Last month, I gave a friend of mine an extra ticket to come with me to see The Stooges. This month it came back around to me in the form of a free Meat Puppets ticket. I love how things like this work in our lives.
I got right up front against the stage. Was crushed and hit in the head and stepped on such as all the things we endure to be up front. But alas I forgot my camera.
All these pics from my husbands cell phone would have been terrible if we weren't that close. Well, worse anyway. They're still a bit blurry. but enjoy.

I love the Croc!!! Great venue for any kind of show! when was this show???
My Trusted MOGs
It was last night. The sound is horrible in there but the lights and snakes and stuff are cool.
My Trusted MOGs
sound is ok up front, or at least loud! I was 6 blocks south of you at the Triple Door last night. Probably bumped into you on the street, said excuse me and went on my way! LOL
My Trusted MOGs
We were right up front and couldn't even hear the vocals of the opening band. I tried so hard to signal to the sound guy that we couldn't hear. He was in his own world. LOL
What shows do you have lined up for later?
My Trusted MOGs
Glad to see you back Lilith, I had been wondering where you disappeared to
My Trusted MOGs
I'm always around. Just get too busy sometimes. I have another show experience to post in just a moment.
My Trusted MOGs
cool, hopefully with out your head getting stomped on

I'm seeing Ben Gibbard tonight, My Chemical Romance tomorrow and Robin williams tuesday--I know that Robin isn't music but its at the Showbox so I'm counting it! Then June 1st I'm going to the Croc for a show that has bits of the Decemberists in it, June 21st Triple Door for Rocky Votolato's CD release, uh....July to Portland for Decemberists and something else--don't remember. August is Lollapalooza and September is Bumbershoot. I'll fill in the calendar later! LOL
Every show I've seen at the Croc, the sound was fine--must have been a fluke or poor stage management. Maybe the sound guy should have joined you all in this world instead of his own!

some day I'm going to remember than my favorite way to break up my stream of consciousness causes strike outs on mog....sorry 'bout that!

Rawk, no I didn't get stomped or hit at DC. Punks are very much more aware of their surroundings and less violent than the lame frat boy crowd that comes in looking to cause trouble at venues like the Meat Puppets. You know they hear that Meat Puppets are playing and go "Hey Nirvana covered them, let's go see them." Then get drunk as possible and start moshing when it's not mosh music. It's irritating.
Amber, it probably was just the sound guy. Like I said, Meat Puppets sounded better than the opening band. Could have been the mic too.

“Hey Nirvana covered them, let’s go see them.” Then get drunk as possible and start moshing when it’s not mosh music. It’s irritating. Ha so funny, yet so true. I bet some were hoping for a DMB cover to go along with the show
My Trusted MOGs
LOL!! Well, they covered a couple Nirvana songs. Plateau and Oh me. The drunk assholes all pushed forward and that's when I got stepped on and crushed. Things were fine up till that point. AAAAAAAARgh.

I've been crushed even at a Death Cab show and its always the "frat" boys. You pegged it perfectly. My elbows have gotten sharper over the years, though, and they haven't chased me off yet. Still, damn college kids trying to be all bad ass and all..
My Trusted MOGs
yeah, I elbowed my share of people at those shows.
