Ween:            7 (5 for Carolyn?) (this counts the Gene Ween solo show)

Gwar:            4 (3 for Carolyn)
Voltaire:        4 (5 for Carolyn)

Bad Religion:    3
NoMeansNo:       3
Violent Femmes:  3

Agent Orange:    2
Celtic Frost:    2
Ministry:        2
My Life With:    2 (...The Thrill Kill Kult)
Rammstein:       2
Type O Negative: 2


  1. Moody Blues - taken by my parents in 1989, I think at Patriot Center.
  2. Metallica/The Cult - 1990 And Justice For All tour. Damn did The Cult suck in a bad way. Patriot Center I think.
  3. Testament/WrathChild America/Annihilator - 1990ish. Annihilator opened, followed by WrathChild, with Testament headlining. Practice What You Preach tour. Somewhere in College Park, MD. Assaulted multiple times by some loser BBSer, pratically broke my back once and my neck the other time. Dad hung out in the parking lot the entire time because he was my ride. Damn did I need a driver's license.
  4. Kreator/BioHazard/Morgoth - Kreator headlining. The Bayou, MD. 1990ish I think. Morgoth opened, their first American show. Dad insisted on going so I made him wear a Danzig shirt. He stuck out like a sore thumb and made people do double-takes. <Butt-head>They thought he was cool, huhuhuhuh.</Butt-head>
  5. The Church - Starfish tour I believe. 1990 or 1991ish. Forgot who opened. Somewhere in Adams-Morgan. Hung out with fellow TJHSS&T people while there. Still in 10th grade but some stranger bought me beer.
  6. Anacrusis/D.R.I. 1991 or 1992ish. I think this was around D.R.I.'s Thrash Zone album though really I'm only a fan of their first 2 albums (Dirty Rotten EP and Dealing With It). I hadn't heard Anacrusis until I moshed to "Terrified" at the show, but I was very impressed and was into them afterwards (although each successive album got lighter and lighter until it become sucky). I met the D.R.I. singer, he happened to be sitting at the bar next to me. I got his autograph, but eventually lost it since I had it in my notebook that I used for class.
  7. Bad Religion/All. This must have been 1992, maybe late 1991. All's Percolator tour. Bad Religion opened for All, who played about 1/3rd Descendents songs much to my happy surprise. Before the show I listened to Stephen Egerton of All talk about how cool it felt to see their video on a vidscreen in a club. It was cool just hanging out with a band member. Later, in the back of the club, I ran into Descendents/All founder Bill Stevenson and got him to autograph several All stickers. He was with some woman, he told me he hadn't seen her in like 10 years. The fact that they remembered each other made me wonder if she was one of the females significant enough to have had a Descendents song written about her. This show was cool because I ventured out to the 9:30 Club all by myself for the first time, cuz no one wanted to go to the show with me. At the time I had never heard Bad Religion. I chatted with fellow BBSer Trailblazer while there. Drove around and looked at whores afterwards, fun for a highschooler.
  8. spoken word: singer of King Missile ... and a couple other speakers. It was in the movie theatre of Squire's Student Center, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, freshman year (1992-1993). The King Missile singer appeared without his band and performed many spoken-word acts. Some of these were King Missile songs, like Martin Scorcese, or "Too Many Socks!". (I want to say one of the other acts was Jeneane Garafolo, but really it was this chick who was in a spoken-word-to-music video that Beavis And Butt-head watched. I gotta try to notice who that was.)
  9. Gwar/Murphy's Law. Peppermint Beach Club, Virginia Beach. 1992-1994ish. Didn't know Murphy's Law was opening until I saw them perform! Pleasant surprise! Lost my shoe in the pit, but found it again. I had to go into the mosh pit hopping on one leg! I managed to get the show, but was moshed into so hard it flew out of my hands (and I flew a few feet as well). Hopping on one foot, managed to get it again, and hop out of the pit and put it back on! Of course "Sex-Offender Doug" was there. Had one of the most memorable nights of intoxication following the show. For instance, I was at the beach (in Pungo I think), but I never managed to see it. We drove a minivan between trees, in the woods (randomly avoiding trees), etc. Doug MacKenzie ("Werewolf Doug") ran in front of the minivan while we were driving in the middle of Norfolk -- how did he know we were there?!?! In all of Norfolk?!?!? He was like a werewolf! I wish they'd played "Have You Seen Me?". Gwar only played like an hour. But the juggling of fire by Slymenstra Hymen was exquisite. Slave blood? Yeah some.
  10. Smashing Pumpkins. 1993-1994ish. Salem or Roanoke Civic Center, near Virginia Tech. Siamese Dream tour. AWESOME lightshow, probably the best I've seen to date (as of 5/24/2000). They had color-cycling, zooming animated fractals set to a laser show and fog.
