Encore: Into the Drink, Who You Drivin' Now?, Here Comes Sickness, (Hate the Police), Fix Me
Notes: Mudhoney plays the first of two shows with feedtime, of whom Mark wrote, in part,I'm confident that if you like Mudhoney, you will dig feedtime. feedtime were a huge influence on Mudhoney when we started and they remain an integral part of the Mudhoney Universe.Poisoned Water has the new intro where they all hammer on an E chord instead of Steve playing the main riff. Chardonnay is the first of many songs to be restarted. As with the others, Mark asks Dan where to restart it from, and Dan points straight up and says, "From the top!" After the song, Mark says that it's based on a true story. Mark joins Steve on the intro to Here Comes Sickness, and Dan listens to Steve before pointing at him, saying "That's it," and starting the song proper. They get through Hate the Police until where the vocals come in, and switch it out for Fix Me. After that song, Steve wants to return to Hate the Police, Dan wants to finish, and Mark and Guy appear undecided. Since they can't play the song without a drummer, they call it a night.feedtime were scheduled to tour the US in 1989, but they broke up instead. I never got a chance to see them live, but they are coming to the US later this month and I'm stoked that Mudhoney will get to play with them in Portland and Seattle.
3/21/12 The Tractor Tavern. Seattle, WA (85 min)
Attendance: 400
Supported By: feedtime
Set: Poisoned Water, Get into Yours, You Got it, Inside Job, This Gift, F.D.K., Hard-on for War, When Tomorrow Hits/In 'N' Out of Grace, Judgment Rage..., Sweet Young Thing, No One Has, Good Enough, Touch Me I'm Sick, The Open Mind, I'm Now, Next Time, Chardonnay, The Lucky Ones, Tales of Terror (w/A Love Supreme)
Encore: Into the Drink, Who You Drivin' Now?, Here Comes Sickness, Hate the Police, Fix Me
Notes: Mark joins feedtime on slide guitar (his Hagstrom), for the final song of their set. Alex Shumway of Green River, Mudhoney artist and Thrown Ups bandmate Ed Fotheringham, and Supersucker Eddie Spaghetti are in attendance. Ed bursts out in joy when they start You Got it, which is a total ripoff of the Thrown Ups' Bucking Retards. Then, during Touch Me I'm Sick, Ed stage dives - twice. Before Chardonnay, Dan gets Mark to introduce the song with, "This song is about something feedtime would never drink." Mark joins Guy's foray into John Coltrane's A Love Supreme, during the breakdown of Tales of Terror by singing along: "A love supreme! A love supreme!" Tales of Terror is also occasion for Ed's third stage dive of the evening. Since they restart songs so much less tonight than last night - only Chardonnay tonight! - they're able to fit one more song into the same amount of show time.5/20/12 "Nuits Sonores Festival".

Notes: Mudhoney debuts Widow of Nain, a song on which Mark does not play guitar. The song title makes reference to a section of the Bible, where Jesus comes a cross a woman in Nain who's only son has died. Being a widow, she now has no one to support her. Out of sadness for the widow's plight, Jesus raises her son from the dead.5/21/12 Bloom. Mezzago Monza e Brianza, Italy
