FEEDBACK : MEMBERS OF MORPHINE 05.28.10




MEMBERS OF MORPHINE

aka

THE [ever expanding] ELASTIC WASTE BAND

@ THE MAGIC BAG

May 28, 2010

pretty skeptical going into this show. wondering how this would be without the late great Mark Sandman... and it was quite enjoyable. it took the crowd a few songs to really start feeling the vibe. 2/3 of their set were morphine jams and the other third was new originals [and perhaps a cover?]. Dana Colley and Jerome Dupree were quite comfortable jamming the old tunes with Jeremy Lyons. Dana made sure to give Mark his due credit after every morphine tune they played. the EWB material was good and it fit inside the morphine set. i would recommend any fan of morphine to check out this lineup. i will tell you one thing though. the magic bag SUCKS. i have been to about 500 shows spanning over a decade and a half, and i rate this venue with the bottom-of-the-barrel. notoriously bad sound. [luckily the band brought their own engineer on tour] totally over-staffed. and it seemed like everyone who works there had an ice pick shoved in their rectum.

setlist:

[i'm not sure of the names of the EWB tunes so i'm just going to put 'EWB song' instead of the title. if anyone has the info please contact me and i will update the setlist]

have a lucky day
