High on Fire played an off show with Converge and Keelhaul before their support slot with Dethklok and Mastodon. It was their first club show in while Pike said.

Fury Whip
Blood from Zion
Devilution
Eyes and Teeth
Turk
Commeth Down Hessian
Waste of Tiamat
Frost Hammer
Rumors of War

Nothing special tonight song-wise, but a great set overall. The new song Frost Hammer absolutely slays. I am definitely excited for the new album.

It's too bad I was the only one on here that got to hear more than 1 new song

Damn, I wish they'd play an offdate here. I'd be all over that shit.

I just got home and was gonna post the set list, and you beat me to it. I see you either didn't stay for Converge or left early (or live really close to Cleveland Heights).

Either way, it was a great night. I got video of the entire set, and a videographer dude from Pittsburgh approached me between sets and asked if we could trade footage, since he had asked about taping before the show and was told by HoF's manager that they didn't want anybody taping. Oops.

Normally I ask, like I did a few weeks ago with Burst, but tonight I arrived at the end of Keelhaul's set because I had to play Mr. Mom at home before coming to the show. I didn't have time to ask anybody (although I did run into Matt Pike in the bathroom before the show again - same thing happened to me back in 2007!). Anyway, he seemed to be in a hurry, so I didn't want to bug him about taping at the time.

The video dude asked me to get footage of Converge as well - who he said was OK with taping - and he said he wants to swap footage for that set, too. Between the two of us, we might just have gotten some really good stuff. Anyway, it seems like I'm starting to become an amateur metal videographer or something. I told my wife this story, and she called me a nerd. So I pimp-slapped her. Just kidding. I am a nerd, I guess.

When I get a chance to look at the Converge video, I will post their set as well - I know a few folks on here have been asking about it. Incidentally, I think it's pretty close to what Mankvill had posted earlier.

Peace,
Nat

That was unexpected and it made me laugh a lot. Thank you, sir.

Yeah, I'm not a huge Converge fan, so i left before their set. Plus I'm going to Columbus tonight for the Mastodon show so I'll see them there. I just wanted to get my High on Fire fix.

I saw that video guy. He asked the High on Fire manager if he could film them, but since they were playing new stuff, he didn't allow it.

Exactly. Luckily for me, I didn't talk to HoF's manager.

BTW, it looks like the video came out not too bad - I did a quick preview last night when I got home. I'll download the whole thing tonight and really check it out. Even if it sucks, I am stoked. I typically don't post that kind of stuff to YouTube (which I'll bet is what HoF's management didn't want to see happen) - I just like to look at it afterward and re-live the show for my own viewing pleasure (or sometimes I show the footage to my friends if they weren't able to go to the show for some reason).

Here is the Converge set list from this show - it is somewhat different from the one Mankvill posted (presumably because Converge was the headliner and therefore played a longer set):

Plagues

No Heroes
Bare My Teeth
Reap What You Sow
Cutter
Worms Will Feed

Axe to Fall
Eagles Become Vultures
The Broken Vow
Drop Out

Hope Street
Bitter and Then Some
Last Light
Dark Horse

Heartache
Hellbound
Concubine

...confirmed by video.

That's an awesome set. The only other new song I'd like to see added to the list is "Wishing Well." If you post videos from this, let me know!
