Movie Review: Mould's Stellar Set List Shines - Review by Raindog's Rants (http://raindog.jasonarena.com)
Summary: 5 Stars
So, late last year Bob Mould released a DVD entitled Circle of Friends - Live at the 9:30 Club. I've stopped buying music dvds for the simple fact that, even if I absolutely love the artist who put out the disc, I'll watch it once or twice and then it gets shelved. But I really wanted to see this concert. Thank god for Netflix. I queued that motherf*cker up and a day later...BAM! Bob Mould in concert. So how is it? Well,...after finishing the disc, I immediately went online to check out Mould live dates and a day later I watched it again. It is a must for any Bob Mould fan.
The songs: All the eras are covered in the show. That's correct. ALL eras. Hüsker Dü material has more than just a foothold in the set list. It is an amazing set list punched up by a great backing band. My favorite Bob Mould record is Sugar's Copper Blue...come to think of it...it is one of my favorite records period. The first time I heard it I was completely floored by the album's cohesiveness -thematically and musically- and its ferocity. It just doesn't let up. The one acoustic track, If I Can't Change Your Mind, is just as fierce. So you can imagine my delight when he opened the set with three tracks from the record. All in all, seven of the ten songs from Copper Blue are in the show. His 2005 record, Body of Song gets the same treatment and holds up well with Mould's older and arguably more popular stuff. If I could have written the set list, it would have been very similar to what they played.

"The Act We Act" (Sugar, Copper Blue)

"Best Thing" (Bob Mould, Body of Song)
"Celebrated Summer" (Hüsker Dü, New Day Rising)

The band: They are so good, I officially never want to see Bob Mould play acoustic/solo shows again. This is the way his material should be presented- loud and full of energy. I know Mould has aspirations beyond the genre, namely through Blowoff, LoudBomb and his Modulate record. But I can't comment on it becuase I'm not a fan of the genre and don't know squat about it. I don't care for it. That stuff is like a mistress I know only through word-of-mouth but I hope won't take him away from the indie rock Bob I love other than a few nights a month. I'll turn a blind eye. He can have his cake and eat it too as far as I'm concerned. But I digress. Um...Brendan Canty on drums. Brendan Canty. Fugazi. Ok,...moving on... Jason Narducy (bass, backing vocals) has been kicking around the midwest showing up with Robert Pollard now and again. That's pretty much all I knew about him before seeing this show. His harmonies with Mould are a major reason the show is such a success. Usually singing the high end, Narducy sings with a comfort like he's been playing with Mould for twenty years. Rich Morel (keyboards, backing vocals), Bob's collaborator in the mistress genre, is great at the rock thing too. Much of the Sugar stuff had keys throughout and Morel does a great job with the material.
The Bob: It is nice to see Bob look excited to crank it up. I'm serious. This show has ruined me. I never want to see Mould solo/acoustic again. His voice took a few songs to warm up, but by Hoover Dam all is right and Mould is playing with the melody and pushing his voice further and further. Bob sounds revitalized. Renewed. Reinvigorated. Inspired. I'm not worried the show was recorded two years ago. His latest LP, District Line, is teeming with the same passion.
