Travelled down to Atlanta pretty much just because Devin was there. It cost me a bit of cash, but it was well worth it. This was an oppurtunity I couldnt pass up. I dont think most of the crowd knew what they were getting with Devy, though he was received warmly. I did see a few people get up and walk out after a couple of songs, which was dissapointing to see, and have read that some people didnt like the music, and I think I was the only one standing and clapping in my section at the end of their set, but whatever. They rocked hard. Their set began with Devin sayingsomething along the lines of... this is the devin Townsend Band, its all about me, me , me, meglomania! Stick it in your cunt! Then he played about 30 seconds of Bryan Adams' Summer of 69 and said something about being canadian. With all of the vocal layers, and samples he uses, some of the little things get lost in the live performances, overall everything sounded great though (I imagine he's a soundboard operators nightmare). Including two new songs! The new band did a great job. The drummer especially gets kudos from me. Sounded great on Earth Day. Cant wait for the new album
What i remember from the set...
Seventh Wave
Regulator
Truth
Story (?) (new song)
Life
Suicide (new song)
Earth Day
Bad Devil
there was two other songs i'm pretty sure, but i'm pretty sure, i'm not sure what they were.... I wish he had alonger set as I would have loved to hear some more of Terria. The highlight of my weekend though, was seeing Devin in the airport as i was going through a security checkpoint. I was wearing a DTband t shirt i just bought (Nice new shirts, cool logo!), he saw it, gave me a nod and a smile. I just said dude you were fucking awesome last night. He said thanks i appreciate it. I've been grinning ear to ear since. I heard his name paged over the airport loud speakers too.
Devin Townsend rules.