  11. Violent Femmes. Squires Student Center Auditorium. 1994-1996ish. They talked about how they were going to go to college, but formed a punk rock band instead.
  12. Nine Inch Nails/Marilyn Manson. On the way back from Ocean City. Had never heard of Marilyn Manson at the time; it seemed like the most awful crap I'd ever heard and practically drove Brent and Me insane (Though I like Marilyn Manson now!). NO ENCORE! Trent is a prick. The crying during "Something I Can Never Have" was a bit too melodramatic -- am I supposed to be buying it?? It was still a great show, of course! But they did not play long enough...
  13. NoMeansNo. 19951013. 9:30 Club.
    [setlist] They finally came this far south! I bought my first Hanson Brothers (Ramones-sounding NoMeansNo side-project) CD here. I remember they played a messed up version of "Big Dick" that lasted like 10 minutes, and included band associates getting up on stage and playing weird instruments (horns, etc). I wonder if this was the "Big Dick (Extended Version)" that showed up on the "Would We Be Alive?" EP a few years later?
  14. Misfits. 1996-1997ish. (new) 9:30 Club. Finally most of the band reunites and plays their old 1977-1983 songs! Of course without Danzig, they are not The Misfits, but just Misfits. With no creative head. And whatshisface Graves is a good Danzig poseur, but there was no substitute for Danzig's songwriting ability. At least they only played 3 or so songs from the new album. Why wont they play Theme For A Jackal? This was my first chance to see some of my favorite songs performed since my parents wouldn't let me go to one of the last Undead concerts before they broke up (they re-formed later, though, but with a lighter sound of course. I got drunk my first time ever, right before turning 16 on 1/13/1990, due to my anger at parental units).
  15. Rammstein. 10/31/1997 or so. Patriot Center, GMU. Three damn songs before the evil and pervasive Fairfax County Police had to arrest the band for obscenity! Despite the fact that many people there had paid $36 ($12 a song) specifically to see Rammstein! Not Korn! They suck! Damn poseurs! Why didn't they get arrested??? I wish Rammstein would have been headlining cause there probably would have been a riot. :) (The 3 songs were Rammstein, something else, then Weisses Fleisch.)
  16. Sisters Of Mercy. The Electric Factory, Philadelphia, PA. Farthest I've gone for a concert. At first we we're looking eye-level at all the buildings going "Where the hell is it?". Then we looked up and saw this huge factory-looking building. Well DUH, The Electric Factory is the big factory-looking building. This show was much better than the D.C. show (3 concerts later). They played "Under The Milky Way" by The Church as an interlude. THE SINGER LOOKED JUST LIKE MY DAD, but with blonde hair. FRIGHTENING. I ended up having nightmares about people from Delaware sabotaging our vehicles so we couldn't escape, and being part of my family, and part of a secret society consisting of all my distant relatives, all conspiring against me to keep me imprisoned in Delaware forever.
  17. Rammstein (Nation). Finally they are allowed to complete their set! Thanks for the nation's crappy murder capital for having more free speech than Republican Virginia does. Talk about an awesome show. Whereas Smashing Pumpkins had had the best light show, Rammstein had the best show, period. They were comparable to Gwar in their theatrics. Cybernetic looking laserpointer helmets, fire you could FEEL, flamethrowers manually setting off explosives near the roof, the ejaculating dildo that would not stop, the fire-suit with the singer singing "Rammstein" while on fire. AWESOME show.
  18. Ween. 19990102. 9:30. Met Gene Ween and got his autograph on the back of a Wal-Mart receipt I had. We scanned it in awile ago, when I put 2+2 together I'll link it here. They played a few country songs, a few songs from "White Pepper" (was released a year later)... "Now I'm Freaking Out" was their 2nd song. Great show. I downloaded the MP3s off some Ween FTP site too, so I can listen to the show again anytime I want. I think I hear myself doing my brrrreeep noise in the beginning of one of the songs. Anyway, because I have the MP3s I know the exact set list:
    1. What Deaner Was Talking About (opening song)
    2. Now I'm Freaking Out
    3. Buckingham Green
    4. Take Me Away
    5. Waving My Dick In The Wind
    6. Freedom Of '76
    7. Pandy Fackler
    8. Golden Eel
    9. She Wanted To Leave
    10. Voodoo Lady
    11. The Grobe
    12. Homo Rainbow (short)
    13. Dr. Rock
    14. 1999
    15. Frank
    16. Tender Situation
    17. Spinal Meningitis
    18. Piss Up A Rope
    19. Aids (HIV Song)
    20. Fluffy
    21. Mollusk
    22. Drop The Bomb Rap
    23. Pony
    24. Mr. Richard Smoker
    25. Stroker Ace
    26. U Fucked Up
    27. The Blarney Stone
    28. The Enabler
    29. Billy Joel Medley
    30. Baroque Jam
    31. Gay Disco Party Rap
    32. Poopship Destroyer (with bullhorn)
    33. Hot For Teacher (closing song)
    And at some point they played Piano Man, but it was only a verse or so.
