WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

New York Dolls Live in Boston 2/16/08

Posted about 1 year ago
Not much of a writer here, but was so blown away at how good the Dolls played last nite in Boston I had to share. I would highly recommend to anyone who even remotely enjoys their music to check them out on their latest tour. I don't remember the exact order of the setlist, but they opened with Puss N Boots, Human Being and closed with Personality Crisis. They played all but 2 off of the first album(vietnamese baby and subway train) and threw in Babylon(a nice surprise), a Janis Joplin cover and 4 or 5 tracks off of their latest album. I did not care much for the latest album, but everything sounded great live. They played with as much energy as most young bands out there and really seemed to be enjoying themselves. All in all it is just a truly great dirty rock n' roll show, and I'll take those whenever I can get em. I picked up a Live CD while I was there they just put out recorded last December. The track posted is from that.

  2. GrittyMcScruff says Actually now that I think of it, it's not a Janis Joplin song, but one she covered, "piece of my heart". I thought it sounded great. I've been on a Dolls kick since the show.

  4. GrittyMcScruff says They played to a packed house at the Paradise. First time I've been there in years, good stuff. I think Axis and Avalon are closing. Haven't seen many show listed there lately.

  5. brittanybf says Yeah they are closing, and I guess House of Blues is moving into the space. I REALLY miss the Paradise!
