I never had the chance to listen to fIREHOSE. Mike Watt came to Boise, ID last year, he looks really old and didnt even perform anything it was a "meet & greet"???? and the other band that played before him was seriously so painfully awful I had to leave and then come back.

I think Watt looks appropriately old for someone who is 50+ and survived a near-death experience. I'm sorry you didn't see him play -- his recent recordings demonstrate that he's still got it.

Yeah I wanted to see some kind of performance. I've heard some of Dos, and I'll have to try to find some recordings of fIREHOSE. Mike Watt is one of my favorite bass players still to this day.
