| Hmmm... interesting that you would say that about their set list. It was kind of short. Though they didn't really play very many of the 'hits'. The crowd was full of jerks (people throwing crap, as Detroit crowds are wont to do). Ler nearly got nailed a with shoe thrown from way back in the audience. Les actually spent a sizable portion of the show near the wings and out of the lights. He didn't talk to the audience at all which I found to be odd.
They played their first set, played a lot of what I would consider their B-string hits: Groundhog's Day, To Defy the Laws of Tradition, Here Come the Bastards, Shake Hands with Beef, American Life, etc. Then for their encore they came out, blasted through Jerry was a Race Car Driver and that was it. Then, no bow, no "thank you Detroit", no nothing, they just all waved as they left the stage. I got the distinct impress that the crowd had pissed them off and they just didn't want to play anymore. The set was about an hour and a half. Didn't play My Name is Mud, Too Many Puppies, Tommy the Cat, Lacquerhead, and plenty of others I'd love to have heard. Though if the crowd was ticking them off (people throwing shoes at me would tick me off), it just sucks for the majority of us who got screwed as a result.
At any rate, they were extremely tight and solid as I expected. Claypool is a monster and did not disappoint. I just wished I could've gotten a little more banter out of him. (I would've loved for him to comment on the recent elections because I know he's uber liberal). The light show was incredible, one of the best I've seen. They had these lights that could switch between a really distinct beam of light to very 'fuzzy' like someone dropped a photoshop filter on the stage, and could do it in time. I've seen those lights before because I'd seen what I call the 'candy cane effect' where they have a color banded with white spinning like stripes on a candy cane. But I've never seen them do the fuzzy/unfuzz thing. That was awesome.
Great show, wish it was longer. Wish the crowds here weren't toolboxes. |
