Massive props to Tom Watson (of the criminally ignored Slovenly) for actually chaneling D.Boon. I mean his voice has the same damn accent and intonation...not mention his guitat playing
Tom Watson originally was the main writer for Toxic Shock (an amazing South Bay Band) which morphed into Slovenly. Tom is very underrated and under appreciated.

What's so fantastic is that this is still relevant and cutting edge today; nothing comes close to what the MINUTEMEN created... Even more fascinating, if you're just listening and not watching you'd swear it's D. Boon.
They played a Black Flag show unannounced, in Denver, at the Rainbow Music Hall. At the end of the set mike said “Thanks, we’re the Minutemen” as they walked off stage. For me it was life changing, the next day I bought Buzz.
This old school rhymin' & spiellin' fan really enjoyed the hell out of that. Been listening to these tunes since around 1984 when I was in the 4th grade. I met Mike Watt back in 1993 before & after a fIREHOSE show in Baton Rouge. Such a cool & genuine dude, and it warms my heart watching him having such a great time playing these old Minutemen tunes. Much peace & love, y'all...God bless!
"hyphenated-man" is one of the last great albums of FOR EVER. Just listened (and have seen Missing Men 4-5 times): this set simply crushes. Rawl and Tom are true disciples of the three way and have the Minutemen soul. God bless, Mike Watt. (oh yeah, mind blown by Minutemen in 1983 & 1985)
I find the on-stage-camera view to be an enjoyable way to watch their set. Very well done. So much more interesting looking than the usual crowd view we usually see on live footage.
Great and Timely recording. I like the lead in spiel as well, starts to set the conext. By the way Track 5... Joe McCarthy's ghost. (whch by the way is alive and well).
Who is the drummer? He does such a perfect Hurley impression, hes even got the hair flip down on top of the drums! I cant believe how good everyone is, spot on.
Anyone know the story as to why Watt's playing a Rickenbacker here? That was not the norm from this era of shows (from what I remember) and never part of the rotation. I'm thinking there was an issue and this was a back up / borrowed bass for the show? If anyone has info, pleaae post.
Love Mike Watt and saw him on this tour, but overall I wonder: Why has he largely ignored his solo stuff over the past year? Including in late 2018 when I saw him? Why has he completely ignored the incredible fIREHOSE catalog? I guess he feels like Minutemen catalog is closer to his heart and his legacy. I disagree.
I asked Watt when I saw this band play a couple years ago in Pedro (two shows the same day!) about not doing fIREHOSE tunes, and all he said of those tunes was that "my fingers just don't work that way any more." Wasn't sure what he meant by that.
@@treblemaker69 Thanks so much for that response. That response rings true in that weird Watt way. You think he was saying the fIREHOSE tunes were too difficult? I doubt it. I think that was his odd way of saying that his brain does not want to play those songs and his brain is attached to those fingers. I know that the brief fIREHOSE reunion was lackluster and I think it turned him off to the astounding catalog of songs that should see the light of day. Well, I guess they do see the light because they're playing on my stereo right now.
the bass guitar is always hard to hear. crank the volume on the bass ! edit I can hear the vocals, guitar and drums. bass player is working his ass off and you would never know it.
S.R Woodward yeah - i basically agree with you about the warm fuzzy rickenbacker sound lacking a bit on the low end compared to fender . Geddy Lee from rush had the same problem --- but its all good --- its amazing how each guitar has its own personality --- its fun to explore all the possibilities --- rather than intentionally do the same thing over and over --- just to not piss off fans with limited imaginations. punk to me is breaking all the rules --- for that matter so is jazz . so you can still go play bass with yer face ! ✌😃 (like jimi hendrix)
S.R Woodward check out the minutemen album : The Punch Line. aint sure if its a rickenbacker - but its got that trebley fuzz bass tone that works great with fast bizzy bass lines... super deep bass tone tends to mostly work better with slower tempos like dub .
Massive props to Tom Watson (of the criminally ignored Slovenly) for actually chaneling D.Boon. I mean his voice has the same damn accent and intonation...not mention his guitat playing
Indeed
"Space MAY-surer". He's doing a great job.
IAmTheBestMang hahaha! Me and my buddy always cracked up on that. A space Myasurer

No his voice is nothing like D.'s, which is disappointing..

But it's also nice that Watt retired the band name. Minutemen died with d.
What a huge influence in my life and he's still doing it after all of these years.!What an inspiration!!!
They played a Black Flag show unannounced, in Denver, at the Rainbow Music Hall. At the end of the set mike said “Thanks, we’re the Minutemen” as they walked off stage. For me it was life changing, the next day I bought Buzz.
So great to hear Mike play these songs again.
awesome! Tom Watson, the guitarist, was in the awesome band slovenly, a highly underrated SST band. Thinking of Empire is their greatest album.
Makes me feel like im in my 20s again

fantastic setlist
instrumental is called JUNE 16th from DOUBLE NICKLES
These guys are great!
Great and Timely recording. I like the lead in spiel as well, starts to set the conext.
By the way Track 5... Joe McCarthy's ghost. (whch by the way is alive and well).
This is INCREDIBLE. Thanks.
26:04 "Space MAY-surer" Goddamn that's perfect.
Pure poetry in motion! Great show.
thank you soooooooo much!
Paranoid time unfortunately timeless. Could use D's voice and perspective today.
This is outstanding, thank you.
This popped up in my feed and I had to watch in its entirety. Such a wonderful spirit to this set. Cheers to Mike, Tom and Raoul for pulling this off.
I can't categorise this. But it's great.
great stuff. going to see them in Seattle soon
Excellent! Thanks for this.
party with me punker! the radness!!
This is fucking fantastic music. Go Pedro
Faaaantastic
Who is the drummer?
He does such a perfect Hurley impression, hes even got the hair flip down on top of the drums!
I cant believe how good everyone is, spot on.
Raul Morales
Just noting that "Self-Referenced" is between "Dream Told By Moto" and "I Felt Like A Gringo".
This is fucking tremendous ! Ⓜ️Ⓜ️♻️❌⭕️❌⭕️
Best fake contest ever

If anyone has info, pleaae post.
Mike Watt lays a foundtion you can build a city on! So far out......This is the white side of the internet fo sho!!!!
White side?
opposite side of thee
'dark-web' at least !
@@MrJadePinwheel wouldn't you just have loved to draw a racist conclusion, hmm?
24:10 political song for michael jackson to sing

Also, if you want to clear a room fast, Mike music will clear pesky house guests in minutes
When do we get the encore? :)
Not sure if I was at this show. what was the date?
4:43 cute blonde in front. She's adjusting her ear plugs and that is smart. You don't want Watt's bass blowing out your ear drums. Not good.
the bass guitar is always hard to hear.
crank the volume on the bass !
edit I can hear the vocals, guitar and drums.
bass player is working his ass off and you would never know it.
rickenbacker!!!
I'm not Crazy about the Rick tone. Like on Glory of man at 25:35 that rubbery fender sound is replaced by fuzzed out broken speaker sound to me
S.R Woodward
go play bass with yer face !
@@jowlorenz9555 I love Watt and had all the mmen and hose albums. Just not used to such a tone from him
S.R Woodward
yeah - i basically agree with you about the warm fuzzy rickenbacker sound lacking a bit on the low end compared to fender .

check out the minutemen album :

aint sure if its a rickenbacker - but its got that trebley fuzz bass tone that works great with fast bizzy bass lines... super deep bass tone tends to mostly work better with slower tempos like dub .
