| Alkaline Trio / the Lawrence Armslive in Seattle2006 live show  Review by: damnitsderek See others by this writer Only registered users can post comments

First and foremost, I acknowledge the fact that this is an Alkaline Trio tour and the other bands are supporting bands and not headlining acts. This does not change the fact that the Lawrence Arms are my favorite band and particularly the main reason in my going to this show, though I do like Alkaline Trio and the Draft as well.

they do random covers in the bridges on songs live, just look at turnstiles (hot water music's turnstile). they also do "every little thing she does is magic" on another the bridge in porno and snuff films sounded like this: "yeah i dont know if this was already posted but the lawrence arms didnt open with "hesitation station", it was "presenting the dancing machine" and the bridge in "porno and snuff films" wasnt their warped tour song, it was some country song, im going to guess possibly toby keith or someshit." "It is nice to see a review from someone who doesn't love (or even appear to know) the Draft because of HWM. "The review made me want to go to the show, and gave me a brief statement about what I missed" I was at the Portland show too and I really liked the Larry Arms set. Last time I saw em there were only a couple songs off Oh!Calcutta! (this was pre-release) so it was neat just for that. the first alkaline trio show in chicago with against me! there was no radio played...happily might I add...they closed with an almosat undeniably better and more legendary song in 97. yeah i dont know if this was already posted but the lawrence arms didnt open with "hesitation station", it was "presenting the dancing machine" and the bridge in "porno and snuff films" wasnt their warped tour song, it was some country song, im going to guess possibly toby keith or someshit. Man I was gonna post a comment saying how jealous I was by the fact they opened up with Hesitation Station....shame they didn't, it would be an awesome opener It is nice to see a review from someone who doesn't love (or even appear to know) the Draft because of HWM. This was a fucking good show. Well worth the $$$. At the Toronto show a bunch of Alkaline Trio fans camped out as close to the stage as you could get for all three bands. It was really fucking annoying. After the first Larry Arms song some Alk3 fan at the front, "stop pushing", some other guy, "its called moshing" . . . I saw this line up a couple weeks ago and it was great - thought I went for the lawrence arms their set was shorter that I would have liked. leave* Okay look. To all you douches who leaves anonymous posts bashing on my review, get over yourselves. I'm not a critic and don't feel the need to go uber-in depth on anything about that show, my goal was to simply explain the set lists and talk about the bands a bit. I got one song wrong, whatever, no excuse for that. But you guys need to get off your poles because that's all it is: a review. "And as per usual, the Vancouver crowd was lame" Stop all the hating for this review. The review made me want to go to the show, and gave me a brief statement about what I missed. I doubt any of the fuckers that were bashing it could do any better. The point of going to a concert is to have fun, not just sitting there writing down what songs were played when and shit like that. This is punknews.org, not some online english class web site. Stop being a bunch of pussies. Cheeres for the review and making me pissed oof that I missed the show. Keep them coming. This show was fucking awesome, but I wish The Lawrence Arms had played some more songs from A&E or Greatest Story. To the anonymous guy below: Way to be the THIRD person to mention that they opened with Dancing Machine. Oh hell yes bitches... two days until I get to see this show, on the last night of the tour! actually, the first song of their set wasnt hesitation station, it was the Dancing Machine from the Uncontrollable Fatulence comp, put that on everything. I honestly can't figure out why people hate this review so much. It seems fine to me. What did he do so wrong? I'm glad that someone else realized that the Lawrence Arms opened with Dancing Machine. Alkaline Trio are boring and I left in the middle of their set for the second time in a row. They used to be sweet and put out good albums. Now they're boring, have shitty fans, and put out shitty albums. "worst tour and review ever." I saw Alkaline Trio a month or so ago. It's a shame I don't remember it. I do remember, however, them saying, "This song is called This Could Be Love" Saw this tour (minus the Draft) in Calgary and Edmonton and the LA played pretty much the identical set to this on both nights (they substituted Rambling Boys of Pleasure as a crowd request at the Calgary show for some other song). I was kinda bummed that they have a tour set list because they have so many amazing songs and seem to be a pretty seat of the pants style of band who could go anywhere with a set. As it was the first time seeing them live, two virtually identical sets concentrating on mainly the fast punk songs was a little bit of a bummer. That being said, they were still really good and had a great response in both cities for their first time in Western Canada. Brendan was really quiet (thanking the crowd a bunch of times between songs) at both shows which seemed to contrast the drunken rambling he usually seems known for on the other show reviews I've read. Speaking of setlists, anyone know what the setlist is for The Lawrence Arms is for their tour with Lagwagon and AWS? Assuming it's already started...which it probably hasn't since this review on this website...so...nevermind...yeah. Fuckers got Mr. Chainsaw! i saw tihs show in portland and i gotta say the arms played a disappointing set. half from calcutta, one song from greatest, one song from apathy, and threw out one in favor of a requested "nebraska" that doesn't work well live. the draft have me really stoked for their album though, they were fuckin rock and roll. the trio was amazing. whats with the larry arms only playing one song off apathy and exhaustion? i mean all their stuff is top notch, but shit...A&E is da bomb! At the Vancouver show, this was the setlist: I didn't even know that the "occult roots" tour was still going on. This review isn't THAT bad, it kind of reminds me of a review someone might write for a ninth grade english assignment, or soemthing like that. Give the kid a break. this review is weak sauce The Toronto Show was amazing, it had a good balance among the bands albums. It had a way better set list then this show. I was at the show and it was the best showing by the Trio out of the previous 3 times I've seen them. This was my dream lineup about 4-5 years ago, now I'm only so so on the Trio and the Larry Arms are probably my favorite band. If only it coulda been HWM too. I won't even go into your setlist though because it is just way off Chris Wollard > this lame review yeah this review is hardcore lame one single member of Hot water music not in the draft, and all of a sudden their nobodys. That's pseudo-fame for you. since when is queen of pain a hot water music cover? Was Hartford the only place that got 97 instead of Radio? I have yet to hear of anywhere else getting 97, and people are always mentioning how they close with Radio. Sorry, I thought my myspace was underneath my username. http://www.myspace.com/motherfuckingjesuschrist I was there... look on my myspace, maybe we saw each other. I was right in front of Brendan the whole time, screaming along with my already-lost voice. fuck. really. really. wish i was there. |
