DOWN SHOW REVIEW: MAY 6, 2002 BOGART'S (CINCINATTI, OHIO):
THE SHOW WAS PRECEDED BY A FILM WHICH SHOWED DOWN WORKING ON THEIR LATEST ALBUM AND INCLUDED DRUNKEN, INTOXICATED MADNESS ALONG WITH VIDEO CLIPS FROM BANDS THAT APPARENTLY INFLUENCED DOWN. ARRIVED AROUND 8 P.M. AND A VIDEO SCREEN WAS ON THE STAGE SHOWING JIMI HENDRIX PLAYING LIVE. THEN, A VIDEO OF THE ROLLING STONES WAS SHOWN AND THIS WAS MET WITH THE CROWD SHOUTING "DOWN" AND BOOING AND GIVING THE STONES THE FINGER. I DON'T KNOW IF THESE VIDEOS WERE PART OF DOWN'S MINI-FILM OR NOT. NEXT, THE SCREEN WENT BLACK AND SAID DOWN AND STARTED SHOWING THE FILM OF MAKING THE NEW DOWN ALBUM. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE FILM INCLUDED VIDEO CLIPS FROM BLACK SABBATH, KISS, QUEEN, THIN LIZZY, SLAYER, AND LED ZEPPELIN. THE FILM WAS AROUND 30-40 MINUTES. DOWN'S SET LIST INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: THE SEED, THERE'S SOMETHING ON MY SIDE, TEMPTATIONS WINGS, LIFER, LYSERGIK FUNEAL PROCESSION, REHAB, LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES, NEW ORLEANS IS A DYING WHORE, LIES....., STONE THE CROW, ( I LOST TRACK OF THE ORDER THE REST OF THE SONGS WERE PLAYED) GHOSTS ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI, EYES OF THE SOUTH, BEAUTIFULLY DEPRESSED, AND BURY ME IN SMOKE (I THIN HAIL THE LEAF AN UNDERNEATH EVERYTHING WERE ALSO PLAYED). DOWN PLAYED ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF. SOUND WAS TOO BASS HEAVY FOR FIRST FEW SONGS THEN EVENED OUT. THE BACKDROP DEPICTED TREES AND A SWAMP SCENE AT NIGHT WITH THE DOWN LOGO. KILLER SHOW
