So, yeah, I listen to the show (normally not live) and I write out this review basically live.  I want to try and stay as current with the shows as I can. I know I'm talking to anyone. Go fuck youeself. 

My Headspace entering the show:
Monday Nov 4, 12:36 pm. I will be listening/watching the show from the laptop/kitchen stereo set up. Nothing speical here but it does the trick. Plus, I get a lot of moving around space instead of sitting at the desk in the office. I got off work at about 9:30 am this morning like normal. I came home grabbed the Road Dawg Lu and we went for a quick nature walk today. Only about 1.5 miles. It rained yesterday, and you are not even supposed to be out there at all, but fuck that, we getting a lil sum sum in. Back home I showered, and I ate for the first time today. Bacon egg and cheese sammy. Go fuck yourself. It was delicious. Now, Show time. I got 2 beers I m about to crack and I'm probably just gonna drink them fast so I feel them for the show. I got a little hash oil left in the penjamin I'm gonna be rippin', and the bong is making an appearance today. Which I will be enjoying right off the bat with my beers and the weed my Bestie gave to me yesterday during football. Snack during show: Chocolate Chip Brioche Bread. Dinner after show: Brats and baked beans, and white cheddar mac and cheese. Welp, I got this mother fucker queued up. Lets crack into it:

Set 1: All Is Known, Pleura, Doom City, Billabong Valley, Hypertension, Antarctica, Ambergris[1], Sad Pilot, Rats In The Sky, Intrasport[2] -> Set, Extinction, Converge, Gaia[3] > Gila Monster > Motor Spirit > Gaia

 

Setlist First Glance: FUCKING INSTRASPORT!!!! lets go. 

Show Start: Right off the bat, Joey walks out in a Blood Incantation long sleeve. That for me is a great omen. Get a First thing "Light em Up T!" Love to see it. My beer is cracked, Bong is ripped.  

All Is Known: I love this as an opener. Rocker right on front.  

Pleura: Not super familar with this song. Loving the heavy bassline in it. 

Joey: calls crowd G's and talks about day lights saving time. Then Joey brings up something super meta and says sorry to the nuclear fusion guy and maybe next time. This is referring to a post I saw on reddit of some school teacher who plays KG to his class mates. They literally let Mystery Jack do it the show before. lol. You win some, you lose some. 

Doom City: So is so good, the time changes own. Pit getting busy. Love a mixy pit. 

Stu gets a shirt thrown at him. Joey thanks the stream people. the people in the stream. Stu puts on shirt.

Billabong Valley: Ambrose is on the fucking loose. Amby starts song from sound box. This song is a fucking ripper for sure. I love when Amby takes the lead. Song is kinda strung out. Song it shouted out to Eb? lol fuck idk. I slammed those 2 8% beers and I feel decent. I only drink on vacation and not during these reviews. The break down is epic. Stu, Amby, and Lucas sitting ner Cavs drums jamming. 

Stu: Thank you sexy sailors!!! Joey: shoutouts King Stingray. 

Hypertension: They have been crushing this song, so I'm ready for this one. God they keep cutting to a shot of Cookie. What a dream boat. Tempo change really takes off. hell yes. Beers gone, RIPPPING THE BONG. This song owns. They seem to love to play it. Joey lets it fly. Band Lets it fly. Getting Jammy for the first time of the night. This is the song to do it on. Cavs really standing out in this song. Full jamming speed now. Best thing about having a deaf dog. My neighbors can hear my music, and my dog is passsssed out on the couch in the same open area. This song fucks so much. Cavs huge smile on his face. Into a crashing hault back into the chorus. I literally broke out in dance. Stu rocking the fuck out. This is probably their best live song. They kill it everytime. its that or those 2 beers got me fallin in love. This got the treatmeant.

Joey calls it hot immediately at the end of the song. I missed a lot of banted. But they talk about Stu's map that costed $15 and he is playing on it right now. they talk about no polar bears in Antarctica. 

Antarctica: I got married here. Getting divorced though. meh. It's gonna be a miss, Snowsball chance in hell. God, I CookieDawg69 is such a dream boat. Getting a jam section. Chill jam.  

