Re: REVIEW - Jan 9th San Diego
^Sweat was NOT played tonight but I do agree with his sentiments about their performance sounding the best they've been in a long time etc.
Setlist was the same as night 1 in San Fran as shown below:
No Quarter
The Grudge
Parabol/a
Schism
Opiate (with extended middle part)
Aenema
Jambi (with 'Descending' intro for 3 or 4 mins)
46 & 2
-------
Danny drums/Adam synth thing etc.
Vicarious
Stinkfist (extended)
Overall, a very tight and ultimately enthusiastic performance, particular from MAYNARD which is really pleasing to see and hear. His vocals were loud and consistent and he made a few more jokes with the crowd. He seems re-energised and really adds a LOT more now with his vocals at a good volume. A lot of songs or parts of songs really come 'alive' when he hits a tricky vocal part. Many of those occurred tonight. Loved every moment.
Another bit worth mentioning:
* Danny added in a few different bits at the end of Descending. Having seen them all 3 times thus far thus tour, it kinda feels like they are adding to Descending with each show. It would be cool if by New Orleans or Florida that they add a few extra pieces in etc...
* Crowd on their feet all night even though the whole show was seated. Love when that happens.
* Watch out for the "metaphorically rape you" gag/routine in Opiate; it's a nice & weird addition.
