Mike Watt and the Missingmen- Bottom of the Hill, San Francisco 12/30/21 4K UHD The Minutemen

Brian McKenna and I came from Sac for this show. We left at 5 and we hit a couple of places on the way there, thinking we had plenty of time to get to B.O.T.H. to see Watt. We pulled up to the club at 8:55, and after the temp check, ID check and Vax check, Watt was already on stage- they were so good (and sounded so good), it was a bit shocking. I have seen Watt so many times over the years and this was probably one of the best, if not the best, performances I have ever seen. Still kicking ass at 64 years old. Well done!

Mike Watt + the Missingmen – Old Ironsides, Sacramento 3/3/17 LIVE Multicam w/Schoeps Audio

It has been a LONG time since I had seen Watt do his thing. I filmed firehose at least 4 or 5 times in the late 80s/early 90s, then saw their last show in San Pedro in 1993… then saw him with the star-studded cast at The Palace in 1995… and that was the last time I think. So this was the first time seeing Watt in almost 22 years. Brian McKenna is going to kick my ass for that when he sees me next. Anyway, the show was great, Watt put me in a headlock while I was buying a shirt, and Old I is a HARD place to multicam from. Sorry for the fan in the one angle. It annoys the hell out of me. And in theory, the gopro would have been perfect since the drummer is pointed in that direction but it is also watt’s normal stage position so not so much. Hope you can enjoy it in all of its imperfect glory. Thanks to Jim Mclain for the ceiling mounted angle, thanks to Jason Ellis for the audio recording, and thanks to Agelos for the edit.