Ambergris: I think its funny they pair these songs together. Ambergris is like waxy spit up from whales that is used in perfumes. And Whales are all over Antarcica. Cookie/Pipe-Eye call out. Nasty synth and bass. Nice chnage of pace. Joey making horny with his voice. I'm playing fetch in the living room with the Baby Boy Lu Dog. Just twice though. thats all he wanted. Gonna get me some of the chocolate bread. :) bread is fire.  

Sad Pilot: Gotta play some new album. New album is sweet. I crushed my snack, like they crushed that Hypertension. Feeding the pup some cheese for tricks."I'll just keep winging it" story of my fucking life. 

Rats In The Sky: This song just starts, then ends. because a dude is passed the fucked out. so they stop to help the bloke out. because we love each other. I have to say that out loud because I can have ego some times and be an asshole. <3:). Stu thanks everyone for being cool. We do help out the people who are party'ed out. dude got help. this song gives me the best visuals in my head. I like rats. I'll probably get a tattoo about this song. Big pause befores Stu's verse. 

Intrasport -> Set: Here we fucking so. Debut Intrasport into my fav synth table song set. Big call from crowd for INTRASPORT!!. Place going to go wild. Sound kinda Fucked for the start but gets fixed. Lucas out front with joey's guitar. So sick. Joey on tamborine? oh who fucking cares. no one is reading this nonsense. but if you are. you matter. even if you don't fit in with anyone around you. you matter. <3. synth table jam time. I'm a metal/jam guy. but their synth jams own so hard. I ripppppp the hash oil. I will rip the penjamin until it is gone for all os Set. Slay the MIGHTY SET! Love this song live. Love seeing all the wizards working with their cauldrons. They seem to really enjoy this part. I can't wait until FoV cause I know they are going to have a late night rave set. I will fucking be there forrrrrr sure. This one is nicely put together. Joey back on guitar, Lucas back on bass for jam. Very nice. Nice mix of rave and rock and roll right now. Crazy sounds like video game bombs being dropped. I'm just dancing in my kitchen like a loon. Oh yeah. Jam is reaaaaaal funky. You think its the same Pink Jump suit Stu is in every night? I say he has atleast 2 right? right?

just a fade out into next

Extinction: Amby Joins the table. Welcome Sir. I just ran over and gave my 1 and only Road Dawg , The Lu Dawg, a fuck ton of kisses. <3. This song rips. A thumper as the kids say? Talk about rats nest, their table had like 80 wires on it. I know Joey loves synth table but his guitar playing is so nice paired with the table because of his synth experiance. The dark jam is really cool. All hands on deck. Cavs keeping everyone together. CookieDawg69 definitly feeling it. Hash oil on fumes at this point. Why m I still hitting it? 

Back to metal! This next songs are fucking amazing. so ready. Haven't got a light up T in a while. So, it seems T did it anyways. lol. Then now, Joey says it. T lights them up. 

Converge: Lets fucking go!!!!!! PIT BACK ALIVE! Ambrose hasn't brought up his pain pills tonight yet. will it happen? Time will tell. It is running out. My brats are gonna be go good. Stu going full Rock God Mode. This entire album goes sooooo hard in the paint live and on album. Live Just pure rock gnarly goodness. 

Joey fucking loves us, and said he was really nervous cause intrasport. sureeee....

Gaia > Gila Monster > Motor Spirit > Gaia: First setlist look: This looks wild. I'm so ready. Throat signing to start. Lucas slamming in the powerstance. Cavs getting straight filthy with a drum solo > Gila! NICEEEEE! I m headbaning in the kitchen, judge me. I will take you out to dinner and try and change your mind about me.  GILA GILA!! Ambrose owns. Getting busy a elbow with a ton of new hardware in it. I just started the Mac and cheese. Gonna start the brats in the air fryer soon. very very soon. > Motorspirit: Slammer of a sandwhich going on here. Beers almost worn off. Brats in. Amby slamming the cymbal. Joey ripping the stick. Showing love for the Blood Incantation. Getting really spooky. Ends on the chant. Pauses: > Gaia: Cool ender. 

Stu truly loves every single one of the fans. 

