Above link is the Buzzcocks playing in Farmingdale NY on May 15, 2010

The link is a pretty good approximation of the show that FreeEye2, JMar and I went to see at The Paradise in Boston.  The set list in the picture is from the 5/17/10 Paradise show that we saw.  FreeEye2 got a picture of it just before The Buzzcocks hit the stage.  Right after Orgasm Addict, the last song of the encore, I had to battle some underage girl for it.  It ended up ripping in two and I got the larger piece.  After the show, one of the roadies took the set list off the drum riser and came over and gave it to her. She then gave me the little crumpled-up piece she had beaten me to.

The show was great. What else can I tell you?  You had to be there.  The show was 18+ and sold out.  You can see the set list in the photo above. There was LOT'S of moshing.  Being right up front, at least I could push back off of the stage.  There was even some crowd surfing and the kids were not kicked out, just escorted back into the crowd on the side of the stage.  Thanks to the Paradise stage for keeping things fun, punk rock and not too crazy.  I can link you here though for a real review.

The opening band was The Dollyrots.  They were great!  (Full disclosure, JMar went to high school with Chris, the drummer.)  The songs got the whole crowd moving and Kelly had great stage presence. (More disclosure, Chris got us into the dressing room and Pete Shelley asked me if I was thirsty and got me a Guinness)  Thanks Chris, Kelly and Luis!!!!  And you too JMar!
