Nofx kicked ass!!
Ram’s Head said they were playing at 11:30, so we aimed to get there at 10:30 by leaving at 9:15. Turns out that, as usual, Ram’s Head has no clue what is going on in their own club, and they started playing around 10:50 instead. We barely managed to get our drink on (not counting the 8oz bottle of mixed drink we consumed in the parking lot) before they started playing. Pretty good timing. Their set was closer to 1.5 hrs than 1 hr, and we recognized every song. A couple of them took a thorough search to find the proper title of (Shut Up Already, Linoleum). We were really surprised that Linoleum seemed to be the song the audience knew the most — it certainly wasn’t for us. Would have liked to have heard Vanilla Sex and perhaps more songs from Pump Up The Valuum, but overall, it’s really hard to go wrong with a 17 song setlist. (Unless you’re Ween; Ween plays closer to 30 songs, AND their songs are longer on average; 17 for a Ween show would be a ripoff!)
- 1. Dinosaurs Will Die
- 2. Brews
- 3. Murder The Govt – with alternate lyrics, talking about Bush gagging on Obama’s dick
- Fuck Da Kids – while they flicked off some 10 yr old kid brought by his meathead dad. When the show was over, they sent the guitar into the crowd. The 10 yr old kid returned it, but then NoFX gave it back to the kid and let him keep it for good
- Eat The Meek
- The Moron Brothers
- (Herb Albert cover)
- Bob
- Kill All The White Man
- Linoleum
- Radio (by Rancid)
- Louise
- Quart In Session
- Whoops, I OD’d
- Shut Up Already
- Bottles To The Ground
- last: Theme From A NoFX Album (last song) – and then the guy kept playing the accoridian for like 5 minutes while everyone else left and put away their equipment
The setlist for this concert is also posted HERE, on my List Of All Concerts I’ve Ever Gone To page.

Music: NoFX – We Got Two Jealous Agains

Cool– glad you had a good time.
Linoleum is my all-time favorite NOFX song– it is Track 1 on Punk in Drublic.
Anyway, I went to the Richmond show last night. I was extremely satisfied, but I was surprised at how many songs were from older albums. I would say the majority came from Punk in Drublic (I thought they played 5 songs, but I only remember 4 at the moment), So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes (6 if you count Drugs Are Good which makes a cameo in the hidden track) and Pump Up the Valium (4 if you count the partial Dinosaurs Will Die). I think the only song from the latest non-live album (Wolves in Wolves Clothing) was “Seeing Double at the Triple Rock”.
This is not in order and may not be complete, but here are the songs I remember them playing at the Richmond Show
*Intro
*Fuck The Kids
*Dinosaurs Will Die (that got cut off early on because an audience member was getting squished).
*Bob
*Linoleum
*Seeing Double at the Triple Rock
*All His Suits Are Torn (aka Billy Cobin)
*Perfect Government (aka “How did the Cat Get So Fat”)
*The Brews
*Dying Degree
*Reeko
*Whoops I OD’d
*Herb Albert
*Louise
*Eat the Meek
*Murder the Government – Our opening lyrics were “I want to see Dick Cheney have a heart attack, I want to see the White House Full of Blacks…”
*Quart in Session (aka “Nothing Seems Much Fun Anymore to Me”)
*Radio – I think this is funny– right before this song, they were complaining about how they had to come up with a new set list because Teenage Bottlerockets saw them play the night before. So Fat Mike presented this song (a cover) as proof they had to really reach to get the new set list. So I think it is interesting that they played Radio the night before too. :)
*Drugs Are Good
*Sticking It In My Eye
*It’s My Job to Keep the Punk Rock Elite
*Bottles to the Ground
*She’s Nubs
*Kill All the White Man
*Theme From a NOFX Album
Then after Melvin was finally separated from his accordion, the band lip-synced “Everyone is a little bit racist”

I find Linoleum overrated. There’s tons of better NoFX songs!! The audience really went crazy for that one.
And they lip-synced the “Everyone is a little bit racist” for us too.
And yup – those were our opening lyrics for Murder The Government.
