Playlist for May 9th
THE Neurosis Gig
Finding my way through Kokos for the first time was a complete maze- staircases led different directions & up into multiple floors corridors. Out in the smoking area one found themselves situated on a patio directly below the huge lit sign glowing 'Koko'. Heading inside, and after refusing to pay £8 for a double mix, I guarded my cozy spot on the 3rd floor like no man's business, ready to be awed. Couldn't say I was too smitten by Daniel Higgs, but I digress...
The amazing performance put on by Neurosis was only enhanced by the visualizations projected behind the band. Although I couldn't see them for myself from my spot on the balcony (quite a shame), whenever I was able to catch a glimpse from the convenient screens fixed above I could feel the power of the images. This promo for 'Given To The Rising' (their latest album from 2007) paints a very accurate picture of what the gig was like.
While my favorite concerts list continues to grow, this Neurosis gig holds a special place. The raw intensity I've always known existed in their music now holds only part of my attention as I've just begun to realize the dark beauty that lies within it as well.
Setlist (to the best of my knowledge):
At the End of the Road
The Doorway
*Unknown New Song*
Given to the Rising
The Web
Locust Star
Water Is Not Enough
Distill (Watching the Swarm)
not a very good one (for video quality, that is)
Stones from the Sky
Through Silver In Blood
and up close ;)
...a gig I was most definitely not disappointed by ;)
