I ventured into NYC last night to see death metal originators, Obituary. These guys have been around since 1985 and I didn’t want to pass up a chance to see them.
They delivered what I expected – a wall of pure, driving fury. Great band to see live.
Overall, though, I'd rate the show a 6/10. They only played for an hour, which of course left out many songs you wanted to hear. Also, I would have loved to have seen them with guitarist Allen West or James Murphy, instead of the new guy.
It was my first time at this club (The Blender). Nice, small place to see a show. The floor was about the same size as Toad's, maybe smaller. And, they had some elevated theater seating in the back for anyone who wanted to sit. Here's a pic the band posted on its site earlier yesterday:
I took this picture from the pit. I also took some cool video clips, but the audio is just loud static from my cheap cell phone.
Tonight, they're playing at the Palladium in Worcester, MA for anyone up north who wants to check them out.
Unbelieveable show last night in NY City! This was our first time playing at the Blender Theatre and I found my new favorite club! This place is a great place to play and see a show! NY we really need to thank you all for coming out and making one of the best shows of the tour! We had a lots of friends show up and the party did not want to end until the sun was coming up!
What a beautiful drive we had coming up to MA this moring. The trees are all starting to turn colors and the temperature is starting to cool down! Worchester is a great city to play in and we look forward to our show tonight at the Palladium!
Here are a few vids of the show. Some better quality than others.
