You know Goldielocks? Yeah, this show was like that.

St. Patricks Pogues Show

[music | Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Date With The Night]

Pogues at Avalon. Perfect time of year to see a band I've wanted to see since I was old enough to care about decent music. Every 6 months there is another report about how Shane MacGowan should be deader than Keith Richards, and I always worried I'd never get my chance to see this.

mc chris - Harpers Ferry

Well, I haven't felt like that big a dork in quite a while...

...and I'm a pretty big dork.

Show was about what I expected, music wise. It was way too treble heavy though, which kind of bugged me.

One thing I didn't expect was the crowd. I guess I didn't really know what to expect, but it was the most polite, well behaved, tidy, obedient bunch of folks I've ever been around at a show. Maybe, maybe Rasputina, when they made us all sit on the floor so everyone could see, could even come close.

Hanzel und Gretyl photos

[music | Front 242 - Felines]

These actually came out really good. I attribute that to me being At. The. Stage and to the lighting being very photo-friendly, not to my camera phone which still sucks.

Primus + Rasputina

[music | Tweaker, Bauhaus, Voidoids, RevCo]

Dirty pothead hippies can be closeminded annoying drunken pricks as much as any jock. Thats the lesson taught by the crowd at Primus/Rasputina.

Alice in Chains - Lupo's

Tonight was Alice in Chains, obvious possible reservations there, but it was good, much better than I expected.

Chris Isaak Touched Mah Woman

[music | Social Distortion - Like an Outlaw (for You)]

Back to the Bank of America Pavilion for Chris Isaak this time. Another one that I would have loved to see and didn't. It felt nice to be on the relatively young end of a crowd, too.

Throwing. Muses.

[music | Pigface - Mind Your Own Business (Remix by Tweaker)]

Seeing Throwing Muses brought me straight back to the days of all the great bands I missed because I was too young to get from NH into Boston to see things. I'm so glad I can get to all the shows now, in a big way because everyone I "missed" when I was 16 or 17 is still rocking hard, albeit sometimes very differently. (see also, Pixies, Aimee Mann, etc.) Plus a new "Gem" in Bullseye, with a great Boston Lineage.
