            Philadelphia Psych-Rockers Dr. Dog just absolutely killed at the Pool. Their most recent release “Easy Beat” is required listening for anyone into Beefheart (see below) influenced rock (in fact, it’s easily on of the best 5 albums I’ve heard so far this year). Live the band takes their already impressive catalog of songs make them even better by ratcheting up the intensity complete with foot stomps & hand claps. The whole set was excellent but “Fools Life” particularly stood out with its blotto vocals & spiraling carnivalesque conclusion. Dr. Dog kept things interesting throughout even joking about the people who had opted to play dodge ball in the rain on the other side of the pool rather than watch the show. By the time the band walked off after the campfire sing-along choruses of “Wake Up”. The soaked but cheerful crowd could only cheer for an encore. It’d be great to see these guys on a bill with Man Man (another excellent Philly band). Watch & Listen: Dr. Dog Ed’s Note: If somehow you’ve never listened to or are unfamiliar with Captain Beefheart, his live album “I'm Going to Do What I Wanna Do: Live at My Father's Place 1978” is f-ing essential!!

       McCarren Pool was the perfect setting for a typically awesome show by one of the best live rock bands NYC has ever produced. Related Posts 01-09 Yeah Yeah Yeahs @ Hammerstein Ballroom Labels: McCarren Pool, Yeah Yeah Yeahs glad these great shots are not paired with pics from the sonic youth set, opening up yet another unecessary debate. Not surprisingly, other blogs (ok the vegetarian one esp.)are filled with all types of pro sy, and anti yyy spewings, set off by supposedly misleading headliner info. All the complaints from sy fans is probably a lot more whine, whine, whining , than that from the actual bands, when it was suggested to them they alternate opening for eachother. It was fair and fun enough for everyone. Enough said.
