I haven't seen Jay perform live yet, but am extremely anxious for tomorrow night in S.F. I just picked up Singles 06-07 today and it sounds great. Otherwise, I've been very into Blood Visions, the ep's, and all the singles so far released on Matador.
What can I expect for length of set?
Will it include any of these new singles?
Is the pace always blistering fast (consistent with the dvd/pitchfork.tv)?
If there are any reviews from fans who were at Pitchfork Festival or any shows on this recent tour, please provide a link.
Thank you.

1. Shorter than my penis.
2. Plenty of 14 year old - and 35 year old + singles at the show.
3. You will get blistered.
-
You can expect a very bad and boring show. It won't be anything like the records. All melodies have been zapped from the live set in favor of sloppy speed. I wouldn't even go if I were you. I've already made the mistake twice.
-
remember not to bump into him either or you will recieve a flying-v attack.

If the last tour with The Black Keys is any indication, I would expect a short, fast set that included new material. Who knows?
-
Right. I heard about his support performance for The Black Keys, which is why I hoped somebody had seen a recent headlining gig.
Here's to hoping that ADM is hung like a yack.

I heard he's also playing tonight in SF at the Rickshaw. Can anyone verify this?
-
good looking girls, crowded house, lot of stupid idiots you wanna punch in the face (and if you dont, jay does) & the songs wont really sound like they do on record cos they play so fast/simply.
but definitely go anyway if you can get in. i would.
-
anybody notice if the Jay Reatard/Deerhunter split was on the merch table?
-
I heard he was selling it for $10 in Chicago.
-
Expect lots of hot chicks, lots of lookie loos/weekend rockers.....regarding the set, the songs are pretty much ruined by the extreme speed which kills the melodies and dynamics. pretty short set too and kinda metallic/modern rock soundin in spots.
Just keep drinkin, that's what i did.
-
Been once (last October) and was a little disappointed, though I might've caught an off night. A few of my friends who have seen him multiple times, including people who were at the same show as me, say other shows have been much better.
-
i tarveled 40+ hours (with a boat) to sweden to see it so it would be really dumb for me to say "dont bother to go, its not worth it" if its in your home town. of fucking course you go.
-

This shot defines one of the best live show moments of my life. Please tell me this is you being straddled.

If you(?) were injured during this event, I am not at all deeply sorry for sitting six inches away and fist-pumping with a shit-eating grin on my face.
-
I really want to thank you guys for lowering my expectations. That said, I was pretty much floored by how awesome the show was last night. I mean, I understand the perspective of songs feeling rushed and therefore maybe not as enjoyable, if you were hoping for a different experience or something. But I gotta say, once settled into what was happening, I found myself really spazzing the fuck out to an amazing set of songs.
It really wasn't until the 3rd or 4th track in: Oh, It's Such A Shame. About halfway through it clicked and I was like ohhh fuck i get this! and perhaps credit is really due to the song itself and how it's still rockin while slower on Singles 06-07, a favorite of mine on BV, but totally compatible with the furious pace that it's being played live. Once that hit home, I was set-up to hang in and get off on the rest of the set.
I'm pretty sure the one that followed was Waiting for Something which just fucking blew me away. And I wasn't alone b/c by that time the pit had formed nicely and kids were throwin down.
Other notable highlights: My Shadow, Not a Substitute, Nightmares, Turning Blue, See/Saw, Always Wanting More, Let It All Go (+ the ending/interlude segue of noisy looping insanity for a couple minutes while we waited), and Jay going off at the end of Death Is Forming (another one of my favorites off of BV and when it started I sorta wished it was being played at recorded speed until the end when he went nuts and I was glad).
I guess I just appreciate the testament to these songs is their ability to withstand a fury of two to three times normalcy. All in all it had to be 45 minutes or so of sick shit. I mean come on. That guitar work alone.
Somebody really needs to record these gigs. But I'd really just love a set-list if anyone has it.
Anyway, afterwards I got to tell the bassist (Billy?) that he sounded amazing while I picked up the See/Saw and Painted Shut singles plus a t-shirt for 25 clams.
Fucking awesome show. As I write this I'm wondering if it was actually as good as it is in my head today, but goddamn I'm glad I went.
/wounded no more

I really enjoyed the Jay portion @ the Independent. It was 30 mins high energy rock n roll. Larger venue's are not my fav, but this worked out good. It was very much like an arena show. There was fog, lightshow and moshers. I say A++ to Reatard.
also picked up the TERROR VISIONS single.... holy shit in 2 minutes.

