Saw the offspring last night at dos equis in dallas. The show was a lot of fun. The intro was a lot like an nba intro with a fuck you cam, bootie shake cam, and kiss cam. We all know the coldplay punchline to the kiss cam but it still hit pretty well.
They played the hits and had various accessories for songs like giant blow up skeletons, a blimp, giant beach balls, streamer cannons, and a giant video board. The band engaged with the audience quite a bit. It was a lot like a flaming lips show.
The lead singer has lost a step or two with his vocals. He could hit the notes but it wasn’t as powerful as years past. The drummer is new and is fantastic. He did a short solo that was dope. Everyone around me was talking about it.
They did a tip of the cap to ozzy and covered crazy train. That was pretty cool. They followed it with a cover of the ramones. I mean how often do you get to see a guy with bleach blonde hair and a phd in molecular biology do a cover of “i wanna be sedated” with a dude in a gorilla mask running across the stage with a sign that says “I wanna be…”
Fun stuff.
