Great show last night. They killed it. Neil’s vocals on point. Tim’s playing spot on. iPhone clips never do it justice but here are a couple anyway…
After JD Pinkus (from Butthole Surfers, Honkey, and the Melvins) did his solo set (exclusively on Banjo, which was surprisingly cool but weird), Helmet took the stage. They were heavy (all Fryettes) and damn they were LOUD. My friend’s phone was measuring 94 dB. Loudest I’ve been to since Black Label Society.
Here’s a clip of clutch with Red Alert (Boss Metal Zone). How can you not like a band that writes a song about the Boss Metal Zone, amirite!?
Encore was The Mob Goes Wild and Electric Worry. Here’s a short clip Of Mob Goes Wild.
Between Helmet and Clutch was Quicksand. I’d never heard them before. They were pretty good as well, and the singer and some of the songs had kind of a Jane’s Addiction vibe to them.
Anyway - all in all - great time seeing some live music. And seeing Clutch in person for the first time (finally). Good to see these 50 year olds still rocking hard!!
