on monday i had the honor of watching dead meadow play live in vienna.
for everybody not knowing them, and i am most certain most, if not all readers are in that category, go, get a cd and listen to it!. .... well, ok actually to be honest i am pretty sure if you do that without being into psychedelic or stoner rock you wont like them, they are quite a heavy intro to that genre. you could try it anyway i am pretty sure it helps a lot when you are stoned ;)
ok, back to the gig. it was in the arena, in my opinion the best place to play for a band in whole vienna
(and bands like bad religion and color haze agree with that) and the band started at about 10PM. the band that played before them were a local austrian band which meant that they sucked like nearly every austrian band does. unfortunately.
but at ten o'clock dead meadow began, and they are actually, as expected, a great live band. they performed for about 1,5 hours with many many songs with lengths of 10+ mins.
too bad there were quite few people. what a shame for such a great concert! the plus of this was that it wasnt too crowded and you could chill quite comfortable. at about the middle of the concert i was able to start me up from a light - into a medium deep trance which lasted till the end. good job boys ;)
after the concert i then had to find out that the band did not have any more cds to sell. really a shame. this has to be a blessing and a curse for a band if you run out of cds to sell on the tour:
a) it means, great many people liked your albums and you sold all that you produced,
but b) it means that there are EVEN MORE people who'd like to buy a cd and you do not have any meaning you dont get their money....
still, i think i will buy their latest album from amazon.
on thuesday i then had another concert, but maybe i ll tell some other time bout that
