PHOTO: STEVE GULLICK | Those of you with sharp memories will recall that it was only just last week when TVD’s Alan Snodgrass chronicled The Jesus and Mary Chain at the Fillmore in San Francisco, writing “…frontman Jim Reid commanded the open stage, a long mic cable wound up and clenched in his hand as he flawlessly belted out classic after classic.”
“’Amputation’ gave way to ‘Happy When It Rains’ which flowed into ‘Head On’ before Reid finally paused to state, ‘We might play a few songs off of our new album.’ …The setlist hit on a handful of tunes from Damage and Joy including new fan favorites ‘All Things Pass’ and ‘Black and Blues.'”
“But that’s not to say that the ample set time didn’t allow room for the rest of the catalog. In fact, the band managed to cover a wide swath of material from all seven of the albums released over their 30+ year career. While The Jesus and Mary Chain have been reactivated for about a decade, Damage and Joy demonstrates that this is no nostalgia act and seeing them live only underscores the depth and relevance of their catalog.”
