Irving Plaza message says Miles etc. Robinson at 8, Bob Mould at 9, until 10:30. Too early, too early...

Os Mutantes were garbage. Not comparable to the 2006 reunion tour.

Royal Bangs are fucking awesome.

Erin McCarley play a nice set at the Bowery. And here is a taste of Landon Pigg tonight playing our favorite AT&T song.

"FUCK YEAH WE LIKE THOSE SAW MOVIES! LET'S SHOOT THIS THING!"

Bob played his best electric band show in NYC in eleven years. The setlist was effectively balanced, keyboards were out - it was his classic three piece context for the first time since Sugar, the mix at the foot of the stage was crystal, and his voice was in particularly fine form last night. He is also (gradually) opening up his Husker songbook beyond the same five or six songs he's been playing the last few years - opening the set with Something I Learned Today was a great move, torching the thing right from the get go (though he could have kept that going with Broken Home, Broken Heart, before moving on to Sugar and new tunes...), and ending the pre-encore set with In a Free Land. He's never done either song in his post-HD career until this tour.
He pulled out Too Far Down, in a total surprise (seemed like the band didn't see it coming either - they just watched as he went into it after Hardly Getting Over it).

Also, one of the warmer crowds I've seen at a Bob show. A lot of good vibes in the room, making Bob look happier than I've ever seen him at a show.

Always a compelling, moving, and rocking night when Bob comes in with a band. Two of the four new songs sounded way better live than on disc - Life and Times and The Breach.

And the highlight is always Chartered Trips, and so it was again. But a full band Wishing Well (finally, after 19 years of it only being a solo show opener) came close to topping it (and the aforementioned solo acoustic Too Far Down, and the raging Something I Learned, and In a Free Land...)

Husker Du. The gist is still there at BM's band shows.

Did anyone else think Mould's guitar was mixed way to low - could barely hear it on the Husker Du stuff. That's not right.

Posted by Anonymous | October 9, 2009 1:49 PM

probably depends where you were....anyone standing on bob's side heard it pretty clearly, or back in the middle or balcony hear the sound board. the left side of the room can be problematic when Mould plays - he likes to be pretty far to the right, though with the trio format he should have been heard well everywhere....when he had a second guitarist in 98 it was sometimes not great in the mix, but when it's all him, it should have been louder, yeah. Advice - stand on his side.

I stood on his side towards the back and the sound was clear