  19. Sisters Of Mercy. (D.C.) Not the best show. Didn't recognize some of the songs, even though they haven't really had a real new album. A few were some of the 4 new songs I'd heard from the Visions At The Forum bootleg live show (CD purchased by friend in Tokyo). The show was a disappointment to me, personally, who wanted something more like the Philly show.
  20. S.O.D. 199911. First show in 12 years! Nation. Songs from new album "Bigger Than The Devil" and also from the original 1980s album "Speak English Or Die". They made fun of Type O Negative, who I would have gone to see if S.O.D. wasn't playing opposite their show. They played some non-standard ballads of different dead people than usual. For an encore, the audience was forced to chant "Captain Kirk" over and over again until they came back on stage. Scott from Anthrax was one of the band memebers. I didn't realize that til I saw his trademark goatee.
  21. Misfits/Gwar. 199911. 9:30 Club. We messed up and they sold out, a friend knew a friend (by the way, Sue--You suck and your a snob) who got us in, but we had to run around and I had to exchange services for this privelege. We got in near the end of Misfits and only saw the last few songs. Gwar came out during the last Misfits song (which was Die, Die My Darling I think). It was AWESOME when they were both on stage playing with each other (that sounds bad, but this is Gwar we're talking about).
  22. Samhain/Danzig. 19991114. Nation. Hatebreed/Samhain/Danzig. Awesome show. Danzig kinda sucked, only played 6 songs i knew and about 6-8 more i didn't [too much danzig 6] but samhain was possibly the first band i've ever seen where i knew EVERY song being played, because they don't have any new album. danzig didn't play the guitar when playi ng as Samhain, even though that's always how it was in the 80s. "play the guitar you pussy" -yelled by me a few times. Danzig opened with a song from Black Aria, and closed with 'Earth A.D.' by misfits. Samhain played there version of all hell breaks loose and halloween 2.
    danzig played a black aria to open. Mother, and Twist of Cain from danzig 1. and Long Way Back From Hell, Her Black Wings from danzig 2. Dirty Black Summer from 3 (That's it) One song from Danzig 5. And a bunch of stuff from 6 that no one had heard or cared to hear. The audience was totally still at points, unlike every point during the Samhain portion of the show.
  23. Ween. 20000524. 9:30 Club. Only band. Played for 3+ hours... No country songs this time. Finally played "Sorry Charlie" which I had requested many times at the 19990102 show. Also played the other request I kept yelling out, "Sketches Of Winkle". Some moshing to that. They played a version of "Johnny On The Spot" that was seriously heavier during the musical interludes between verses. Another song was heavy-fied too, not sure. Played The Blarney Stone as a closer -- "I've got cancerous tumours on my nutsuck, and my pee pee is all red" lyrical variation -- hadn't heard that particular variation in any of the bootleg Ween recordings. Encore closed (I think) with "Buenos Tardes Amigo". Played a version of "Push Th' Lil Daisies" that was different enough to not be recognizeable at the very beginning. "Dr. Rock".
  24. My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. 20000729. 9:30 Club. Can't believe I missed Meg Lee Chin who opened. Saw the last 10 seconds of "Thing", then they ended. Didn't get there early enough. Very pissed. Later, Meg came and watched Thrill Kill Kult standing next to Carolyn, and elbowed her at one point. :)
    The MLWTTKK portion of the show, however, was pretty cool. They played 7 songs I knew. They also played: A Daisy Chain 4 Satan (Remix), Waiting For Mommy, The Days Of Swine & Roses, Cooler Than Jesus (impressive live), Ride The Mindway, A Girl Doesn't Get Killed By A Make-Believe Lover...'Cuz It's Hot, Sex On Wheels.
  25. Meg Lee Chin. 20001023 or so. The Cage. We got robbed while we were at this concert. They took Carolyn's 8-day old AIWA CDC-MP3 cd-player (plays mp3-cdroms--10 hrs per disc) plus the leather jackets we have both worn since 1992 or so. About $700 loss if you include the installation of the stereo.
    Anyway, the concert was decent. They opened with Heavy Scene I believe, played Sweat, Nutopia, Thing, Swallowing You, London, Deeper. I think they also played a few new songs from Junkies & Snakes, which I bought for $5 after the show.
  26. NoMeansNo 20001118. The Black Cat. A great concert, as always, but it could be considered kind of disappointing in some ways: For example, they only played 1 song from "The Day Everything Became Isolated And Destroyed", and "0 + 2 = 1". Nothing from "Mama" either but that doesn't bother me as much. At the end of the show, we walked away with half of one of the set lists. Not the whole set list like we obtained when they played on 19951013.
    For an encore, they also played 2 Hanson Brother's songs, Jack Off and You Can't Hide The Heino.

