 Ty Segall was the r eason Webster sold out  that Friday. It makes sense that the only serious moment in previous artist´s performance was when he thanked Segall. He mentioned his name with reverence, and that’s the sort of attitude people have had toward the Californian rocker lately, and with good reason; he’s been on a Babe Ruth style home run spree, releasing albums constantly over the past year. 

A comparison to Neil Young is a heavy one to make, but Segall echos that heavy peace wager on multiple levels. On each record, he does his own thing with artistic confidence that makes you trust the material, even if it’s not your cup of tea. He steps into his own shoes with vigor .   That t night, Segall displayed that characteristic range, playing pop songs and heavy jamtasic tunes alike.

Some of his most popular songs — “Goodbye Bread” and “My Sunshine” — were absent from the set. He played hardly anything of off Goodbye Bread, one of his best records. But given the massive well of material Segall has to draw from that’s understandable — he’s got two (or is it three? Or four?) new records to tour behind. The culmination of his set was “Tell Me What’s Inside Your Heart”, off Slaughterhouse.

Enjoy it…
