who's going????

if you've never heard or heard of Clutch... man, go FIND OUT!! i see so many similar traits between them and PJ. constant varing of setlists, touring forever, respect for fans. plus, Clutch releases a new record every year! Beale St. just came out this year and in the fall they'll be writing a new one, recording it in the fall and releasing it next spring!

    my husband and i were going to go, as we try to make it to every show in the area of theirs....but he works till 8pm down by the pa/delaware state line...we would never make it in time. he's particularly bumbed about this, Clutch is his PJ.

    he probably would of taken off for it but he already too off to go to lollapalooza. But hopefully they will be back by christmas..or right after like they usually are. :)

  • I was just thinking... "Wow Clutch is awesome, I haven't listened to them in forever, they are so kick ass!!" then BAM.... i see this thread. I'm in ME I wish they were coming up this way. Their new album is phenominal, I'm loving the really bluesy sound.
    I was taught a month ago to bide my time and take it slow, but then I learned just yesterday to rush and never waste a day. Now I'm convinced the whole day long that all I've learned is always wrong. Things are true that I forget, but no one taught that to me yet

    i like the fact there there's some other C! fans on this board (even if it is in a Cornell thread!!!!)
    we will not hear Prison Planet or Mute Assassins. we'll get most of Beale St. plus Mob, Regulator, Who's Been Talking?/Gravel Road, Cypruss Grove, Promoter, Profits, Burning Beard, Mr. Flannery, Never be Moved, 10001110101, Mice & Gods, Slow hole, Oregon, Elephant Riders, Ship of Gold/Soapmakers and the new song King of Arizona. if you're luck (superlucky) you'll get Big News I or Texan.

    the only song i want to hear is La Curondera. my favorite song that they never play when i see them.

    i'll create a thread ... right now!

    And so you have.

    Hoodoo Operator was played a couple of times on the last leg, as was Dragonfly. Both of those would kick ass tomorrow night. Prison Planet and Texan were both played last night (along with JWB), so they seem fair game as well. Good call on La Curandera, it was in the rotation over the spring and early summer so this may be your chance.

    Here's a list of tunes that showed up over the late spring/early summer US dates:

    A Shogun Named Marcus

    Big News I
    Big News II

    Texan Book of The Dead
    Escape From The Prison Planet
    I Have The Body of John Wilkes Booth
    Animal Farm

    Elephant Riders
    Ship of Gold
    Soapmakers
    Dragonfly

    Pure Rock Fury
    Red Horse Rainbow

    Slow Hole To China
    Oregon
    Easy Breeze
    Hoodoo Operator

    Profits of Doom
    The Mob Goes Wild
    Cypress Grove
    Promoter

    The Regulator
    Army of Bono
    Swollen Goat
    La Curandera

    The Incomperable Mr. Flannery
    Burning Beard
    Mce & Gods
    Pulaski Skyway
    Never Be Moved
    10001110101
    Gravel Road
    Who's Been Talking

    all of Beale Street

    King of Arizona

    I'm hoping for any of the bold tune tomorrow, and the less Robot Hive, the better.

    I'm seeing them on the 10th. Will be my sixth time, totally lookin forward to it.
    They tour relentlessly.
    True veterans of the trade.
  • I've missed the last show they did in Toledo (I was ill), they are back in August, but I'm out of town. THis sucks!

    Clutch rocks.

    realistic songs i'd like to hear live:
    La Curondera
    WYSISYG
    10,000 Witnesses
    Never been Moved
    Muchas Veces
    I Have The Body of John Wilkes Booth

    the Vacant-i've seen all those other songs you listed (except for the Slow Hole songs).... every Clutch show is amazing and i'm sure this one will be no different.

    only thing is i'm suppose to go see the Phillies today but the weather looks shitty. BUT on weather.com it looks like it'll be clear by 1pm. i'll be at C! no matter what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I got a whole new appreciation for Never Be Moved at the Philly show back in May. A smoking version with Neil in full on demented preacher mode. The John Wilkes Booth from that night was pretty brutal too. Good stuff.

    WYSIWYG would be cool to hear, but when was the last time it saw the stage? By the way, did you know Bakerton Group is going to be in West Chester? May have to check that out.

    Not a lot of repeats last night as far as non-Beale Street tunes go. Dragonfly, Animal Farm, Slow Hole, Red Horse, Promoter, Cypress, Who's Been Talkling, and Curandera showed up. Non-Beale Street repeats were Elephant Riders, Mob, and Burning Beard.

