Will do boys. Pretty great start to 2022.
Marcus Miller / David Sanborn & Tool, both from front row center, then ATW.
Atw happened yet ?
Sorry Busty, I actually thought I had posted my review.
It was the tits!
Well worth the wait to see those boys. Absolutely stellar show, start to finish. Ben is a guitar god, just stunning to be standing feet away from that dude just shredding. We are not worthy. Rhythm section, solid as fuck. Bass seems simplistic and supportive as you'd expect from a lead singer/bassist, but he's playing some sneaky tough lines counter to the Vox. Love his FrankenRick (you can see it in the pics). They are now touring with keys/violin, and he adds some nice texture. There was a point towards the end of the set where he was trading licks with Ben, and you could see the potential for him to have a bigger role.
If you get the chance don’t miss them, All Them Witches live is extremely satisfying. They are one of those bands that's an automatic ticket purchase every time they play nearby.
Here's a few choice pics from the show.

haha pretty delayed reply from me sorry bro. Yeh they always had a keyboardist man, the fellow you saw was in the original line up, left the band in about 2017 or so, they recruited a replacement for about 18 months before he left, they turned into a 3 piece and now the original fella has returned. Man I can't fucking wait to see these guys live hey, every report I've had of them is they are amazing. If ya haven't checked out their new release live on the internet from their lock down show they streamed in 2022, get on it. Killer performance. ,

Got a chance to chat with Parks (frontman / bass player). Won't lie, not overly proud of this one at all, in that I fanboyed waaaay to hard. Listening back makes me cringe , waffled on way to much with my questions, laughed to much and was to quick to skip to next question and basically cut him off. Was nervous fuck ya, but anyways here's a link all the same.
That was very cool Busty, not half as bad as you implied. I’m a little hurt you didn’t mention my review, but I’ll let it slide
Thanks for sharing it. That dude seems completely chill. Can’t wait to see them again.

haha sorry mate, forgot to mention it in my excitement of chatting with him.
Yeah he was a top fella, the convo itself actually went well, was a video zoom call, could tell he was having a good time with it, but listening back just makes me cringe for the most part man. Cheers bloke.

What was that muffled sound in the background, like something was being stroked?

What can I say, the combo of sea eagles being on equal competition points with the knights coupled with the fact I was chatting with Parks just did things to me.
Game on thursday night ai

Two nights down, and despite the long drive to SF and back, time well spent. I always love experiencing full albums performed by great bands. It’s not that common. This is a tiny (250 peeps) venue. I’ve been up front both nights, hanging with heavy ATW fans who have hit 30 plus shows.
There were PLENTY of skulls on black tees in the crowd, HB
Tonight may be the most interesting show overall, even though Lightning was my favorite of the 3 studio albums.

Don't think I've ever been more jealous of someone in my life of a gig they're seeing. If we weren't on ling service leave travelling Aus I would've flown over to S.F for all three shows. You lucky lucky bastard! Hope night 3 slays also mate

It was probably the best of the 3 Busty. Even though it’s not my favorite album, it was so interesting to see them do it live. Parks came out before doors opened and spent about 20 minutes talking to us in the line. Really nice, genuine guy. Took a picture with us. I had a blast, and I told him I would have loved a 4th night with Nothing as the album. He laughed, but said they will likely do this again with their other releases and the Baker’s Dozen tracks. Wish you could have made it.

250 peeps at Bottom of the Hill. Stage is tiny.
Yeah, hope they go to Oz soon Busty. Such a great live band.
I wish more bands I like would do the whole album residencies more often. I’ve been lucky enough to see Smashing Pumpkins, APC and at least one other do it. How great would this be from Tool while they can still pull it off.
BTW I’d choose Lateralus, Ænema and Undertow. But I’d take what I could get…

In fairness I think most fans would pick those three really. And yep big fan of bands doing that too. I'm hoping for cog to do the new normal & just visiting ep's one day. Had tix for karnivool with sound awake but then covid.