I m hungry, time to eat. I love you! 

So, I fed the dog. I ate my dinner. I'm gonna smoke a bong and post this thing. I m not going back over it. it is what it is.

Final thoughts: Ripper of a show. Table owned. Hypertension is Masterful. Monster of a song. Intrasport was ight. Set smashed as always. Ending metal was sooo sick. I love you. I love you. I love you.

November 2, 2024 "Acoustic Show" @ The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park · San Diego, CA, USA

Acoustic Set 1: Witchcraft -> Chang'e, Inner Cell > Loyalty > Horology, Sense, Raw Feel, Dirt, Flight b741, Iron Lung, Muddy Water -> The Bitter Boogie, God Is Calling Me Back Home, Magma, The Silver Cord, Theia, The River


Welp, its Sunday Nov 3rd, 03:10 am. Midwest, USA. I'm awake because I work the graveyard shift. Just sat down at the computer. Which will be my listening/watching station for this show. I have 2 cups of coffee, I will probably get a third. I will be rippin the pen regulary. I like to always give my state of mind for these things. Besides hittin the pen, Ill just surfing the web and listning mostly. Once the sun starts the rise, gonna take my sweet baby boy Lu the Dawg for our 5 mile nature walk. So, this show should get my head right for that for sure. This is an acoustic set, So, that is gonna be different. So lets see what we get into. Shall we?

Show Start:

They say they might play some wack stuff, Joey says if it sucks he is going to yell bail to signal the band to stop. lol. Stu says he doesnt know whats about to happen and he is happy everyone came and he loves them. like always.

Witchcraft: I hit the pen, start the first cup of coffee. It being acoustic definitly gives the song a very different vibe. Everything just softer, even the singing. which I guess makes sense. 

Chang'e,: This song sounds very cool on acoustic imo. Maybe its just they opened with a metal song on acoustic and this just sounds more natural. meh, idk. Cool call back to witchcraft in the lyrics at the end. 

Joey is thrilled he hasn't had to yell bail yet after 2 songs. lol. he also ask Cook if he is gonna go ape shit tonight, and Cookie response with "Mmmmmm, maybe". is the most CookieDawg69 way possible. We get our fist Light em up T. Get them Lumens poppin. Joey is feeling himself, warns of bail warning. Joey is on fire, tells Stu he likes his "git up" then immediately says he looks like a tellatubby who just got out of rehab. too funny. Stu gives gratiude to the crowd.

Inner Cell > Loyalty > Horology: Joey is nervous about this Polygondawanaland suite. Ambrose says, it was Joey's idea. This section might be a heater. Yeah, this really is starting to come together during Loyalty. Very cool. Crowd pop going into Horology. I like these midevil songs on the old peoples guitars. 

At song finish Joey yells, "No Bail, No Bail." The band is calling memeber out of the crowd that look like Stu. A tellatubby just out of rehab. 

Sense: Real smooth entrance for this song. They get kinda jammy in this song? maybe that is just how its written. Sounds pretty hot on acoustic. Amby playing piano with broken elbow. Witchcraft call back during the jam, then it kind of just break downs and ends. That was cool. 

Raw Feel: Extended into into RF. You can hear it coming. Cavs leading the way, Amby harmonica hinting to what is coming. Then all of a sudden, Raw feel. This album is just awesome live when it comes to pure rock music. Just fun. Everyone is involved. Just sick.  

Joey, calls out its the best night of his life. Which has said on stage many, many times. hahaha. Stu shouting out the childerns in the crowd. Then joey asks for older people. idk wtf they are doing. Amby leaves to go get some pain pills in his system. Long banter break. Cavs Jumps on the mic. Stu talks about how giving a dummer a mic was the best thing ever. LOL Cavs says bail to the convo. Joey calls the next song shit, and Lucas was all like wtf mate. I like this song. 

Dirt: I will say paper mache dream balloon does not get a lot of spins in this house, but I need to. idk why I feel that way. But I do. Yeah, that song was mid, ngl.

Lucas says he will sing half the track. Stu wants to play in F? but no one wants too? idk wtf is going on during this banter. 

