The JESUS LIZARD setlist 7/14/09 + pic
Wow o Wow, David Yow! THE JESUS LIZARD at Lollapalooza was a memorable show to attend when I was a scrawny 75lb Fourteen year old. I don’t recall specifics from their set, except that Yow manhandled me a few times and let me scream into the microphone. I told him this story last night and his response was “Did you know we toured with Bush? You know them? Can you believe that?”
Two friends and I drove to Nashville on Tuesday to see The JESUS LIZARD’s first US show in over 10 years. With festival slots announced and club dates starting to pop-up for the Fall, The Jesus Lizard will reclaim their notoriety for intense and confrontational live shows. David Yow relentlessly ‘swam’ over the crowd and was unstoppable the entire time; you forget he is 48 years old. The band, consisting of all original members, played 21 songs in about an hour and 30 minutes, including the four-song encore. To top off the night, the very humble and appreciative band drank and socialized with patrons at the Goldrush Bar, across the street from the venue, EXIT/IN. I am genuinely looking forward to their Fun Fun Fun Fest appearance, later this year in Austin.

Note: There was a crew of bros taping, (stage right, rear of stage, center balcony and two on each side of the crowd). Hopefully the show will be released on DVD in the future; for those who cannot wait, I will upload a video or two from the show soon. I filmed about an hour’s worth of the set from the staircase (stage right).
