Someone can check me on that but that's what I've got. Show was incredible. Didn't get a Kylesa setlist, but they were amazing and officially converted me into a fan after quite a few years of trying to get into them. I picked up Spiral Shadow, because I figure they won me over with a set that probably focused on that disc, and Static Tensions definitely didn't grab me like their live set was. They would have blown most headliners off the stage, but uh, this was Clutch, and do you see that fucking setlist? LA CURANDERA IS THE YOUNG GIRL IN A LINEN DRESS, IN A LINEN DRESS OF WHITE! 'Nuff said.

Oh, Righteous Fool were on first and sucked. Word to the wise: If you want to cover a non-metal song as a metal band, make sure one of the biggest metal bands on the planet don't already have a well-known cover of it. Their Green Manalishi was embarrassing.

EDIT: Indeed, Neil had a cast on his hand, and Per Wiberg (Opeth) beefed up most of the songs with far better keys than Mick Schauer ever did. He's easily my second favorite member of Opeth after Mikael, and his versatility was really on display last night. Although I kind of wanted to call for "A Fair Judgement" or "Burden."

Holy shit this makes me want to drive to NC tonight. So jealous of this set.

God damn I bet that was a great show.

Wow. That really is an awesome set. I want to see them headline really bad, so I'm hoping for a Clutch US tour this year.

betting on a clutch headline tour in any year is a pretty safe bet

I don't think these guys have taken a vacation in like 20 years. I can't think of too many bands that tour as frequently as these guys do and still find time to put out high quality albums and then have the time to do other stuff like Bakerton or The Company Band. It is amazing to me.

This is one of the best Clutch set lists I have seen in a long time.

Brad, you are an asshole.

Wow! That's a great setlist! Wait a minute, when did Wilberg start playing in Clutch?

He's filling it. He's played with clutch and bakerton before. The know each other from the first sounds of the underground tour.