Flight B741: Sir Ambrose starting out strong on the harmonica. Fucking love Cookie. He just oozes cool. short and sweet version. Like I said before, B741 songs gets everyone involved and that is gnarly.

Calls out a Panda from previous show that they remembered. Said Panda is there tonight. They asked if the Panda was going to crowd surf. It seemed eager. Someone should let it know, its an endangered species. Those things are fucking dumb though.

Iron Lung: One of my favorite songs of all time. Excited for this one. Pain killers might be kicking in for Amby. Going to go make my 3rd cup of coffee after this song. I've probably hit the pen 10 times already. its 4:27 am. The guys are getting after it. Fuck yeah, this is tight. The screen is going off. super cool visuals. Song of the night so far for sure. Amby leaving it on all on the stage. His elbow break was nasty looking. I might have a crush. 

Muddy Water: Tasty jam. nice blend into The bitter boogie.

The Bitter Boogie: Blues rock on acoustic, classic sound. Song is going for a little ride it seems. Amby adds so much fucking flavor contrast to the rest of the band in terms of voice. Adds a lot of depth. I might have crush... This song is really getting the treatment. pretty cool. 

Stu: "Thhaaanks!" he is a goof ball. Joey is teasing Greenday and Sugar Ray. They just keep playing the start of "time of your life". 

God is Calling Me Back Home: WE GOING HOME! Stu had to tell Amby to fire it brother. Talking about playing the harmonica, because he must of missed his cue? Pills MUST be hitting. This song sounds pretty sick on acoustic. Screen going wild. Joey and Stu both say Cookie about to go ape shit. Just having small talk during song. Joey is playing Beer bottle slide. Cavs big ender. 

Band dedicates next song to Sam. Calls out T for being awesome. Then they call out a bunch of other crew memebers, trying to get all of Them? then they don't know if they did. So Joey yells "Bail! Bail!" 

Magma: I'm literally chair dancing right now. Fucking Groovy. Gnarly throat singing into chorus. FUCKING PANDA CROWD SURFING! That brought me joy. Getting busy at an acoustic show. Stu says, "Go Panda!". Panda straight got carried in a huge circle around the crowd. Legendary. This song is a contender for song of the night. Stu sounding really fucking cool with his singing. Band really laying it down. Smoke show. 

Band calls out immediately after sogn ends that, "That went better then expected." They talk about how the name "Disco Magma" would be a cool band name. Stu ask if Cavs is good. Cavs says yes, and ask should be play some metal? The whole band starts playing Gaia, then sing the wrong lyrics? Joey yells "BAIL BAIL!" lol very funny moment. Then Stu reminds the crowd they bought tickets to an acoustic show. lol. Im pretty baked for 5:14 in the morning. 

The Silver Cord: This version is wild. Completely transforms the song, imo. Rough launch, middle is better. I liked the attempt.

Theia: This song starting out more natural sounding. Jammy part sounds chill, Joey looks like he is on a swing. He is pumping his legs like he is trying to get some sick air. Cookie laying down some much needed synth. That was a cool version. 

Joey checking on Amby and his arm. Ambrose is gnarly. I really might have a crush. Ask for a light em T, Then a full band call out round about. Stu says everyone is going ape shit. Uno Mas is called. 

The River: Band tech brings a shot out and hand feeds one to each of the band members. Very Rock and roll, and silly at the same time. This song sounding very nice thus far. Getting real jazzy. real snazzy. real pazazzy. wtf m I talking about. go fuck yourself. <3 with all due respect. Building back up now. Not a heavy build, but then a call back the Theia. Now they are just riding this groove out. Telling everyone Thank you and I love you. Get home safe. You know the drill. Shows over.

Shows over.

My final thoughts. Cool show. That Lung won the night. Magma close 2nd. I would go to acoustic show, but only if it was more intimate I think.

Disclaimer: My reviews are typed out once and only once. I do not edit, or reread anything. They are what they are. There will be misspelled words, bad grammar, incoherent babbling, incompletely sentences, and odd thoughts in there. If you have a problem with that, I will fight you.

I was cleaning the house and ended up kinda lit. This was a fun day at my house. 

