So the Mastodon concert last night was balls out rockin'
I probably shouldn't post the setlist, to avoid spoilers, but suffice it to say, the songs off the new album translated well to a live setting. Especially, Roots Remain! I was somewhat disappointed that Brent seemed sober. I waited all night for him to trainwreck but he hit every cue and he actually sounded good singing.
I guess the only negative criticism I have was that Brann really needs to wear a head mic. The first several words from each line he sings are inaudible because he's so busy drumming that his mouth isn't up to the overhanging mic.
Their stage was top notch and was actually similar to DT's Astonishing tour stage. Pretty cool stuff.
I could do without the warm up bands, but my daughter really enjoyed Eagles of Death Metal.
