Devin's setlist consisted of about 4 songs from epicloud, 3 from infinity, 2 from decon, and 1 from addicted. Fair to say it's not what most people wanted to see, but it was still a nice rousing performance. Yeah gojira is worth every penny.

Devin needs to play more (some) stuff from Ocean Machine: Biomech.

by **viathyn** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 1:33 pm

I think I've only ever seen Seventh Wave and Life from Ocean machine. I want him to play more Terria! I WANT EARTH DAY. AND CANADA. AND THE FLUKE.

Maybe when he plays 70k one of these years he'll do it.

I want him to do Punky Bruster songs!!!
And Physicist songs.
And Deconstruction songs.
And Ocean Machine songs.

I guess the next gig will be either the pre-party or on the boat. Bummed that I will miss this: http://www.semifinal.fi/tapahtuma/24301
Damn, three great death metal acts (Maveth, Gorephilia, Corpsessed) in Helsinki tomorrow night. Maveth is scheduled to start at 11:30pm, so it'd be at least 2am when I'd get home - and I have to leave for the airport at 5:30am.

It’s just a Midwest thing from the Twin Cities, to Chicago, to Denver, and back again.

For Laura, I had thought about this today. Next time we are on this cruise together we’ll do Hot Blooded (together) at Karaoke. I just have to make sure that I have a fair amount of alcohol in me, it be 3:00 am and just a few people in the lounge, on the first night. This way I can embarrass myself with little fanfare. I cannot carry a tune even if it had a handle.

A treat for Laura,

Check out the vintage ‘70’s look.

Now, as for Lou Gramm. He still tours. Sounds alright and does the Foreigner songs well but is not the same man since surviving his brain tumor called a craniopharyngioma (Wikipedia as source). It has taken a long time for him to return to his old self. He does Christian Rock music now and it is very different, a pronounced departure from is Foreigner days. He mixes his Foreigner songs, with his solo songs, and his Christian songs in his set. His Christian songs really stand out.

For Rhia,
http://youtu.be/WzvQnezbzY4
http://youtu.be/7cRdgIZgobs

I have seen Lou Gramm a couple of times. First was back in 1990 with Steve Miller and again in 2010 with Sammy Hagar and John Waite. For the 2010 gig Lou was listed as the second act but instead came on first. The bands found out just how HOT Minnesota can get in July during an outdoor gig.
I think Lou did a 20 minute/30 minute set tops. Sammy kept calling for water! More water.

A little derailment is a good thing.

Ha - guess I missed answering this post till now....wow - that Foreigner flashback obsessing on my part several days ago was awesome!

They are simply one of those bands I will NEVER tire of no matter how much time passes since first hearing them. I think I had that song "I Want to Know What Love Is" in my head for at least 3 straight days and was even singing it around the house.

Which brings me to your karaoke proposition! I just may be down for doing Hot Blooded even though I've never done karaoke in my life. I think I'd have to be pretty drunk to do so - even though I've been told my singing voice is quite nice by those who have heard it.

Well, we shall see re this duet - you are most likely 70K bound in the future and I'm more likely Barge bound. Anyway - it's a nice thought!

Sorry to hear that Lou Gramm has had health issues. I recently youtubed recent performances and it seemed rather sad really....since he was such a strong vocalist and performer once and is no longer. :( On the other hand, my (fellow old-fart

) husband & I were amazed how great Roger Daltrey (68 years old) and Peter Gabriel (62) sounded this past fall doing Quadrophenia & So respectively so many years (40 & 25 roughly) later!! Certainly worth a toke (or many) in their honor those particular evenings.

@ Laura,
Thx and in a few weeks I will be seeing another '70s era ICON.
I will post it let's see if you wake up one morning with his music in your head. LOL.

Until then enjoy some more flashback memories.

I finally returned from my stroll in the Foreigner flashback park.

Next: 70K if I manage not to get arrested :-P

Haha....cool - let's see if I wake up with some ballad in my head of some other 70s icon - oh, and by the way - your link IS my favorite Foreigner/Lou Gramm ballad.

