For the last six months The Onion’s A.V. Club has invited 25 bands to stop by their Chicago office to take part in their A.V. Undercover series, where 25 different songs were chosen and once a song was performed it was crossed off the list till they were all done. With just four songs remaining The Swell Season took on the tall task of covering Neutral Milk Hotel’s Two-Headed Boy. READ ON to check out the results…
Alkaline Trio, Andrew W.K., Face to Face, The Casualties, Pennywise, Attack Attack, Four Year Strong, Mayday Parade, We The Kings, NeverShoutNever, Reel Big Fish, Alesana, and Left Alone are among the bands that played at this years Warped Tour. To the disappointment of the crowd, Sum 41 did not play. The lead singer, Deryck Whibley, was reportedly sick. However a few members of the band were later spotted by fans enjoying the performance of Alkaline Trio, the last band to play.
While "Trouble" celebrated being saved by a woman, Ray LaMontagne's God Willin' kicks that no good lyin' lady to the curb. But it doesn't take long for this pariah dog to beg her back, let her go again, then finally stroll on toward the sunset, head held high.

Hot on the heels of an all-around smoker last night, Phish returns to Alpine Valley for the final Midwest gig of the summer. We’ll have John Schulze’s review and photo set from Night One up soon, but for me the highlights were a tight Fuck Your Face, a ridiculous Down With Disease that contained three distinct jams before seguing into the rare instrumental What’s The Use?, the Sallypaug and a funky cover of Quinn The Eskimo.
Justin Wendt from Oh Kee Pah Blog will be reporting live from the show for @YEMblog. You can also follow the action at PhishTwit and through JamBase/Phish. READ ON for the setlist once the show begins…
Phish Summer 2010 moved on to Alpine Valley for the first of two shows in East Troy, WI. Phish first played the massive shed in 1996 and have returned on
Phish returned to Deer Creek for the second of two shows at the site of many special evenings in Phish history. Night two was a much more cohesive affair featuring two sets filled with numerous highlights.
The Chalk Dust opener gave the band a chance to find their footing early. Instead of guitarist Trey Anastasio ripping through a solo the jam was more of a conversation with Mike, Page and Fish each adding interesting accents. Guelah Papyrus made its 2010 debut and was nailed unlike many of the songs in the previous night’s opening stanza. My Sweet One, Axilla and I Didn’t Know found their way to the stage for the first time this tour before Walls of the Cave returned after being shelved since Coventry.
- Phish: Deer Creek Night One
Walls of the Cave didn’t get much of a reaction from the crowd on a night when the audience gave the band lots of love. Phish clearly practiced the complex tune and did a good job moving through each of the parts. Stash seemed shorter than usual and didn’t get too far out there. A pretty Train Song followed and perfunctory versions of Backwards Down the Number Kine and Ocelot came next. Lynyrd Skynyrd’s The Ballad of Curtis Loew continues its comeback and might now be a full fledged “once a tour” part of the repertoire. I can’t imagine ever getting sick of hearing Page sing the tune and Trey rip up the solo. Wilson and Possum ended a solid set and both whipped the crowd into a frenzy.
