By 1999 I had seen the Melvins plenty of times. But this was the first time I made a recording of them.
They were on tour for The Bootlicker album and had Kevin Rutmanis on bass for this run. The set list is heavy on songs from this era but some old school chestnuts thrown in and their always stellar cover of The Wipers 'Youth Of America'.
As per usual with the Melvins there is not much stage banter. But at the end Buzz spends a nice long time talking to the crowd, saying Boulder is one of the 3 points of the Bermuda Triangle of hippies (the other two being Eugene OR and San Francisco CA), talking shit about Ozzy using a teleprompter, good stuff.
The set closes with a killer 14 minute long version of Eye Flys and then Dale taunts the crowd for another 5 minutes of occasional drum pounding. Ah the Melvins.
Enjoy.