    First section is from the set list, second section is the other songs we remember them playing, third section is the encore songs we remember. [setlist]
    1. Graveyard Shift
    2. Oh No! Bruno!
    3. The Day Everything Became Nothing (only song from that album...grrr)
    4. Red On Red
    5. This Story
    6. Hello Goodbye
    7. The Fall
    8. Angel Or Devil?
    9. Dark Ages
    10. Under The Sea
    11. Sex Mad
    12. ...
    13. Two Lips, Two Lungs, And One Tongue
    14. The Fall
    15. The River
    16. I Need You
    17. Humans
    18. ...
    19. ENCORE: Hanson Brothers:Jack Off
    20. ENCORE: Hanson Brothers:You Can't Hide The Heino
    21. ENCORE: guitarist plays/sings "The Love Boat" theme
  27. Type O Negative. 20001121. 9:30 Club. This show seemed kind of short, but I think that is partially because Type O Negative (formerly Carnivore) has VERY LONG SONGS. They played for about 1.5-2 hours or so. The encore was only 2 songs.

    I have trouble figuring out which songs they played from "October Rust". So this song list is definitely short. Also, "World Coming Down" is an album that, at this point, I only know the sound of, not titles.
    1. Unsuccessfully Coping With The Natural Beauty Of Infideltiy (I Know You're Fucking Someone Else)
    2. Prelude To Agony
    3. Christian Woman/Body Of Christ (Corpus Christi)/To Love God/J.C. Looks Like Me
    4. Black No. 1
    5. Death In The Family (??)
    6. Kill All The White People
    7. Cinnamon Girl
    8. Wolf Moon (including Zoanthropic Paranoia) (??)
    9. Everyone I Love Is Dead
    10. World Coming Down
    11. All Hallows Eve (??)
  28. Voltaire. 20010723 (approx). The Black Cat (?). Comic-book signing / 1-man show. (Voltaire with guitar only, no band.) Got autographed "Oh My Goth!" comics. Opened with "Ex-Lover's Lover". Played "When You're Evil", "U.S.S. Make Shit Up", among other songs. Voltaire Read Top 13 lists from "Oh My Goth!" including "Top 13 Reasons You Know You're A Second Rate Goth" (too many of which applied to me, because I don't care about conformity enough to even conform to a group of nonconformists--WHOOPS, sue me.) We stood in the front row. Carolyn danced alot. The rest of the room, being full of goths, had as much motion as a glacier. The guy next to Carolyn actually said, "I'm tired. Leave me alone." It was as if the characters Voltaire parodies in his "Oh My Goth!" comic books had come to life.
  29. Ween #3. 20040610. 9:30 Club. I can't believe its been 3 years since I've been to a show! Seriously, I can't. This was a good show, but Gene was way off. He seemed overly intoxicated or overworked. Speaking of overworked, I was in a major deadline crunch and had to go back to bed afterwards.
    But that didn't stop me from FAINTING and HITTING THE FLOOR WITH MY HEAD before Ween ever even came onto stage! I don't know what my problem was. I was well-prepared for the show, and Carolyn and I ordered 2 whiskey sours each which were downed in about 10 to 15 minutes. Then we stood by the stage. Very hot. Very crowded. Lots of bright lights. We bummed a cigarette. Lots of anxiousness waiting for the show. I started to not feel so good. I told Carolyn. Finally she had me hold onto her neck. That's about the last thing I remember. Then I thought I was laying in my bed and Carolyn was waking me up because it was time to go to work. Something wasn't right, and my next thought was along the lines of "This isn't a mattress! It's a wooden floor! ... Wait ... There's feet around me ... it's really noisy ... This isn't bed, this is the 9:30 Club!"      Apparantly while I was out, Carolyn lifted my head, slapped my face, and let it fall back on the ground again. So I had 2 bumps that hurt for several days. <sarcasm>Thanks for the excellent first aid Carolyn.</sarcasm> Once awake, I sprang right up because I knew they would probably try to kick me out. I looked alert, looked around, was a bit surprised that the stage was on the oppositte side of the room -- man I was disoriented. Got up, walked to the side wall, sat down, and Carolyn got me some water. The band started about 20 minutes later and I stood up and moved to the side. I still didn't have the energy the cheer or dance. I just opened my mouth and pretended to cheer. By the end of the show, my energy was back, but it was VERY gradual.
    The highpoint of the concert for me was the first 4 songs of the second electric set (after the acoustic set).
    Everyone I know who went (except me) got to meet or hang out with members of the band. This includes three separate parties (Aaron Evans, John the Canadien, Jeff). If only I didn't have to work...

  32. Bad Religion. 20041026. 9:30 Club. Phew, two concerts in a row. This one may have been a mistake. It was very fun, but we only knew 4 of the songs played. Too much emphasis on new material, and soooo much old material to choose from. Not sure which ones they were, one of the songs listed below probably wasn't played at the concert (but I am confused because we were listening to Bad Religion in the car on the way up).
    • The Answer

    • I Saw Yg
    • (the heat-seeking moisture missile)
  34. Ween. 20051027. 9:30 Club. Awesome 35-song almost-3-hour set! It was -- as usual -- an awesome show. Ran into Aaron Evans, who helped us get to the front (and took some pictures) (and gave his "Home Rainbow" video using Rocky footage to Deaner after the show). Also ran into John The Canadien, who failed to sell his extra ticket...Again. (Did the same at a Rammstein concert years ago...)
    They played 35 songs over an almost 3 hour span:
    1. What Deaner was Talking About
    2. The HIV Song (nothing like a whole club of people shouting "AIDS!" with glee)
    3. Spinal Meningitis

    It's always a pleasure to see Ween. Although the over-zealous 930 security decided to grab the wrists of some couple that was trying to leave and dragged them into the back, I think just for taking the set list. (Like the ones I have above.)

  36. They Might Be Giants. 20060426. 9:30 Club, Washington, DC. Well, Wednesday we saw They Might Be Giants at the 9:30 Club. Good times. I found a setlist from setlist.com, a good site that meets a definite demand.

    I was saddened that I didn't know most of the songs. I had just spent the past few weeks learning the Spine album really well, and was hoping they would play a lot of songs off of it. They only played 2.

