Re: Heathens Homecoming 2024
I will be the first to admit that I don't know anything about the traditional African American Protestant Church in America, but I feel like the bond between band and audience, the constant ratcheting up of excitement, energy and an almost religious epiphany that raised the roof is very similar to ...

Re: Heathens Homecoming 2024
i assume it's no surprise to anyone that my dead* son, Bryan, is always with me, but sometimes he's more with me than at other times and this week has been one of those "more" times, so this 38 word capsule review is dedicated to the memory of Bryan Max Bernfeld : I have come to realize that almost ...

Re: Heathens Homecoming 2024
There was that one stretch, i want to say in the mid-2010's when Cooley dropped it from the set for a few months. But other than that, 2 zipless shows in a row is fairly rare i think.cortez the killer wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2024 6:52 pmNo "Zip City." Gotta be a rarity for a post-SRO rock show.

Re: Heathens Homecoming 2024
About 5 or 6 songs into the Truckers' set i caught a flash of something in my peripheral vision, looked to the right and saw a shock of silver/white hair and a longish silver/white beard. For just that half second I thought "Good, Rod's here..." :( So this 7 word review is in memory of the much miss...

Re: Heathens Homecoming 2024
Yeah, I woke up this morning thinking "oh no, I forgot 'Wallace'!" Definitely a surprise and probably a first for just about everyone in the audience. Folks were buzzing about it afterwards.

Re: Heathens Homecoming 2024
I have learned not to go down the rabbit hole of what's "a Thursday show" v. "a Saturday show" and the like. There are common elements to most shows but there are also differences which endlessly renews the experience and leads to the mantra, "always go to the show." It was a barnburner tonight. Pat...

Re: Heathens Homecoming 2024
Last night was a fun evening. It was obviously going to be different than a DBT homecoming show and it was. Just about everyone I spoke to liked the idea of starting earlier in the evening and "easing into" the weekend with something a little "lighter" and more informal (not that the rock show is ex...

Special 12 word review for Clams:
"Space City." Mercy 'Buckets." Do i really need to say anything else?

This is the part that drives me crazy; the complete topsy-turviness of it all.
