Green River - This Town - SP20 Festival - 20080713

[horseytown]

Is that Bruce Fairweather in the cowboy hat? The intro is cut off and all I heard was Ament's name listed as being from Deranged Diction. I always felt sorta bad for Fairweather. He knew Ament from Montana, he was in Green River and then Mother Love Bone, both of which fell apart. GR broke two ways becoming the hugely popular Mudhoney and (eventually) Pearl Jam, while he ended up in the criminally overlooked Love Battery. He then got to witness LB's drummer jump ship for the lucrative POTUSA.

@horseytown - yep, that is Bruce. Nice synopsis, I also think very highly of Mudhoney!

[PKTrekGirl]

Amusing that they introduce Jeff and Stone only by reference to their bands prior to the formation of Green River, with no reference at all made to Pearl Jam..or even to Mother Love Bone.

[severedhand2727]

@PKTrekGirl . . . i don't think Mark mentioned Mudhoney either.

[PKTrekGirl]

@severedhand2727 Oh, I know. But I'm not really a Mark Arm fan, so that didn't amuse me as much. LOL

[h879xx]

Damn this looks fuckin awesome. Love Green river.

[AntiProUltra]

mark arm's looking pretty sprightly (and thin) for a middle aged guy. if the whole music schtick doesn't work out for him he could get into the diet'n'exercise industry

[Furthest1]

i love that mark introduces them like he thinks its 1986 or something. doesnt even mention that stone and jeff are in pearl jam, the biggest rock band of the last decade, or that hes in mudhoney, but actually mentions fucking mr epp. anyway this performance is epic, its incredible how marks voice sounds the same as it did on the album from over twenty years ago. im praying to God that they tour a little so i can have a chance to see this all in person.

[gorey12289]

i would have killed to have been at that,

especially for this song!

[nave890]

[gnarlene]

I was there right in front. It was very cool. My friend Jerry got a green river t shirt and a set list and we got our picture in the Seattle times rockin to Mudhoney on my birthday. Fun times.

[nowave1139]

thanks alot man, do you have the rest of the concert?

[severedhand2727]

No, sorry, just these four songs. I hope they release an official bootleg or DVD. They seemed to have an army filming their performance.

[hbomb65]

Alex and I were in Spluii Numa, this is so cool to see!

[weetman14]

Did Spluii ever record? Totally remember you guys opening Suicidal Tendencies at the Odd Fellows, plus several times at The Met.

[impiboy]