Nope not me. like i wrote ATTACKED WITH A FLYING V FOR BUMPING INTO REATARD.
ya know, like cracked over a dude's skull (again, not my skull).
All said and done, fist pump away senorita pebbles.
-
glad you liked it, termbo formerly known as "wounded"!
-
regarding the set, the songs are pretty much ruined by the extreme speed which kills the melodies and dynamics.
I've seen, recorded and consequently listened to live Jay far more than his records, so the effect is particularly opposite for me. I'm used to and like the live sound, and these records put out afterwards are like neat little surreal versions.
-
thanks terminal bo diddles!
i forgot to mention Hammer, I Miss You in my list of highlights earlier. i'd definitely like to hear that live version again.
took this with my cell haha

-
You obviously don't know what the fuck you are talking about.
-
it's true. i definitely rambled like a school girl earlier and apologize for that and that alone.
-
The best thing Jay ever did was Bad Times.
-
Nah, Bad Times are the best thing Louie ever did. Reatards was Jay's best.
-
Nah, Bad Times are the best thing Louie ever did. Reatards was Jay's best.
thats right.
-
thats a cool cell phone picture dude
-
yeah thanks. it came out pretty well considering people were bouncing everywhere.
so i'm trying to think of another band/artist that has presented songs in three different speeds like this and am coming up blank.
singles they're medium to fast
blood visions they're fast
live they're flying
i don't know. seems pretty unique to me.
-
Yeah, Ramones got faster as they went along. Especially after CJ joined. Good call!
-
Faster is not always better...that Ramones clip sounded like guano. Super fast works for certain stuff, mainly HC...usually playing ultra-fast just kills melodies and any kind of dynamics a song has....all in favor for pure velocity.
Velocity doesn't equal ferocity.
-
^that is true
been thinking this a lot...and id say THE PERSUADERS was louies best.
-
word on the street is that termbo's very own popcon bought five jay reatard t-shirts at last night's show--dude layered himself w/ the set, started a mosh pit and pogo'd in place during an exquisitely frenetic rendition of "don't let him come back".
truth?
-
Not only that, I then went home and fell asleep masturbating to the image of the bass player's hair.
Guess you heard about what a rousing show it was for us. And what was up with the Cheap Time people not helping out Jay Reatard out at the merch table? Stay classy, Cheap Time!!
-
Does he ever play "It's So Useless" live?
-
Speaking of shirts, did anyone see that yellow knife-to-the-neck shirt that sold on eBay for 30 dollars? Doesn't he still sell those at shows? He did when I saw him. Ridic.
-
They're letting Jason Gelt actually write live music reviews: I suppose page 2 of the Times entertainment section is pretty good for Jay...
http://www.latimes.com/theguide/music/la-et-reatard1-2008aug01,0,5454515.story
-
I just saw him live july 17th or so and he did pretty good. My only complaint is that in some songs like blood visions he half huffed out the words, also the vocals could have been louder. I loved how he ended the set with 10 seconds of feedback.
-
anybody crying about Jay Reatard's live show being too fast or too short or whatever is turdlife
you should probably stick to the GARAGEFEST SHOCKARAMA NITRO POWERED DILDOS or CAT POWER or something

first in-studio radio session (Live at University of Minnesota):
http://radiok.cce.umn.edu/multimedia/audio/jayreatard/
-
Seen him once and it was god awful, just doesn't seem like he even wants to be there. Seems like he just wants to play as fast as possible then get paid. After seeing live footage and hearing all the crazy stories about the Reatards it was the most dissapointing thing I have ever seen. And of course, he's a total pussy now, if you touch him on stage expect to get hit in the face, don't pay attention to the fact he was in the Reatards and would do himself more bodily harm than anyone in the audience could. Expect a much more bloated, much faster, much more DISSAPOINTING, and much more "indie" rock version of the lead singer of the Reatards.
-
Can't remember who said this:
"Jay Reatard and his band look like a bunch of hipster grandmas."
-

HA
Don't be so judgmental, I was merchin' Cheap Time stuff in SF, not my fault nobody was there to sell Jay's. Had to yell to like 20 people over the music, "I AM NOT SELLING THOSE THINGS. NO. DO YOU WANT A CHEAP TIME LP??? WAIT COME BACK"

so he's a pussy cause if you touch him on stage he's gonna touch you back

touching as in some guy getting pushed by the crowd and breaking Jay Reatard's guitar cable on accident, then getting a flying V right in his neck. if you're in a punk band maybe you should expect to have shit go wrong. now if someone threw a swing at him, i can see why he'd want to fight, but an accident? come on.
-
maybe he's tired of lame assholes fucking up his shit.

i mean, even i wanna punch that turd.
-
"tell 'em steve-dave"
"fuck you fanboy!"
-
it seems like he only picks on wimps, wish i could go a couple rounds with this guy.

i am really really into posting danzig pics on this thing. but you're forgetting another steroid fueled front man

you know you love it
-
I think Jay has a bit more of a cheeseburger problem than a steroid problem...
Sometimes a wee bit doughy, yeah??
Cheeseburger rage is flooding the scene
-
persuaders was louie's best
first reatards single and lp were jay's best

I think If I lived as close to Payne BBQ as Jay does I would probably weigh about 300 pounds by now.
Super excited to see Jay with the Cola Freaks tomorrow
-
don't know if he's doing a feelgood tour but when i saw him telling some dude to get up on stage, i was expecting another right hook. alas...
