Toadies - No Deliverance

Toadies have also been added to Buzzfest for October 26th in Houston, so they will be coming back just two months later.

Only shitty part is they are playing the mainstage for 45 minutes! I wish they were headlining. Hell they headlined Buzzfest 96. The rest of the line up doesn't interest me much. The Offspring are headlining again (they headlined in 2001). It would be cool to see them I think but really I don't like anything they have done after "ixnay on the hombre." Do they even play stuff from "smash" or do they just sort of half ass it now. (I mean, just have an attitude like "Let's get these songs over with" so they can concentrate on new stuff. Should I pay an outrageous ticket price (I'm expecting about 40 face for lawn) to see the Toads play 45 minutes?

the new album should be kickass. haven't heard it yet, but i saw them last month at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC, and they played a handful of new songs. They rock really hard.
Here's one that I videoed. It was really hard to stand still.

Can't wait to see them at Webster hall in November!
peace

A friend of mine is hounding me to see them next month in Portland. I'm only familiar with Rubberneck. Which I think kicks major rock ass.

What are their live shows like?

Their live shows are better than their albums, not to say their albums are great, cause they are. But, their live show kicks ass. And they're playing pretty much all of Rubberneck on this tour. Do yourself a favor and pick up their other two albums - "Hell Below/Stars Above" and "No Deliverance". Also, track down their soundtrack songs, especially "Paper Dress"; it's on the Crow: City of Angels soundtrack.

Cool. It's even a Saturday night. I'm not sure how much better that is going to get.

The band takes pics and meets all the fans after the show, so you will get your stuff signed. (They have done this everytime I have seen them). Only one time, did the Toadies not sign stuff, but it was 10,000 drunk assholes at a st Patricks day party and security was being ridiculous. Everytime, I saw the Burden Brothers they always signed stuff though and the last two times the Toadies did. Houston was lucky enough to get an acoustic set live at hard rock cafe' last time as a pre show.

Awesome record!!!! Love the classic rock sound. PJ needs to do this, more of a classic rock sound, meaning more Mike solo's!!!

Lukin Fan- The show in Tallahassee is still pending. I think it probably will happen. It takes alot of time when booking shows, and shows are being booked everyday I'm sure as Buzzfest just popped up 3 or 4 days ago. I will notify you as soon as I know its been officially confirmed- hopefully it will be. I will have a review of tonights show in here when I get back.

Edit: I just realized Brain of E posted an identical review. I just cut and pasted mine from the Toadies board. I'm ready to crash. I'll probably sign up with photo bucket so you guys can see the pics. The on stage pics are probably really shitty.

Hey Rock fans: The Toadies are back and they are on fire. They are truly one of the best live bands touring right now and I am telling you if you have the chance to see these guys in concert do it! One of Texas's greatest bands proves that you can go your separate ways for awhile and do other music endeavors and then come back to pick up right where you left off. The Toadies are a band that have that gift.

I don't even know really where to begin to start on how awesome my evening was personally, but here goes: I want to try to recapture everything for those of you who enjoy my reviews.

Soundcheck: Due to a misunderstanding with the sound guy I almost got booted out before the soundcheck, but Sean (and he kicks major ass) came to the rescue and got everything squared away.

Soundcheck set:
No deliverance, ZZ top riffs, Unattractive, and Dollskin.

I got to meet Rez first and we talked about the PK show and how awesome it is gonna be.
Clark and Doni came by next ad signed the new disc as well, and we talked about life and the music business (Cause I am hoping to make that my life career. I love music, and everyone that knows me knows that already.
Vaden was doing an interview, so I saw him about 10 minutes later. We talked about Lollapalooza and the PK show. Vaden said they didn't get to see any bands cause it was a busy busy weekend for the Toads with interviews and stuff.

The show:
Mr. Love
I come from the water
Little sin
So long lovely eyes
Happy face,
Backslider
sweetness
Nothing to cry about
away
push the hand
Possum Kingdom
Mexican Hairless
Plane crash

Dollskin
Quitter
Encore:
_____
Paper Dress
Tyler

The set was identical to the college station one (maybe Identical) Thanks to I amplatonium6 for posting that.

The crowd was alot calmer on the floor than usual. I think Todd said something (I'm paraphrasing this) like Rock out but respect each other" something like that. The pit was mainly down in front maybe like 15 people or so. They were so calm during "Tyler" usually all hell breaks loose.

Ran into Matt from the Lions at the merch booth again, and we went back to the tour bus and the band was signing a few things for those waiting.
I also wished Vaden a happy Birthday. (It's coming up). Well that was a recap of my 4rth Toadies show. A HUGE thank you to Kirtland Records as always and Sean (Thanks bud, you kick ass).

The openers:
Riverboat Gamblers: great punkish sound and very energetic set. They kind of sound like AGAINST ME! If I had to compare them to something.

The Lions- For those of you who get to see them with the Toads you are in for a treat. Great classic rock sound. "No Generation" is a must have record. I think they sound like Zeppelin a bit musically and vocally, but I have also read some Rage Against the Machine comparisons- sorry just don't hear the RATM sound in them.

The encore was weird the way they broke it up this time, but the whole show was bad ass. Looking forward to Buzzfest.

Here's the setlist from the Dia de los Toadies shindig. Nice to see "Unattractive" back in the setlist. I read "Jigsaw Girl" was on the setlist for the encore, but they skipped it. Wish I could've gone.

Mexican Hairless
Happy Face
Plane Crash
So Long Lovey Eyes
Push the Hand
Away
Sweetness
Backslider
Nothing to Cry About
Quitter
Little Sin
I am A Man of Stone
No Deliverance
Possum Kingdom
Song I Hate
I Burn
Dollskin
Mr Love
I Come From the Water

Encore:
Paper Dress
