Shellac pics 05-30-2007 Verona, italy
 
uaaah, my first shellac live experience!
Right now I can't provide a decent setlist, I'll think about it and update the post asap. They started off with "A minute" , ended with "Watch song", and they played "Killers"!!! AAAAaaah, I love "killers", I freaked out when they played it. The new material was simply amazing live, I didn't listen to the record (don't want to dl it), the only titles I know are "The end of Radio" and "Paco", looking at tracklists online I think they played almost all the new songs, "Genuine Lulabelle" was wonderful. All in all one of my fav gigs of all times, I was kinda surprised of how I felt genuinely entertained and had great fun throughout the whole show, I supposed it would have been a "harder" experience if you know what I mean.
Me and my friends took the wrong turn on the highway and had to travel 40 kms more, this caused us to get to the venue like 40 minutes later than we thought, and we ended up being in the 5th/6th row in the audience, I had quite a hard time trying to take pics in that sabbath (plus, the lights were a bit too dark, Steve was the only one "properly" lit, his pics came out better), and cell phones should be banned, too many arms with those shiny cells that took pics and videos in the air during the whole set. Oh, they asked, PLEASE, not to record or videotape the show.
Now I'll shut the fuck up, here are the pics, ladies and getlemen, Shellac:

Thanks! :) I'm glad I managed to get a few decent ones.

Yeah, they are very sharp despite the audience and the darkness.

some of those are fuckin beautiful man, what are you talking about!

i particularly like the one of steve where the mic actually looks like some depraved form of breathing apparatus or cannibalism muzzle . .. perfect horror show.

nicfit 05.31.2007 09:43 AM

thanks farmhouse, resizing helps making them look prettier ;)

nomadicfollower 05.31.2007 10:27 AM

What's going on in the first picture?

nicfit 05.31.2007 10:31 AM

Steve and Bob are playing the "front" cymbals, Todd the "rear" one :)

nomadicfollower 05.31.2007 10:33 AM

Hah, simply that is what it appears.
Great pictures by the way.
I've been holding a 'prayer to god' every night that I may soon see Shellac.

nicfit 05.31.2007 10:34 AM

yep, nothing "too" strange, but highly coreographic (and thanks!).

Well done! Among the best pictures (of anything) I've seen on this board.

nicfit 05.31.2007 03:39 PM

thanks lux -
Trainer was a god yesterday. A good looking god, not an old bearded guy kind of god.

Excellent photos, my good buddy. You should be being internationally syndicated.

Rob Instigator 05.31.2007 03:45 PM

I saw them in Houston a year ago and it was amazing.
