Sugar at MegaCorp Pavilion

I’ve seen Bob Mould solo a time or two, but never caught Hüsker Dü or Sugar perform live. Checked off the latter this evening at the never-not-funny-to-say-out-loud MegaCorp Pavilion in Newport, Kentucky. After many shows with a bevy of elaborate screens, it was refreshing to see a straightforward production with the band front and center, simple backdrop, well-kerned sans serif, and nice lights. Also worth noting, we went to Carmelo’s (an Italian joint) before the show, split everything from a gluten-free menu, and dang if it wasn’t all super solid. (Tipping my hat to another Chris G. for dinner.) Also, also? I swear the next day I felt great. Maybe I need to revisit my relationship to gluten? I can’t right now.
