I'm only doing Werchter next. Next tour definitely. Is 2006 really the last time? Wow. I saw Hinny and was surprised 2007 already was the last time we met as well. I need to work more on my socializing skills.
I was disappointed about Yellow Moon as well. That was the one new song I really wanted more than everything else. Hopefully we'll get to hear it soon.

According to the stat tracker we only need to hear this one and Infallible and Future Days to complete Lightning Bolt live. Not bad for just two shows in on this tour.
Evacuation from last night - it's down-tuned worse than it was at the Spectrum 2009. Warning: Ed's intro to the song is the most listenable bit of this video...
Sounded fine to me. I wish I was there. I still love this band.
Hot Damn. So, thats what pearl jam sounds like when they rehearse? Sounded great to me. I love that song.

I dunno if it's 'cuz you bastards have made a cynic out of me, but I enjoyed these less than my 2009 shows. The first night was very rough around the edges and they only played one No Code track (but hey, they made room for 3 or 4 covers). There were some great moments, though. That Evacuation almost fooled me into thinking it's a decent song.
Getaway sounds AWFUL. Sleeping By Myself was a highlight. Also, the way the crowd reacted to Sirens (a similar response to Black/Jeremy), I think it's in for heavy rotation for the foreseeable.

I'm sure he whipped out the blue one at some point as well (though my memory is shot). Does anybody know what was going on when the mic cut out for half a song until the tech ran out with a new one? I kept thinking "oh shit, Ed's gonna fire somebody".

I just listened/watched these two videos, and I'm surprisingly thinking they both sound pretty good. I'll be happy when this tour is over so that the best performances of all the Lightning Bolt tracks can be put together for a definitive LBLive compilation.

Ricky put a curse on the band's equipment. It's true cause I read it on the internet.
