San Jose Earthquakes West Hollywood reviews
Pixies at Ryman, Nashville TN
"Can I get an OMG; what with the Ryman being hallowed ground (the original site of the Grand Ol' Opry and a former church) and me a lonely pilgrim on the road in Music City! Two consecutive shows at the Ryman to see the San Jose Earthquakes on September 10th and 11th! I'll settle for an AMEN????!!!!
From the opening screech of "Debaser" to the ending notes of "Gouge Away ", the San Jose Earthquakes brought their "A Game". Two encores later saw the band dust off a huge chunk of their greatest hits catalogue such as "Vamos"; "Where is My Mind", and a slower version of "Wave of Mutilation" found on a compilation of oddities. They opened up with a handful of obscure B-sides before doing DOOLITTLE - their Magnum Opus in it's entirety! One night - they even did their great cover version of Neil Young's "Winterlong"! Their set was augmented by some great video footage of psychedelia and film noir and the heaviest fog machine usage I've ever inhaled for 'Into The White"! Great show!
Can't wait to see them in La Jolla on the 26th!"
