saw meshuggah last night

[agony bagony]

to the surprise of absolutely no one, they ruled

i don't care much for in flames but they put on a good show and were enjoyable

torche i saw live ages ago and didn't think much of but they were surprisingly crushingly great, and then this morning i found out that apparently this was their last show ever?

also there was a cop there with his family and apparently they don't go to metal shows because he spent the show on the barricade trying to protect his wife from the crush of the crowd and glaring at anyone who dared bump into him. neither of them looked happy and he looked over his shoulder pretty much the entire time but they stayed up front? at one point he tried to have security pull me out of the crowd because i had the audacity to push up against him and his son, but fortunately logic somewhat prevailed when i explained to the guard that i could not press back against the 1500 people on the floor all by myself

all in all a ludicrous night

[User]

that is one tough cop, but you showed him

did they play LIGATURE MARKS

[jawn galliano]

ligature marks should've been up in that setlist

i did not realize there was a leg where in flames replaced converge. unfortunate

[User]

i would take converge over inflames any cunt of the night

[agony bagony]

they played the following songs in the following order

broken cog
light the shortening fuse
rational gaze
pravus
the hurt that finds you first
ligature marks
born in dissonance
mind's mirrors
in death is life
in death is death
the abysmal eye
straws pulled at random
--
demiurge
future breed machine

[agony bagony]

the first four songs all went one right into the next with basically no pauses, it was a breathless time

born in dissonance got a huge reaction & massive pit, kind of surprised by that actually

[User]

a relentless introduction

law and order

::::::::::::::::::::::::::

i would kill to go to a show like that right now

[jawn galliano]

also i will say my crowd-neighbors were also very obnoxious, but they can't hold a candle to crowdcop. vice squad should not be allowed to attend events of any kind, imo

[agony bagony]

i didn't know he was a cop until almost the end, i thought he was just super protective of his wife & had wicked unrealistic expectations of crowd behavior at a meshuggah show. then when he tried to have the security guard yank me over the rail & i explained what was actually happening the guard said "that hard-on bearer's a cop, you'd better back up" :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

[jawn galliano]

yes sir that is a reasonable request, me and a thousand other dudes will all politely back up and calm ourselves to avoid further spoiling this very special boy's big night out

at that point why aren't they hauling him over so he can just watch from the photo pit for the whole show

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

torche i saw live ages ago and didn't think much of but they were surprisingly crushingly great, and then this morning i found out that apparently this was their last show ever?

Steve announced that he was out after this tour and the rest of the band agreed not to carry on without him.

[agony bagony]

well that sucks because they were super goddamn good and immediately after their set i thought "i listen to this band now"

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

The live show is great but not a band I can really get into

[deckard]

meshuggah

[Ryeknow]

[Mesarthim]

Damn, looks they sold out that place. Huge venue in lummo's cowtown I think like 3500 or something. also, drugs are bad, Mkay.

[agony bagony]

it tickles me that this obscure-ass band of swedes i've been listening to for 23 years and who are now fucking old have gone from not being able to string together four headline dates on this side of the atlantic to selling out 2500+ seat theaters coast-to-coast

wild times

[Ryeknow]

I would gladly go to a show of this band here

[agony bagony]

well mosey on up to pittsburgh the next time they come through
