I am with you Advent1, Baroness actually blew me away! Very trippy corss between really old Soundgarden, some Neurosis and Isis moments, with heavy doses of blissed out stoner metal for good measure ! Very pleasantly surprised by them and light years better than the garbage that was Nachtmystium and HOF (sorry, HOF are a one trick pony, same regurgitated detuned power chords on an 8 string guitar are booooring as hell...I will give them an A for trying hard to be totally metal though !!! )
Awesome show that started out a little ragged at first, but was scorching in the end! You could tell the guys were having a blast and that it was the end of the tour though... A killer version of Deliverance and Night and Still Water ! Mike was hilariously funny as usual, "I have been wearing this shirt since the toru began like 27 days ago, it's disgusting and dirty" (points to the the front around his stomach area and says " See this, it's cum"... Also, before launching into Deliverance he says, " When I get home I am going to fuck my wife, and this song is dedicated to her, wait, no, it's not it's dedicated to you all"...
One of the best shows (I am somewhere near 10 shows since Deliverance) I have ever seen from the boys ! In talking with Per and Mike afterwards it looks very much like they will be back in either Feb or March of 09'.
