Just got back from seeing the Bosstones. They were amazing. Played a ton of songs from their entire library. No "Hope I Never Lose My Wallet" though  . As they played the last note of their song the banner they had in the back dropped to reveal a banner of Obama with the word "Dream" under it. All pretty badass.And then the Murphys came on and told us they were recording the show for a new live cd! I can't wait to go again tomorrow and saturday

Mike_V posted:Sorry. Return to your discussion about SM/RBF/LTJ/Big D for 20 pages. While I do agree that the big shows are less fun then the smaller ones, there was no problem getting a pit going. There were 2-3 pits going during their set almost all the time. Now bear in mind this was an outdoor show at the baseball park so the "floor" area was huge and it fit maybe 1,500 people.

I do agree that the "bros" at the DKM shows are horrible. I've been elbowed enough times in the past two nights to last a life time. I managed to grab a setlist from the Bosstones though and a plaid scally cap, so all is good. Bosstones set for Friday: Noise Brigade Hope I Never Lose My Wallet The Rascal King Where'd You Go? Illegal Left Simmer Down He's Back Katie Someday I Suppose Dr. D Everybody's Better Rudie Can't Fail Old School Off The Bright Royal Oil Let Me Be Hell of a Hat I'll Drink To That 1-2-8 Desmond Dekker Cowboy Coffee Holy Smoke The Impression That I Get The Impossible Dream Dicky said they were gonna vary the set each night for the people coming to all 3 shows.  edit: And if the Bosstones set consisted of Hell of a Hat, Hope I Never Lose My Wallet, and Dr. D I would be forever happy.

The Obama banner is no worse than bands with "gently caress bush" (seems like now-a-days every band has one) songs. And "Where'd You Go?" has been confirmed to be in Rock Band 2. gently caress yes they picked an awesome Bosstones song and not The Impression That I Get.

gerfatty posted:I gotta ask, was anyone else disappointed by the Bosstones when they came around? I saw them in LA back in March, and I just wasn't really impressed. I'm just as big a Bosstones fan as the next guy, and I'm not one to stand back and watch the band, so I was giving it my all dancing-wise, but for some reason I just couldn't get into it. Maybe it's the fact that my favorite album by theirs is Question The Answers, so I was expecting somewhat of a more crazy punk-over-ska situation that never really materialized. They just felt too...produced for me. I was never lucky enough to see them before they went on the indefinite hiatus, so maybe they've always been like this? They are amazing out in the New England area. Seen people of all ages at the new shows. I'd just say you were unlucky. They played a fair number of songs off Question The Answers last time I saw them. Kinder Words, Hell Of A Hat, Toxic Toast, and Dogs And Chaplains.

guppy posted:Yeah, the Murphys made the crowd average older. Ska generally skews young, though. Ska yes, but the Bosstones? After not touring for so long you think there would be much more old fans coming to the shows than new younger fans.

gerfatty posted:Yeah I don't really know what the deal was. That's what I was expecting as well, not so much the typical high school ska crowd. I'm just lamenting the fact that apparently I'm officially too old to be into ska. The age that Ben Carr is when he stops dancing on stage is the age that, when reached, you will be "too old for ska". Not a second before.

I didn't even get to see all of Reel Big Fish's set, a friend of ours was crowd-surfing and landed on her back in the middle of a pit. Wow if she managed to crowd surf into the middle of the pit before she fell she has some skill.

Once RB2 comes out I'm going to start an online Bosstones band. We need a a Dicky Barrett, a Lawrence Katz, and a Joe Sirois to round out the band. Accepting sign ups now. edit: and you should be able to play your instrument on expert. Fateo McMurray fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Aug 18, 2008 |

My version is only 1:06 and fades out toward the end. Dammit I guess I hosed up when ripping it from the cd many years ago. I looked on the itunes store and their version is also 2:33. The live version is only 2:26, so I don't think it's missing anything.

FloppyDiskCommando posted:I'm driving down from Boston to see the Starland show. It helps tremendously that I have friends in Brunswick to crash with (not that a 3 hour drive is painful in the least) You think that now. But after a night of dancing and sweating and maybe some drinking, a long drive like that is painful. After seeing the Bosstones and Murphys up in Portland the drive back to Massacusetts was horrible. I was so sweaty and tired I just didn't want to drive at all.

Geoj posted:I managed to catch Streetlight opening for the BossTones Saturday night but it was one of those cases where the planets aligned for a split second...I guess both bands had a show scheduled that night in Buffalo so they "merged" them. I'd really like to see a tour with the BossTones, Streetlight and another east-coast band like The Pietasters or Westbound Train. Part of the problem with Streetlight not touring with Ska bands is there really aren't that many ska bands left (for example, face it, RBF is a ska band in name only anymore) and of those that are left, Streelight's really the only one that tours nearly year-round. The Bosstones have been scheduled to play with streetlight and everybody out in buffalo for a few months now. Did you see everybody out? I love those guys. And what do you mean RBF is ska in name only?

Seriously people who care what other people are wearing at concerts are douchebags and you shouldn't care what they think. Who the gently caress cares what you're wearing, just enjoy the music.

goddamn yes we do edit: "Lately we have been busy writing and recording music for a new MMB record. Two of the songs, "Impossible Dream" and "next To Nothing" will be released next month on a limited edition 7" on our own Big Rig Records (500 on black, 500 on white). We added these two songs to the player TONIGHT in order to commemorate and celebrate this historic election. Enjoy!" From their myspace. I really like the new songs, and will definitely be picking up the 7". Now if only I didn't work retail this year I might be able to go to a throwdown show. But they won't let me have the week after xmas off. Dicks.

If this isn't cool I'll remove it, but seeing as it was posted by a moderator on the official Bosstones boards they must be ok with it right? http://www.bosstonesmusic.com/newbboard/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2693 A ton of b-sides, rarities, bootlegs, etc. Basically stuff you can't buy.