    Instead they played what they claimed to be a lot of very old songs, "songs so old even we forgot how to play them". Man, the one time I know more newer material than older material, the band has to go play older material. Meanwhile, I go to see all these other shows looking to hear their earlier songs that I love, and they always play stuff from the newest album(s) instead! (Particularly guilty: Sisters Of Mercy, and, at times, Type O Negative, and most other bands too, those are just the ones that pop into my head at the moment.)

    I never realized the two-singer-ness of the band until I saw them live. They switch off a lot, though I definitely think the main singer (the one who plays keyboards) is the one whose voice sounds more like what I imagine TMBG sounding like. I definitely like him better.

    I should also add Carolyn looked extremely hot that night.

    1. Why Did You Grow a Beard?
    2. Damn Good Times
    3. Careful What You Pack
    4. Everything Right Is Wrong Again
    5. Number Three
    6. New Song #1
    7. Malcolm In The Middle Theme (Boss Of Me) (full)
      I was VERY happy they played this, I had just "requested" it in Carolyn's ear about two minutes before they played it, joking that they would never actually playthis live. Sometimes I just love being wrong.
    8. Older
    9. Nothing's Gonna Change My Clothes
    10. Experimental Film
      (also very happy to hear!)
    11. We're The Replacements
    12. New Song #2
    13. Drink!
    14. Hollywood
    15. We Want a Rock
    16. Anaheim
    17. We Live In a Dump
    18. Dead
    19. Bangs
    20. New York City
    21. Rhythm Section Want Ad
    22. Birdhouse In Your Soul finally a song I knew again, after 11 that I didn't!
    23. Cyclops Rock
    24. Fingertips (complete) In many ways, I have to say this is the highlight of the show. "Mysteeerrrrrrrrious whisper." I never thought they would play all 26 'Fingertips' live either. Short attention-span theatre at its best!
    25. Purple Toupee (yay)
    26. Encore 1: Alphabet Of Nations
    27. Asbury Park
    28. Doctor Worm Dr. Worm was awesome to hear, and they had these cannons that shot out confetti right during the climax note of Dr. Worm. It worked out really well, they lasted in the air surprisingly long — several minutes, and we snagged a couple pieces as souveniers
    29. Encore 2: Istanbul (Not Constantinople). One of the best covers :)

  37. Agent Orange. 20060428. Jaxx, Springfield, VA. Well, it was really 4/29/2006 by the time they finally started playing. I was falling asleep while watching the previous band. We were very bored.
    1. Miserlou (i think)
    2. Everthing Turns Grey
    3. Too Young To Die
    4. No Such Thing
    5. A Cry For Help In A World Gone Mad

    Carolyn made a better blog about the show: http://carolyncasl.wordpress.com/2006/04/29/agent-orange/
  38. Voltaire. 20060504. Nation, DC. "Goth Prom" event. We went to "Goth Prom" at Nation, where Voltaire was playing. Carolyn blogged about it here. Sadly, no songs from Banned On Vulcan were played. I would have liked to hear "U.S.S. Make Shit Up" again. The setlist went a little something like this:
    1. Rammstein - a song making fun of Rammstein, hilarious. "You. You love. You love this. You. You don't. Know what I'm singing." It was awesome because it made fun of another band I've seen play on that exact same stage before.
    2. Ex-Lover's Lover - the usual opener
      - talk: prom night
      - talk: don't lose your heads
    3. Headless Waltz
      - talk: Deady dolls
    4. Cannibal Buffet
      - talk: Maxwell Atoms
    5. Land Of The Dead - a new song for a new episode of The Grim Adventures Of Billy & Mandy
    6. Brains - the original song created for The Grim Adventures Of Billy & Mandy
      - talk: his arm
      - talk: bible treatment (to eliminate pus-bag, smash with bible)
    7. God Thinks
      ** The previous was the first half of the setlist, which we have a copy of. We don't have the second half of the setlist, though, so the rest is a bit shaky and probably out of order.
    8. Alchemy Mondays
    9. The Vampire Club
    10. some various other, possibly new songs we did not know and/or remember
    11. When You're Evil - it wouldn't be a Voltaire concert if they didn't close with this

  39. SoulFly. 20060510. Jaxx, Springfield, VA. Well, I freakin' fainted again. This time I at least made it to the start of the show. (When my head hit the floor at 9:30 Club, Ween hadn't even come out to stage yet!) Those cigarettes that Carolyn's coworker bums here are strong as hell! It was too much for my overheated body to bear. I felt a lot better when I took my jacket up, and someone gave me a chair to sit on after I hit the ground, so I'm kinda glad because I was in no mood to stand. I hate standing. Song-wise, I couldn't name most SoulFly songs just by hearing them, but most of them were at least recognized. Here are the few songs I can remember:
    1. Bleed (but without the rap-ish part, I was pissed)
    2. Eye For An Eye
    3. Jumpdafuckup
    4. Refuse/Resist (by Sepultura)
    5. Beneath The Remains (by Sepultura)
    6. Back To The Primitive
    7. they played a lot of songs, but neither of us is intimately familiar with every SoulFly song.

