Kings Of Leon

Just got back Kings Of Leon. They played a fantastic show.

Opening band 1: The Helio Sequence. Two guys, drums and guitar/harmonica playing to backing tracks. Not bad but not something I'd see myself listening to.

Opening band 2: Secret Machines. These guys played too long. Some of the songs had their moments and then they'd go into these almost dirge like slow spacy music. Not good. And they played well over an hour longer than they needed to. Their set must have been 2 hours and was much longer than KOL.

KOL: They rocked. Last time I saw them, and heard them for the first time, was at Bonnaroo 2004. On the way to the show Darian said she wanted to hear Molly's Chambers. She got it as the opening song in their set. They played a strong 75 minute set.

It was Jacki's birthday so I was glad she enjoyed their set.

Darian scored a setlist after the show.

This past Monday night I was able to catch Primus in Atlanta. Really good show. It had been some time since I had seen a full on pit in the crowd and now in my slightly older days I nestled in nicely in the balcony with my binoculars.

Les is an absolute freak on stage in a good way. Tim Alexander was so smooth on the drums. Nice and large double bass kit but he played effortlessly throughout.

Primus is recording and releasing every show online so I was able to purchase my download of the Atlanta show earlier tonight. Southbound Pachyderm was killer.
