As someone who spent his time down near the rail on Page side I can tell you that this show smoked from start to finish. The Martian Monster out of the gate brought back a sweet jam I first heard at the tail end of 2001 (A.S.Z.) at The Gorge 7/27/2013 (it's sweet, rocking progression with space for a bass noodle, don't have a time index for either occurence) and was a totally unexpected opener (gets my vote, CB).

After that it was all smoke and flames, great interplay throughout. DWD was tight and focused and I love Axilla (I or II, extended ending or no). 555 seemed to rediscove3r a little of it's edginess but I prefer those kind of songs when the band almost comes off like they want to punch you with sound. Yamar never really gets me going, I prefer NICU for whatever reason, but it's always good for a bouncing good time.

The second set was just awesome. If you're complaining about the perfection with which they transitioned from Tweezer> MF, MF you miiiiiiight be checking the time more then getting down in the grime. Because that was sick. Almost as sick as the Carini> Tweezer. Man do I love Carini, so metal and the more metal the better. All in all a pretty ripping show and I think the band digs The Forum.

BTW, I'm calling a Tweezer Reprise show opener the next time they're in LA. Just sayin'