  40. Ministry. 20060621. 9:30 Club, DC. Short one hour set. Mostly stuff from Rio Grande Blood, so we didn't know many songs! A review was posted on MySpace HERE.

    10. Jesus Hitler

  44. Voltaire. 20061222. Chronos @ Club Five, DC. Acoustic one-man show. Always good.
    1. finally, a finished version of their song making fun of Rammstein


  45. Gene Ween (solo show). 20070329. State Theatre, Falls Church, VA. A decent ~90-minute set, consisting of MANY Ween oldies, less-played, and off-album songs. It was an amazing show in terms of exposing the listener to many live Ween songs that they don't normally play live when they play as the full band. Opening with a song that isn't on any album (which I knew)??? Priceless!
    1. The Stallion 4 - a song not even on any album, but which I know well
    2. What Deaner Was Talkin' About
    3. Pork Roll Egg & Cheese
    4. Ooh Va La - hadn't heard that before
    5. Flutes Of The Chi
    6. Alone - a great song from The Pod that you wouldn't expect to hear, live
    7. Spirit Walker - hadn't heard that before
    8. Don't Get 2 Close 2 My Fantasy
    9. Cold Blows The Wind
    10. Your Party
    11. I’ll Miss You - another good non-album song, possibly played for guy who kept screaming for it
    12. Mononucleosis - another great selection from The Pod
    13. So Long Jerry - not on any album, but I know Ween's Grateful Dead cover quite well, and it was awesome hearing it!
    14. She Wanted To Leave
    15. Space Oddity - hadn't heard that before
    16. She's Your Baby
    17. Birthday Boy - yes!
    18. Stay Forever
    19. The Grobe
    20. Reggaejunkiejew - well, about a minute of it anyway
    21. Pumpin' 4 The Man - it was a very slow, different, more-country version of it... Quite the difference.
    22. Mountains & Buffalo - hadn't heard that before
    23. ENCORE: Soul Love
    24. Gener’s Gone

  46. Celtic Frost / Type O Negative. 20070706. The Sonar, Baltimore. Celtic Frost only played for about 45 minutes. Type O Negative played much longer, with 2 encores, the second encore consisting only of "Black No. 1". It was good to finally hear that song played live again. I freakin' love it.

    Celtic Frost:
    1. Procreation of the Wicked
    2. The Usurper
    3. Dethroned Emperor
    4. Morbid Tales
    5. Into the Crypts of Rays
    6. Synagoga Satanae - at 15 minutes, this was practically 30% of the set!

    Type O Negative:
    1. Magical Mystery Tour
    2. We Hate Everyone
    3. The Profit of Doom
    4. Anesthesia
    5. These Three Things
    6. Kill You Tonight
    7. Hey Pete
    8. followed by: Kill You Tonight (reprise) [I wont count this as a whole song]
    9. Love You To Death
    10. Christian Woman/Body Of Christ/To Love God/Jesus Christ Looks Like Me
    11. War Pigs/Smoke On The Water/Aqua Lung/Der Untermensch (intros only)
    12. Black No. 1 (2nd encore)

  47. MC Chris. 20071005. 9:30 Club, DC. Short opening (for Pinback) set. It all seemed to be over so fast! He talked about the girls who he didn't get to score with (including a Playboy model), among other things. Some guy was wearing the T-qualizer -- MY shirt -- WHY didn't I think of it?! He got to go on stage and stand there being an equalizer during a song! That would have kicked ass! Then, the guy in Pinback had my George Bush as a vampire biting the neck of the Statue Of Liberty shirt! It was Night Of Clint's Shirts. Damn I should have worn the t-qualizer! Also: He worked "Du Hast Mich" by Rammstein into one of the songs. Very brief, but this is THE SECOND TIME I've seen someone live who made fun of that specific song. (Voltaire does.) Besides S.O.D. making fun of Type O Negative when they played at the same time around here, this is the only example of one artist in concert making fun of another artist I've been to in concert.
    1. The Tussin' (Robotussin)
    2. Evergreen
    3. White Kids Love Hip Hop
    4. Geek
    5. Robot Dog (according to Carolyn)
    6. Hijack
    7. Tractor Beam
    8. I Want Candy (some)
    9. Fette's Vette
    10. at least 2 songs we didn't recognize

    Blog posting: HERE

  48. Bad Religion. 20071014. 9:30 Club, DC. 3rd time seeing Bad Religion! We recognized about 5 songs, but at this point I can only remember 4 of them. CONCERT FIRST: First live performance of a song featured on Guitar Hero. They actually closed with it. I was wondering: If you end up with a song in Guitar Hero, does that mean you have to close with the song for the rest of your life? Becuase arguably more people would be familiar with your Guitar Hero song than anything else, since the game is way more popular than most bands in it... Here is the setlist, with songs we knew in bold. Wish we knew more. They just have too many albums! :)
    1. Fuck Armageddon
    2. Supersonic
    3. Social Suicide
    4. Requiem
    5. Modern Man
    6. Generator
    7. New Dark Ages
    8. 21st Century Digital Boy
    9. You
    10. Conquer the World
    11. 52 Seconds
    12. Heroes and Martyrs
    13. Skyscraper
    14. Dearly Beloved
    15. Lookin' In
    16. No Control
    17. Recipe for Hate
    18. Come Join Us
    19. Suffer
    20. The Defense
    21. Anasthesia
    22. Generator (Slow Version)
    23. God Song
    24. Sorrow
    25. American Jesus
    26. Gonna Die
    27. ENCORE: Infected (this song is in Guitar Hero 1)