Speaking of ballads - saw a more "contemporary" balladeer and a relatively recent favorite of mine last night - Corey Taylor! (heading up Stone Sour) at the large Chicago venue called the Congress Theater. Really, really, really loved the show as I expected I would. Here's his most recent ballad called Taciturn. http://youtu.be/CZzR4mcbJio love the lyrics to this as well!

Of course - he's a very different kind of singer & personality than a Lou Gramm - but so awesome in his own way! Still can't believe he is "that Slipknot guy."

And oooh, la, la....next gig is next Sunday - the mighty Enslaved with the huge added plus - Royal Thunder! (who I've not seen before & looking forward to very much.)

....and p.s. to Tuup - can't believe that happened to you! :(

That SUCKS!
And you really don't want to get arrested in Dade County by the Miami PD.
I still remember the 2011 cruiser that got arrested during disembarking in Miami for calling certain member of the Miami PD a Bitch.

Last gig: Enslaved, Pallbearer, Royal Thunder, Ancient Wisdom last night at Reggie's! Stellar night of music all around and great to hang out with fellow 70K alum Nicole and hear about the cruise last week! Loved Royal Thunder as I expected I would...and got to meet Mlny & Josh at the merch desk later in the evening.

Pallbearer was outstanding as well - and then of course, Enslaved - who was just....wow (as always - it was my 5th time seeing them). Loved hearing songs off the new album especially. Grutle seemed to really be enjoying himself talking to the audience and such - he mentioned how Chicago has a special place in their memory because it was the first US city they ever played in (back in 1995 I believe he said). Fun! I arranged to take this morning off work because I knew it was going to be a late night (and it was!), but now I'm too pumped thinking about the show to want to go back and get more sleep. Ha.

I have a nice break until my next metal gig (although I'll attend several other performance events in the meantime) ...Meshuggah & Animals as Leaders on Feb 22 at House of Blues. I didn't know of AaL at all until recently and they are musically astounding to me. I've not totally warmed up to the music of Meshuggah after listening to several of their albums, but I'm very much looking forward to what I suspect will be a killer live show.

Yea, I enjoyed that show a lot. Especially Ancient Wisdom and Royal Thunder. Pallbearer wasn't my thing. When music is that slow live my mind wonders elsewhere. Enslaved was on point. I enjoyed them a lot even though I just saw them on BTH.

by **Daenerys** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 9:24 am

Gojira with DTP tonight. I know virtually nothing by either band so it'll be interesting. Happy to see that setlist.fm is showing DTP playing Juular, love that song

Next gig might be Flogging Molly in Vegas March 16th; if not, nothing until April

I'm in 100% agreement with you on this.
If you're gonna play stuff that slow and "droney" live, at least give it some

style vocals.

Although most in attendance at the Detroit show were like "What is this crap" for Ancient VVisdom and Royal Thunder, I found them both to be throughly enjoyable (and nice folks to chat with as well).

Next up for me is Graveyard tonight, then Gojira / Devin Townsend on Sunday.

Gojira is going to crush your soul. They are so heavy and powerful live you won't beleive what is happening

Yeah we looked for you, we thought you might be there. Luke was the only other person we knew who was there, we missed you! I suppose the next time we would see you would be at Anthrax?

DTP was AWESOME. I would totally support them being on broad; Brian made a great point of having DTP play one set and have the other be SYL

To be quite honest, Gojira bored me. Guess their stuff just really doesn't do it for me. Always good to see something different for a change though

That sucks.

Despite the large hipster population in attendance, I had a rockin' good time at the Graveyard and The Shrine show last night. The sound for both bands was about as perfect as it gets for that type of music. Cheers to whoever was working the sound.

Just got tickets to see Sabaton again on Saturday.

They're playing a TINY bar right next to my work that has a capacity of 150 (but that includes non-stage areas/the back patio, so maaaaaaaaaaybe 75-100 total tickets will be sold for this). Should be amazing.
Let's see if I can get a "BAND! BAND! BAND! BAND!" chant going. Or if I get totally made fun of.

Bringing the girlfriend to this too. Her first metal show
