Lionize
Got there too late for Revoution Mother. Never heard of Lionize but they were a damn good opening act. Tim Sult played in Lionize as well. Very good stuff, kind of bluesy, kinda of a trippy sound. Fit very well w/ a Clutch show.

Wino
Wish I knew more of the Wino catalog so I can't comment much but I definitley enjoyed Wino's performance. Plus he broke a couple of strings on his guitar that were getting caught in his long hair. Would def like to hear Wino again when I knew his material a little better.

Clutch
These should be in order

Gravel Road
Dragonfly
Child Of The City
Struck Down
50,000 Unstoppable Watts
Minotaur
The Amazing Kreskin
Promoter
I Have The Body Of John Wilkes Booth

Slow Hole To China
Bakerton Jam
Abraham Lincoln
Elephant Riders
10001110101
Electric Worry / One Eye Dollar

Encore:
Texan Book Of The Dead
Spacegrass

Clutch still continues to be one of the most consistent live acts that I've seen and have yet to disapoint me when I see them. It's amazing that everytime I see them I still manage to say wow there are 2 or 3 songs I've never heard live. Hell yes for getting "Spacegrass"!!!!! It was nice that Clutch actually did an encore this time. Last time I saw them headline there was no encore and kind of disapointing. Crowd was really actually pretty cool and really no KC d-bags like I normally see. Merch is incredibly cheap. All t-shirts are only $20 which is a pretty fair price. I went and bought a huge freaking Clutch sticker that is almost 2' long. Bought 2 for $10 and bought a Clutch coozie (sp?) as well that was only $5. Amazing stuff!!!!! Wished for a little more from Blast Tyrant or anything from Pure Rock Fury but still it's all good!!! A great time as always at a Clutch show.

Final Count:
S/T - 3
Elephant Riders - 2
Slow Hole... - 1
Blast Tyrant - 1
Robot Hive / Exodus - 2
Beale Street - 3
Strange Cousins - 5

Cool review. How long was the Bakerton jam?

I bet that place went ballistic when they broke into Spacegrass...

Cool to see Slow Hole getting regular playing time. I'm hooked on that song Willie Nelson right now. Would love to hear it live

Awesome set though - Promoter is another one of my favorites.

Haha I can't believe I left that part out. Parking lots were packed as shit. And there were people everywhere and had to park @ a Boston Market which I didn't even know still exisisted. There were people out the ass every where, instantly I knew something had to be up, plus the people seemed to get a little more attractive as I got closer which was a definite white flag. There was a girl in front of me that tried to get in and they had to tell her what was going on, I hope she felt stupid as she should listening to that crap. I hope everybody froze their ass off in the 50 degree temperature, serves them right. I can only hope that happens for the Cannibal Corpse show next month. I have visions of Corpsegrinder literally trying to eat those kids and it makes me

. I'm embarassed I left that out.

That place absolutely off when they did "Spacegrass" I was thrown off for about 10 seconds b/c I was not expecting that @ all. I heard him saying "Jesus On The Dashboard..." and I was freakin out and yep place absolutely exploded singing every word. I knew there would be jealousy...

I've seen Spacegrass live and it's one of the best live songs I've ever seen by any band.

Yeah, I heard Passion Pit canceled as they were setting up (faggots) and then it was One in, One out for the backyard.

Was it crowded inside?

Yea that was a total cluster. Why the hell they scheduled both of those for the same night beats the hell out of me. It was funny I actually heard some of those fucking hipster kids talking about getting somebody's autograph from there. I couldn't help but laugh. I was also hoping somebody would get tired of that crappy music and jump off the top of the parking garage but to no avail....

I wouldn't go as far as to say it was crowded. Still a good crowd. I've seen it way more packed but I've seen less people. Prob somewhere in the middle. Holy shit I haven't been to the Beaumont since last November. I had no idea they threw so much $$ into fixing it up. Kinda bums me out a little. I miss looking up at the ceiling and seeing what looks like it could only be asbestos on the ceiling and wonder how they pass health inspections. I want my old Beaumont back....
