chasebeck Reviewed: August 25, 2024 concert by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard
For the nth time this tour, year, or whatever other metric of time, I found myself walking out of a King Gizzard show with my jaw on the floor. This show had a lot of tour debuts and rare gems but as always it's the places they took these songs that left me in awe. Plastic Boogie -> This Thing is all time. I love the way Slow Jam I and Sense teased each other even outside of the transition. Cavs was fired up and gave a super inspired Gaia solo and ridiculous The Book drum break. The b741 block was my favorites of the tour so far save for Detroit save for Detroit and the final sequence really speaks for itself. One for the ages, shows like these are why I end up in places like Newport, KY. Don't sleep on Fayetteville this November.

My 17th and favorite King Gizzard show so far. The most intense and intimate night of music I've ever experienced. Theia was 'peak gizzard' in a classic way but Crumbling Castle was what this band is all about. The moment when Stu gets all shy and the show almost ends only for him to go 'No come on guys we got this' and for them to pull together and finish the setlist. Unreal. A band that never stops challenging themselves and is creating a work of art bigger than anything I've ever seen. It's no single song or album or performance or show. The work of art is the band. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, forever.
