I saw The Mekons live last night for what I think is the fourth time. They were great as usual. It was sort of a greatest hits set since their new album hasn't been released yet (indeed, it hasn't been recorded yet since they are planning to do it live in one take next week). I also got the sense from Jon Langford's remarks at the end thanking Cleveland venues that the band has played over the years that this tour may be a victory lap/final tour. The band is older and spread out geographically, so it may be difficult for them to keep going. That would be a shame but understandable. I hope that last night was the not the last time I will ever see them, but anyone who does get to see them live while one still can is in for a treat!
