My Heart for Deliverance
At the End of the Road
Times of Grace
At the Well
Left to Wander
We All Rage in Gold
Bleeding the Pigs
Given to the Rising
Through Silver in Blood

Definitely one of the best shows I've ever been to.

Freaking a, that was an amazing first exposure to Neurosis live. I still can't hear anything, and I'm sore as hell, but it was absolutely worth it. The new material translates really well in my opinion, but Given to the Rising and Through Silver in Blood were the highlights for me.

Where were you in the crowd? I was on the front rail the whole time. I managed to snag one of Scott's picks at the end!

pretty much how i felt when i saw them 8 years ago. i think ive seen maybe 3 other shows that were in the same league. easily one of the best sounding live bands ive ever seen, as good as on record, if not better.

3 shows in 8 years...christ... I'd say Electric Wizard at MDF was probably as good as this performance, but I was stoned then, and sober last night... also I don't even like Neurosis. I don't really like the soft-loud dynamics of post-metal but it was the best part of the show last night... I hadn't really listened to them before so I didn't know the songs at all, so waiting during the droning parts and wondering when they would EXPLODE was a pleasant torture, if you will... then when they finally EXPLODED, I just fucking shot forward with organic ecstasy and orgasmic energy beaming from me

@ InFlames: yeah Lincoln was on the rail in the center I'd say, and I was right behind him... he kept hitting me with his dirty metalhead hair though

Yes, that's what I meant; only 3 shows in 8 years. That's amazing.

I too was in the front middle a couple rows from the rail. Right on the edge of the "pit" which was only just 3-4 wasted/tripping dudes stumbling around

[Onioner]

I hate you all so much.

and those 3 shows were actually prior to neurosis too (faith no more 95, radiohead 2001, bjork 2001). those 4 set the bare ridiculously high for me.
