you went right?
how was it?
I have a ticket for Thursday here in Philly, but now am not sure if I can make it due to other life stuff and was just not feeling it for a while.
So how was it?
If you dug it, then i will go and suffer thru work at 5:00 AM the next day
H2O played a really good set!! I thought Bad Braind where decent. They started off really good but then got a little weak in the middle (to much of
the drawn out reggae stuff for me). They ended really strong. That isn't much of a revue but I figured I would give my 2 cents!!
You gotta figure it's gonna a whole hell of a lot different in Philly too, with the GZA on the bill(that's worth it right there to my mind, more than
Bad Brains.).
I thought they were really good. Not like the 81 CBGBs dvd, but I did think they were good. HR moved more than when I saw them a few years ago. Like
Shawn said, he had a guiar that was plugged into a DI box, but there was NO sound. He 'played' along to about 3/4 of the songs.
They did do some reggae jams. but Earl, Darryl & Doc are so good that its rad to just watch them play even if you're not totally into the song.
I was happy with the song selection overall.
Also H2O was really good and I'm sure that GZA will be interesting to see too.
Bad Brains had a TON of merch! 8-9 shirts, a sweatshirt, a back catalog of CDs, tapes (yes tapes), can coozies, playing cards, vinyl, picture discs,
pins, stickers and the Pay To Cum reissue on black vinyl and a tour exclusive on blue vinyl limited to 300.
I wanted to stay longer after the show to meet all the guys, but I had to get home. I was able to meet Darryl (my favorite bass player of all time)
and he signed my 7". Wish I could have at least stayed to meet HR too... stupid work!
I say if you have tickets... GO!

I ut my ticket up on Craigs List just to try and get my money back.
I can't go at this point due to parental responsibilities.
If I do get the urge to see a crazy dreadlocked homeless looking rastafarian, I needent go further than 69th Street Terminal which requires no
admission fee.
