Kyuss Lives! -- Los Angeles, CA -- November 18th, 2011

Ridiculously awesome show, miles better than the date in Pomona a month ago. The band played for over two hours straight, but took a couple of small two minute breaks in order to switch bassists. The first chunk of the show was with Nick, the second with SCOTT FUCKING REEDER, and then Nick returned for the last part.

The first hour with Nick was essentially the main set they've been doing for the whole tour, so no surprises there. Still a bitchin' hour to be sure though. The second half hour with Scott was mainly rarities, and was probably the highlight of the show. Dude is one of the most insane bass players I have ever seen live. The intro to Demon Cleaner was extended and jammed out, Fatso Forgotso was epic as hell, and N.O. was just straight up awesome. Mario and Dino from Fatso Jetson joined the band for the song, and those two and Bruno all had trade-off solos. That was probably the most badass part of the concert. Triple guitars+Scott Reeder=

When Nick returned for the last part of the show, all he said into the mic was "Scott Reeder" and the audience went apeshit. His portion was still pretty awesome, but we all knew Scott owned his ass this night.

This was billed as a special "homecoming show" with Scott advertised as a special guest. I'd expect their standard 90 minute set for SF.

I got an email advertising a 2 and a half hour set. Did they play that long?

Nope, about 2 hours and 15 minutes with a couple of pretty short breaks.

Yes they did. I thought they were cool, but their vocals were buried in the mix.

Nope again, he's allowed to remain in the U.S. to play concerts since that's how he makes a living. Scott Reeder plays all the international dates though. Douche or not, dude played well and seemed pretty jolly throughout the show. I even talked to a guy after the show who told me how he ran into Nick at a bar in Holland and chilled with him for a few hours. He told me Nick then gave him a free ticket to their show later that night- doesn't sound like that bad of a guy to me, especially since the band themselves announced that his arrest last summer was blown out of proportion.

This is the second time he's been arrested for something like this, sounds like he has problems.

Damn looks like you guys got a much better set, but I was exhausted at the end anyway

Yeah, but for every special LA show, the Bay gets like 5 special shows, so I wouldn't worry.

On an unrelated note, get your ass to the HoF show on Thanksgiving if you can, it looks like they're playing new material on this tour.
