I will say, it was good hearing ceremony.
But basically, this was a slight change on the unity festival setlist:
the seattle show had superheated and vanishing point.
not a fan of world though. guilt is a useless emotion was ok,
but i would rather have heard be a rebel.
=================
anyways, bernards vocals were very rough the first half of the show, but eased into it in the 2nd half.
i do like the earlier era songs.
everything was pumped up to 11, especially the blinding flashing visuals. that really needs to be toned done.
and i'm not just saying that as an old man.
this wasnt exactly a rave, but it looked like it.
i still remember seeing them in a small theater location in 1985 for the low-life tour, and there barely had
any lights, maybe a few floods, doubt they had lasers. but i still remember that show a lot more, than i will
remember this one, due to the overload on anything. at one point i just closed my eyes just to listen to the
music, and that was actually better.
the versions were all the more recent evolution of the songs, so the bass and drums were super loud.
even the guitars were too. it was a much more rock sounding show. i do admit to liking all the extra
guitar parts from bernard though. even the reviled subculture got a decent response (although i
actually like the remix version, they even piped in the backup vocalists in most songs).
i think the keyboards were mixed too low, even when gillian had the leads, it was being buried.
there were a lot of bass solos too.
overall, no surprises really, just them doing the hits, with a few extras mixed in there.
the casuals liked the usual songs, and the place was packed.
so they must be doing something right.
later
