Fucking awesome show. Embrace the Kill was great as well and played a very powerful set. But man, Verbal Abuse sounded way better than they did at the Hazmat a few weeks ago. Don’t know how much of that should be chalked up to the sound guy/equipment.
Usually when a band comes on and plays a long set, I start to get tired. Hopeful that every song is their last, I am repeatedly denied my precious dream of being able to go home. (I hate leaving early…)
Fortunately, this wasn’t the case with MDC.
They played a metric shit ton of songs–all the really great ones, of course.–Dead Cops, Corporate Deathburger, Business on Parade, Violent Rednecks, John Wayne Was A Nazi, Chicken Squawk (easily one of my faves), etc. Their set wound up lasting a bit over an hour, I think. I never once felt like leaving. The crowd was there for a great show, and both Verbal Abuse and MDC gave it to them!