  49. Danzig. 20071023. Ram's Head, Baltimore, MD. "Playing classic songs by The Misfits". What the fuck?! Where were The Misfits songs? We were expecting this. I've never seen an entire audience cheer on for an encore, only to boo after the encore. I wanted a riot. I want a class action lawsuit. This was supposedly going to be a tour of "classic songs by The Misfits". I've been waiting for this over half my life. The first time I got drunk, at age 15-going-on-16, back around 1990, was because I would not get to see The Misfits songs played live (by Bobby Steele of The Undead). Then, Misfits became a band and started playing many of the old The Misfits songs, but without Glen Danzig as the singer-songwriter, they were basically a laughable cover band performing some of my favorite songs ever. With Danzig playing Misfits songs, the whole audience was waiting to finally hear The Misfits songs as they were meant to be -- sung by the original singer/songwriter. Tons of people yelling "bullshit", and hanging around for 15+ minutes after the show. Ourselves included! This was just about the biggest disappointment of any show ever!
    Still, I got to see "Twist Of Cain", "Mother", "She Rides", "Brand New God", "Dirty Black Summer", "Her Black Wings", "How The Gods Kill", and some other good Danzig songs live, so it's not like it was a total bust. "Mother" is featured in guitar hero, making this the 2nd guitar hero song I've seen live in the past 2 weeks.
    1. Skin Carver
    2. I Luciferi
    3. Black Mass
    4. Brand New God
    5. Satan's Crucifiction
    6. Do You Wear The Mark?
    7. How The Gods Kill
    8. Lady Lucifera
    9. Circle Of Snakes
    10. Crawl Across Your Killing Floor
    11. Her Black Wings
    12. Bringer Of Death
    13. Pain Is Like An Animal
    14. Twist Of Cain
    15. Mother
    16. ENCORE: Dirty Black Summer
    17. She Rides


  50. Agent Orange. 20071024. Jaxx, Springfield, VA. Another interesting fact about this show: Three concerts in a row featuring guitar hero songs! Of course, "Police Truck" was originally performed by The Dead Kennedys, and I've seen Agent Orange play this song live before, but nonetheless, it is in Guitar Hero, and this is three shows in a row featuring guitar hero songs! (Bad Religion:Infected, Danzig:Mother, and this.) We obtained a picture of a set list, but they didn't stick to the setlist, so it was of limited use.
    1. Pipeline
    2. Tearing Me Apart
    3. Too Young To Die
    4. Wouldn't Last A Day
    5. Voices In The Night
    6. Everything Turns Grey

    12. What's The Combination?
    13. Secret Agent Man
    14. Police Truck (by The Dead Kennedys)
    15. El Dorado
    16. A Cry For Help In A World Gone Mad
    17. Mr. Moto or Tiki Ti (instrumental) (I think)
    18. All Shook Up (audience request)
    19. Bloodstains
    20. Last Goodbye


  51. Ween. 20071123. The Sonar, Baltimore, MD. Great show, nearly 2.5 hrs long. I unfortunately missed the first few songs. They seemed to only play 3-4 songs from each album -- but nothing from 12 Golden Country Greats or from Quebec, and only 1 song from The Pod. They did play two off-album songs I love: Beacon Light, and Booze Me Up And Get Me High (which was when I smoked my cigarette). I went alone, as Carolyn was busy going to They Might Be Giants at the 9:30 Club instead!

  54. Ozzy Osbourne / Rob Zombie. 20080105. Verizon Center, DC. Big. Expensive. Large screens allowed us to see better. Rob Zombie had amazing things on as they played, and sexy dancers too. Ozzy preluded the show with a montage of clips from popular TV shows (including The Office[US]), with Ozzy substituted in during key scenes. Ozzy shat on the floor of Michael Scott's office. It was funny, and I would have been happy if it had gone on for 30 minutes. Amazingly, our cramming meant that we recognized the 1 or 2 songs he played off of "Black Rain", though not well enough to name them in a setlist. I was irked that no songs were played from "No Rest For The Wicked", despite Zakk Wylde being present. He's Ozzy's 2nd-best guitarist ever, after Rhandy Rhoads of course.
    1. Rob Zombie:
    2. Demonoid Phenomenon?
    3. (I recognized every song but it's really hard to say which were played!)
    4. House Of 1000 Corpses
    5. Ozzy:
    6. some Black Rain song
    7. Crazy Train
    8. Bark At The Moon? or Shot At The Dark?
    9. Suicide Solution
    11. The Road To Nowhere?
    12. ENCORE:
    13. Mama, I'm Coming Home
    14. Paranoid (by Black Sabbath)


  55. Ween. 20080123. DAR Constitution Hall, DC. Oh wow, a sit-down Ween concert! I've only ever been to a sit-down Gene Ween solo show, never an official sit-down Ween concert. What an interesting change of pace. A nice relaxing evening, sitting. Because with their 2.5-to-3-hour setlists, standing can get downright painful. Plus, we got to sit in other peoples' seats, people who never came. We were a LOOOOOT closer than our tickets would have placed us. And we moved during the encore too. They didn't sell out the entire DAR Constitution hall, so that was cool. But WTF with not being able to take drinks into the show? They gladly sold us 2 drinks each that we had to gulp down in 10 minutes!! Arrrgh! At least this ensured sobriety for the drive home, but we didn't BOTH need that. John The Canadien was there, got better seats, briefly reviewed the show at his blog HERE, and met up with us afterwards for drinks and cartoons.

