Down -- San Antonio, TX -- September 1st, 2011
 

Venue: Backstage Live

Openners: Ponykiller / In Solitude

This was the first date on the tour. The band sounds great and seemed to be having a really good time. It has been quite a few years since I've seen Down so I was really looking forward to this and the band definitely didn't disappoint. Setlist as follows:

Eyes of the South
N.O.D.
Lysergik Funeral Procession
The Path
Lifer (dedicated to Dimebag Darrell)
Pillars of Eternity
New Orleans Is A Dying Whore
Losing All
Underneath Everything
Ghosts Along the Mississippi
Temptations Wings
Swan Song

Encore:
Hail the Leaf
Stone the Crow
Bury Me In Smoke

Down need to get some new material out, they're an amazing live band but that set is tired!

I really considered driving down for this show, but I've already seem 'em this year and have spent a lot of money on tickets lately. Looks like a solid, but yeah, definitely a standard Down set.

Any word on the In Solitude set?

I'm not familiar with they're music, so I have no clue what they played. They were really fun to watch though and I really enjoyed their set.

Yeah that looks like the same exact setlist they played when i seen them exactly 2 years ago in Sept. I'm planning on seeing them later this month too. It's still a pretty good set. Just wish they change it up a bit. I'd like to see Stained Glass Cross, Beautifully Depressed, or The Seed again.

Don't they have new stuff coming out soon? Why don't they thrown in a couple new songs

Damn I'd love to hear that one live

After seeing this, I'm not so bummed about missing them next week. That's pretty much the same set I saw on the Down/Melvins/Weedeater tour a few years ago. I really wish they would just go back to the evening with Down sets. Those were:drool:

This looks pretty much like the Toronto date from the September 2009 tour except I don't think they played [I]Temptations Wings[/I] that night and they played[I] Nothing In Return (Walk Away) [/I]to close out the regular set. And the Melvins didn't play either. We got Voivod instead.

Regardless they were really good.