    They're playing The Station in Portland on August 30. I know this because it's the closest show to Boston and my cousin and I are making the drive.

    Great gig last night. Backyard Tire Fire is a band I'll be looking into more. For their second song they started off with the Jeff Beck Group's Rice Pudding, before going into their song. Near the end of their set they threw in a cover of Steve Earl's F The CC, which was a trip. Year Long Disaster, on the other hand, started off alright, but grew old fast. Not a whole lot of dynamics to their sound, just power chords and screaming. I might have got into them 10 - 12 years ago, but not so much now.

    Clutch rocked. JP is a monster on the drums, and Neil is such a great frontman. Eric from Five Horse Johnson sat in on a number of songs to add harp. Maybe a few too many, but it was alright. Pretty strong set, we got the first El Jeffe Speaks in over a year or so. Caught my second Oregon on top of that. The new tune, King of Arizona, rocks. Pretty similar in sound to the Beale Street material. Some nice extened jams in Soapmakers and Cypress Grove. White's Ferry kicks ass in a psuedo early Iron Maiden kind of way. The interplay between Tim Sult and Brian Hinkley on that tune is tight, guitar madness. Did I mention Oregon? Such a killer tune. They really had a wall of sound effect going on there with Brian and Eric joining the band, while Neil's vocals were drenched in echo.

    The full set:

    Mice & Gods
    Profits of Doom
    King of Arizona
    You Can't Stop Progress -> Power Player
    The Devil & Me
    Soapmakers -> Drum Solo -> Burning Beard
    Gravel Road
    Oregon
    Cypress Grove
    The Mob Goes Wild
    White's Ferry
    El Jeffe Speaks -> Never Be Moved
    Electric Worry -> One Eye Dollar

    robot hive kicks ass.. how come you dont want to hear any!
  • The VacantThe Vacant Posts: 271
    Never really got into that album. Gravel Road kicks tons of ass, but most of the disc just feels like a 2nd rate Blast Tyrant to me. Kind of hard to follow up an album as stellar as Blast Tyrant though. Next to it, just about any follow up would be a bit of a letdown. Not too fond of a lot of Neil's lyrics on RH/E as well. Although, like I said above, Never Be Moved (and Burning Beard) are growing on me.

    I'd rather see the set filled with more tunes from the Clutch, Elephant Riders, and Slow Hole To China albums than RH/E tunes.

    great show last night!! Mice & Gods is such a good opener with the call and response "Fire It Up" x3). Gravel Road was CRUSHING. i'm a little sick of Cypruss and Mob though, i was hoping for Ridley Walker, Child of the City, Caddy and La Curondera.
    Year Long Disaster was a very decent opener, not great but decent.
    so fucking hot and sweaty in there.. and smokey. i left before Marcus.. oh well.

    A will agree with Eric playing to much. I wasn't at that show, but the last time I caught them, he came in and played about 3 or 4 songs. He is a local guy here in toledo

    so fucking hot and sweaty in there..

    How was Dan up there in that flannel shirt for the whole Cluch set? He had to have been dying in that heat.
    i was hoping for Ridley Walker, Child of the City, Caddy and La Curondera

    I would have liked Child of The City instead of Devil & Me. I hear you on Mob getting played out. Cypress stays fresh with the jams in the middle though. Caddy is a monster live. They need to do another 2 set, evening with type tour. They have too vast of a catalog for 90 minute sets.
    Gravel Road was CRUSHING.

    Yes, yes it was. It and Oregon may have been the best one-two punch of the night.
  • AnonAnon Posts: 11,175
    did anyone catch before Clutch came out they were playing some old TREE? Brian Hinkley's old band!! great to hear that stuff again. i'm pretty sure it was Tree.. .maybe Drug War (Dave's-singer from Tree-last band.. don't think it was them though).

    Oregon sounded a LOT better live than on record. plus, ...man, that band is so tight. JP is a monster and i was watching Dan the whole time.. that guy just grooves on bass. i would much rather see Clutch at the Silo in Reading or at the Troc in Philly. Lancaster's setup is HORRIBLE! there's no good place to see the band comfortably. the best place to be is right in front in the pit but it's like a Iraqi jail down there. i was up in the balcony but with my view i only saw half the band. oh well.