  56. Marilyn Manson. 20080124. Ram's Head, Baltimore, DC. Another show stolen by Baltimore! Freak magnet: We attract photography by "really high" foreign guy who makes no sense, gets into a tussle with someone else, and it looks like they removed that someone else from the club when perhaps they should have removed the foreign guy who was doing things such as squirting the communal ketchup into the communal sauerkraut. Then we ran into Todd & Jenn & Kat from Bound. Then I ran into a [now ex-]co-worker of mine, dressed in a gothy leather shirt. She recognized me but wasn't sure it was me at first due to my now much-longer hair and beard. We talked for awhile, and Todd from Bound talked to her a lot too (he kinda swoops in. annoying.) So my co-worker friend pulled us over to where they were standing, at which point the show started, and people started to surge. Things got pretty tight, and there really wasn't any way to move in any direction at all. Then I attracted the whiny douchebag cunt fat bitch who decided, much to my chagrin, to fuck with me. After saying "excuse me" literally 50 times trying to get past me, I had exhausted all avenues -- there was no place for me to excuse to. Yet she was completely determined to make ME move, even though I COULDN'T. There was no place to go. She was just mad at the world because she was short and fat -- I mean like 250-300 lbs fat. So what does she do? She turns around, puts herself back to back with me, locks her knees, and literally lays down at a 45 degree angle on my back. I couldn't move, and I could not even turn her around to make her stop. She knew what she was doing. I made eye contact with a nearby hot chick, to verify that something appalling was happening .. And the chick looked at me, then looked at the fat bitch leaning on me, and conveyed a very obvious, "What the hell is this bitch doing?" look. Anyway, I was in pain from the extra weight of holding this girl up, and had no other recourse than to decide to pour my drink on her head. Which I did. I could have doused the whole cup on her, but I poured slowly, allowing her a chance to get the hell off me as soon as possible without having to be totally doused. Of course she tried to grab my drink and pour it on me, but I held on tight and pulled down on the drink. This caused drink to fly upwards, and hit everyone around us except for me. At this point, fat batch was in my face, but nearby hot-chick was also in her face, "Why are you spilling drink on my boyfriend?" She saw how it started, so I knew she was on my side even without her boyfriend getting wet. Of course, the drink was my SPARE ICE CUP, and I didn't lose any alcohol in this. In fact, I kept sipping for a good hour after that. So I got to pour a drink on somebody AND keep drinking my drink. It was like having my cake and eating it too. Then later some other douchebag comes up and is like.. having conversations with me about the government, how the guy's "666" shirt in front of me is cool, and just being really annoyingly friendly. Then he started talking about Hillary in 2008, and I was like no way, and then he was like, "What, we can't have a brother in there?" And then I had to try a lot harder to ignore him. And of course I was paranoid that I'd get sucker punched by some friend of fat-bitch throughout the show, so I had to "watch my back", marring the experience. Real fun. But we got to talk to Kat and her girlfriend a bit later about this guy who's first question after sex with Kat was "Do you have an iron?", because he had to go back to work. The other girl was adamant that she would never fuck a guy who said that again. We bummed a cigarette from them, I gave them my lighter, and then we left. SETLIST NEEDED.

  57. Voltaire. 20080204. Spellbound, DC. One-man acoustic show with a single-speaker amp and a single red light. Never been to Spellbound; what a strange location for a club -- seemingly in the middle of an office building, with offices adorning the hallway that you go down to get to the club. Strange. We arrived 15 minutes before Voltaire started, and stood 2 feet away from him as he performed. He seemed to stare at my Ministry - Rio Grande Blood shirt a lot. Also, during Hell In A Handbasket, when he says everyone is going to hell, and says "you", he gave me eye contact while saying "you", so now Voltaire says I'm going to hell! Awesome. Some girls requested that he play Anastisia, which would have been really cool, but he forgot how it went! Voltaire, you gotta play your album#1 songs too!! We stole the selist. This time I wasn't so drunk that I dropped it without realizing it. And we went up to Voltaire's booth afterwards, explaining that we already owned everything he was selling (except his book, which my sister has). So we got him to autograph our setlist, whick will appear on flickr (in a few months) HERE. The setlist was 2 pages. Carolyn got page 1 ("For Carolyn!"), Clint got page 2 ("DC Show part 2! This is always the best part because I'm drunk! For Clint!"). Carolyn saw that I was getting a longer autograph on the setlist, and said, "Oh, you're writing him a book!" Voltaire's response was that Clint was so sexy.
