I never thought I'd ever get the chance to see Dag Nasty play live. So I'm excited to say I will be at PRB in NJ to see my 2 favorite bands (Dag Nasty and Descendents). I'm pretty pumped.
If you see me and feel like saying "Hi", it'd be great to put some faces with names. Here's what I look like:

Saw every band except H20 (sat inside the club during their set to get a break from the sun). I thought Giuda were terrific, liked 88 Fingers Louie and Iron Chic (both got a little 'samey' over the course of their sets) and the Subhumans were excellent at doing something that's just not my thing (I thought they were going to be more Oi-style punk as opposed to hardcore).
I had mixed feelings about Dag. The songs are incredible and the playing is terrific. Brian is easily one of my favorite guitar players and getting to see him and Stephen back to back was a treat. Shawn is such a super affable front man - I never got such a posi-vibe from a Dag show before. Even Brian was totally charming when he talked about playing Asbury and sharing a stage with the Descendents again (he flat out called them his favorite band). But for about half the set I just had the ghost of Dave and Peter's melodies ringing in my ears. Brian and and Roger both did an admirable job with backing vocals, but some of the songs just don't work as well with Shawn (All Ages, the Wig Out tunes they did, Values Here). Like I said, Shawn was totally on point for much of the set, but not all of it.
Descendents were terrific - only bummer was the early curfew. 6 new songs, 3 of which I thought were pretty terrific on first listen (Victim, Shameless Halo and Paper). I think Milo is singing better than ever and the guys are looser and, dare I say, funky than ever (that's pretty frickin' relative, of course). Bill's playing is reaching other levels and Stephen and Karl give as good as they get.
Briefly spoke to the band afterwards. Nothing major other than there will be more shows in the coming months (NYC mentioned specifically), but no mention of a "tour" per se.

Sorry Greg, I wasn't commenting on your post at all. Just passing along the little info I got. Happy to hear there is a Philly show in the works.

Did you go to the Roseland show in '97? That was on my birthday. I actually saw them at the exact same spot a few months after that just outside the Pony on a much smaller stage on Warped Tour that year as well.
Shawn may not have had Smalley's voice, but to me he was and always will be the Dag Nasty singer. Anyone who saw him at those first few shows can tell you that he was incredible. To have his blessing, such as it was, meant more to me than anything else before or since.