November 1, 2024 "Marathon Show" @ The Forum · Inglewood, CA, USA


Marathon Set 1: Mars For the Rich, Planet B, Hell, Slow Jam 1 -> This Thing -> Am I In Heaven?, Self-Immolate, Dragon, Flamethrower, Straws In The Wind > O.N.E. > Sleep Drifter, Nuclear Fusion, Antarctica -> Boogieman Sam, Field of Vision, Daily Blues > Robot Stop > Big Fig Wasp > Gamma Knife[1] -> Ice V -> The Lord of Lightning > The Balrog, Le Risque[2]

Saturday, November 2nd afternoon sometime. I have already took my dawg Lu for our five mile nature walk, and got my grocery shopping finished for the week. I have been hitting the penjamin pretty regulaly all morning and now when I start this show, I will be cracking open my first "Chocolate Lava Cake Stout" made by State of Brewing. Which I picked up from an A1 establishment named Aldi.
I will be cleaning the house, ripping the pen, having a few colds ones, dancing the entire time, and trying to take some notes on the songs. Then Ill end it with a New York Strip steak dinner cooked medium, with a smashed sweet potatoe for those complex carbs. Ok, now that the stage is set. Lets get to going.

Stage Start: 

Joey starts the show off talking about how the band will reflect the crowds energy, so hit them with everything they got. Then of course Stu chimes in with telling everyone he loves them as he normally does. The dude is a torrent of love apperently. Pretty Gnarly.

Mars for the Rich: I love ITRN so getting a ITRN sutie opener is tight, gets the people going. Sound needed some ironing out, but they ended up getting it situated. Pit looking Lively, Looking fun.  

Planet B: Ripper of a Planet B. Pretty standard. Stu calls everyone legends. The stadium is fucking packed.

Joey Shouts out King Stingray for being a speical band out of AUS. says they fucking rock.

Hell: Just pounding them in the nut sack with metal. Ending of this some got really nasty in the best way possble.

> wild transition jam from hell into Slow jam 1. very tasty.

Slow Jam 1: Very cool change of pace with a nice jammed out version of Slow Jam 1. According to the Stats this was considered the bust out of the night but only a 12 show gap. Not really a bust out IMHO, but wtf do I know? Not much really. The jam was very nice, had good groove to it. lasted awhile with a nice build at the end to enter This thing.  

This Thing: One of my faves.  Just an Absoulte monster of a song, with "am i in heaven tease". was mopping the floor while dancing for this one. had to stop and rip the pen also.

Am I in Heaven: is it really a tease if they just mix them together and the end/begining? idk, who cares. Set list opening pretty steller so far. Really rocked out middle section. Amby Amby the one armed man finlly makes an appreance in my opinion on his harmonica. I would literally give that dude a big fat smooch if I could. really dig his style. No Diddy. Back into Slow jam 1 for a secound. Then literally into some jam band esqe jam. Stu with a lyrically jam at the end.

Amby addresses his elbow breakage kinda.

Self-Immolate: Right back into metal, We get the first "light em up T". Ive done the dishes, cleaned the kitchen tops and floors, Swapt Laundry, dusted the living room, and vaccumed. still gotta fold laundry. Cracking 3rd beer. Just a little update. Intro to song was a nice build to a rager of a song like always. Stu is feeling himself likes always. The kid gots moxy.

Shout to jason gelea from the band.

Dragon: Fucking love this song. Always a smoke show. Plus its about a dragons. fuck yes. Amby getting after it with his one good drumming arm. Stu literally sings a part of the song in the starfish position. fucking metal. pit getting real busy. Cavs is a machine.  

Flamethrower: Just pumper of a rock show. You can tell Amby is not 100% but dude is a fucking rock god. Long Live Ambrose Kenny-Smith.

Joey shouts out Cavs. Ambrose takes the lead. Talks to the crowd. Joey and Amby talk about cricket. Amby calls himself a cripple (lol) then tells the crowd to not encourage him to do anything stupid because will not think twice. FUCKING ROCK LEGEND.

Straws in the wind: Love this song, I can say this about most of their songs so get use to it. No one will read these anyways. That is why I'm going to do them. For no one. <3. Breakdown in the song. Amby calls, the crowd reponse. IS IT ALL STRAWS IN THE WIND?!?! Stu does his throat singing at the end. Amby breaks out the Harmy. I might be a little lit. Folding the laundry.  

