I got my skate board stuck at this event many years ago, then again a Butt Hole Surfer wont be found in the Virgin Islands, no they are only found at Butt Hole beach, out by Galveston Bay, That is where the homeless kids from Austin now hang, and sand Castile their life on the beach, good to have you old Butt Holes back...A.T,.... BEACH BUM from the 1980s.

Uhh, site says doors at 7, show starts at 8.

Entirely expect the other couple of bands to open. Would be nice if someone who actually knows wtf is going on would chime in, though.

I'm ashamed to say that was my first time at the Granada.

However, I regret to report I couldn't understand a damn thing that was said. Granted, I was in the front...but even when I grabbed a beer at the rear bar I had no idea what was going on with vocals. So, I had no choice but to join what mosh pit there was.

Pretty decent time down there, but again...no clue what was actually being communicated. Hopefully it was just the roadies and not the venue, because if I'm that disappointed again I'll never go back.

Doyle..my best bet is that the Grenada is not the best venue for a group like the Butthole Surfers. I would still like to see them perform at the Band Shell in Fair park, sand the rain, cops in riot gear and the tear gas after the show that never happened.

Scott - you should be ashamed! Granada is a Dallas institution (I think in every format of entertainment venue it's been).

I did not go to this concert, but I think I'd have to believe it had to do with this particular concert, because every other time I've been there it's been great - as evidenced by the myriads of awards it's received over the last couple of years.

Meh, I'm not writing it off until I see at least another show. Definitely like the place. And I'm relatively sure I don't fail at hearing as I've been to many a concert without issue.

Couldn't hear a damn thing of what was going on. Maybe my ears are broken, but it pretty much sounded like a wall of noise.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you. Great show, and a pretty good pit.

Anybody grab the rest of the setlist?

One dude literally did after the show...in Lambeau Leap fashion. Roadie who was clearing the stage yelled to a bouncer and pointed at the hustling scofflaw, but I didn't see whether he eventually got taken down.

Oh, another interesting thing was this chick who randomly passed out and bonked her head on the souvenir table before hitting the floor. Literally just like a narcoleptic person you see in movies...no idea whether that explains her incident, but it was quite odd.

She came to and some dudes got her back on her feet, but she just sat down on the floor again. Eventually they helped her out the door and I didn't see her the rest of the night - relatively concerned those guys weren't with her, but hopefully so and she's OK.

I have yet to hear about the quality of narcotics or the naked women at the show...what gives?

There were definitely some herb-loving peeps near the stage at the beginning.

Don't recall any female nudity, then again I spent majority of the show crashing into other people...the one shirtless dude moshing is about it. Some chick kept getting pissy because she was dumb enough to stand next to the pit and whine whenever someone came crashing towards her. Luckily her heavy-set b/f is pragmatic and told her to stfu as they moved.

If the bouncer monitoring the pit is reading, you're a good man. I'm not saying this because I saw you literally manhandle another person...kept the pit fun and void of douchebaggery.
