well well, a most interesting concert.
black mountain was very good indeed. though their albums do not really touch me, their live performance was outstanding.
if you ever have a chance to see them, dig that style of music but dont really like their CDs, go there anyway. it worked for me :)
after black mountain, the crew began to prepare the stage for helmet. that was when most people left :)
like i expected, black mountain and helmet have very different fanbases, most black mountain fans did not listen to helmet, and vice versa.
fortunately for me, i like both styles so i got more out of my ticket than most.
when helmet started i was a bit perplexed because it was BAD. i then concluded that this was because of the big musical gap between what black mountain are doing in comparison to helmet:
this harsh, raw, purposedly dissonant music that helmet is doing did not sound RIGHT after a band like black mountain.
so me and my accompagnee needed some songs to get into it. then the concert was quite nice.
yes, it was quite nice: nothing more. helmet is not really a live band in my opinion.
plus i was astonished to find out that all songs were performed in higher tuning than on the album. i now suspect they remaster all their songs in the studio to make them sound lower than they are actually done.
what was nice about both concerts was that i felt so young:
most people in the audience were older or same age than me.
this is something i do not experience very often anymore at concerts :)
thats it.!
regards & good luck in dealing with your daily life
