'Could you be the one'
Yes indeed. Bob Mould is one of those artists I have kept saying I'd go and see without actually doing so. I did consider it a couple of years back but he was doing an acoustic gig and I wanted to see Bob loud and rocking. His latest album, District Line, seem to indicate that he was back in rocking mode, so I decided to go. Hearing that he was playing some Sugar and Husker Du songs in the set only made the prospect sound even better.
Bob did not disappoint. This was a loud ear tingling gig, the kind you need ever now and again to remind yourself you're alive. Mould himself looked happy to be on stage and whilst keeping the chatter to a couple of random 'thanks' he was full of energy and giving it alll 100%.
As most of my friiends were more interested in the Husker Du and Sugar tracks, I'll say he played Hoover Dam, My Favorite Thing, A Good Idea and If I can't change your mind from the Sugar days, and Makes no sense at all; Divide and Conquer; New day Rising; I Apologise; Chartered Trips and i think at least one other i only half recognised (shame on me) from Husker Du.
Anyway, the set kicked off with the A Good Idea and then we had a set that mixed material from the new album with select classics. Of the new stuff, The silence between us, Stupid now, and Again and Again sounded good.
Highlights: A Good Idea, My Favourite Thing; I Apologise; My Favourite thing; if I can't change my mind and Chartered trips.