O.N.E>Sleep Drifter: Ill admit, I don't listen to this song a lot. Lets see how it goes for me. I do need to listen to the microtonal album more. Right into a nice little jam to ride it out. very nice.

LIGHT EM UP T!!!!! Joey calls out half way point.
Joey looking for the freakiest cunt. Calls up Mysteryjack he starts Nuclear fusion.

Nuclear Fusion: Banger. Cool start. Pay homage to a legend of the scene.

Antartica: Fun Fact. I've Been to Antarctica. Blues time. Let em know Cookie! Like this song really only live. besides that, it will prolly gt skipped.

Boogieman Sam: Also a good time. Just a pure rocker. The middle part of the song Stu starts to tea bag the crowd. Sweet part of the song too. Break down then back to rippin.  Prepareing sweetpotatoe baked potatoe. like what i m right now. :) poke all over with fork, oil up, air fryer for 35 to 45 mins. Boys gettin after it.

Joey talks about upcoming shows. One show which isnt listed. And the festival they are putting on called Field of Vision. Which I will be going to. I already have tickets.

Field of Vision: Banger of a rock song. Love it. This one is a decent one. SIlly BIlly part always owns, always fun.

Joey calls for shots and a soft light em up T. Calls out Harry Styles. RIP to his man?

Daily Bues: Joey solos to open I think in spite of Stu, I think Joet thought Stu was talking shit, or "stitching him up" as the cunt put it. Then tells Stu to to " suck that shit bro" but then stu said no I wasnt. then had a little fun banter. Scripted? Perhaps. Love the whole album of B741. Crowd kinda chillin. We just flying through clouds of love. Not going to Lie, I cant stop myself from dancing during Ambys part ever. Fucking gives me ants in the pants. ALL THE BIGOTS GO GET FUCKED. love that part.

Robot Stop: NONAGON INFINITY OPENS THE DOOR. Arguably their best work. Lets get it.  Back to This Thing? FUck Yes! Extra part of Robot Stop? All chorse complete. potatoe almost done. Misjudged the tater. gonna wait 15 mins to cook steak. These songs always rock.

Big Fig Wasp: Just got a super sick tyedyed Big Fig Wasp shirt in the mail today. I love it and this song. Stu is going fucking bonkers for the feedback. Love to see it.

Gamme Knife: Notes says unfinished, Lets see. Boys All moving, All feeling it. Im definitly feeling. Slowed on the beers. I'm not trying to get wasted. just bnuzzed. Still on number 3. They are 8% though. My special needs dog Lu is making a huge fucking mess with his food. Which is normal. Bless his heart. Was short, > into Ice V

Ice V: Band seems to be in full force for the last 45 mins straight. none stop slaying. Gets real jammy. Nice vibes. Im getting hungry for my steak. Lord of Lightning teases. My body is ready.

Lord of Lightning: MOTU is one of my favorite albums. But I love 99% of their cataloge, so take that with a grain of salt. Stu going wild, fucking love the guy. cellephane tease outta nowhere. No mindfuzz at all tonight. lol

The Balrog: You have to play this after LoL, IMHO. Baked potato is done, just butter salt pepper. gonna be slamming. Got the cast iron started heating for the steak. Trying to time it for the end of the show. crowd is feeling the 3 hours? or not into Balrog.

Joey Calls for a Light em up T, And a turn it up Sammy. Cavs walks away from the drums. Jay Weinberg comes out for Le Risque.

Le Risque: The Stu's last verse of this song goes so hard. Well really, whole wong fucks. Cavs gives it up for Jay. Picks a weird girl to laugh like the joookerrrrr. Jays wife says ok lets ride, AMby smashes his part. Cavs lifts Stu for  splits. I gotts go butter bast my steak. Amazing show.  


Awesome 2nd leg of the tour opener. Im feeling pretty good about myself. Steak is resting. I might have over cooked it. but we will see. Untill next time. Keep on Gizzin.    


My dinner was fire. 9.3/10
