Don't mind the other review I posted, it is unfinished. it didn't copy and paste right, and you can't delete reviews for some reason...

 

Disclaimer:This is a typed reaction to either a live or pre-recorded show. I do not go back and edit, or reread anything. I'm doing this for fun. I also might be too drunk & stoned to even want to attempt editing. So, I'm never doing it. If you do it once, people will start to expect things from you. There will be misspelled words, bad grammar, incoherent babbling, incompletely sentences, and odd thoughts in there. If you have a problem with that, I will fight you. <3

My name is Brody. Just a odd duck from the midwest who loves rock music from top to bottom. This is a fun way I've recently found that helps me stay engaged almost competely to the show. I don't care if zero people read these. <3


November 6, 2024 "Experimental Rave Show" @ The Regency Ballroom · San Francisco, CA, USA


Setlist: Theia -> The Silver Cord -> Set -> Chang'e -> Gilgamesh -> Swan Song -> Extinction, Intrasport
 
Set/Setting: Thursday Nov 7th. 1:42 pm. My all responsibilities for the day are complete. Work was straight. Got home around 10 am, ate breakfast took the best boy in the whole world on our nature walk. 3.5 miles today. Picked up some Three Floyd's to enjoy for the show. Got the bong pack and ready to roast right when I start up the set. So, pretty chill day. Dinner after the show is #1 struggle/drunk/lazy/white trash meal. 4 beef banquet pot pies. Snack during the show: Halloween Candy I took from work. Classy. 


First thoughts: This is the bands first every all rave set. Pretty excited. One of the biggest reason I love this band is they are not to dive deep into experimentation. I might have seen that the Swan song is banger, but it normally is. I'm pumped for a nasty GILLLLLLAGMESH. God Luck, and Good speed boys. Time to crack and beer and roast the bong as I hit play. lets go!

Show Start:

The Sorcerer's Table awaits The Working Wizards.  

Shout out to Chris Dempsey on YT. (https://www.youtube.com/@Dempsee) I watch all the streams after the fact on his recordings. Thanks Big Dog. 

Amby: It's time to rave. T lights them up. Joey talks about his Bullant set. I might watch it and react to it for a bonus maybe? only time will tell.

Theia: Cavs starting out on the gongs. Oooooo yah.I threw some ice in the neck of my bong for those ice cold fatties. This is just a cool show. Legendary room. I cant wait for FoV. They will do a rave set for sure. I will be there pumping. Stu throws setlist into crowd already? about the time he does that. the fucking song takes off. I love that they just out here getting after it. Inspiring really. I respect the fearlessness of it. They really start to take off. Really fucking sick. 

They said some things, but I was ripping the bong and kind of missed it. I could stop and go back. but I'm not really into that.  

The Silver Cord: Booom boom booom booom. They got that place thumping right now. The table is amazing looking. Right from light to dark in the song. Lets see where this goes. Lucas and Joey getting down and dirty on the table. Cavs comes in. Cutting the edge into the synth with this beats. 1.5 beers in. 1 bong. The candy didn't stand a chance. Smashed. all the candy is gone. its wasnt much really. Jazz drums outta Cavs. Sounding super ravey right now. Rave Matthews Bands. They show ther crowd. its going bonkers. I would be too if I was there and I was hearing this live. I popped a frozen mini snickers in my mouth and burst into dance. It was magical. That was the final piece of candy. Back to beers.  

Cavs set in blue. Set get it. comes we bout to slay the mighty Set. I saw this song in Chicago and It ruled. Very much so. This one shouldn't disapoint. 

Set: Nice faatttttt bass line to open with. Dancing for this one for sure. Oh yeah, this thing is popping off. and it isn't the candy talking. Amby kills vocal part. I m a straight man, but I would kiss Ambrose Kenny-Smith on the mouth. What ever you are thinking right now if its negative, you wouldn't say to my face. trust me. LOL Amby says: Pump up the jam! pump it up!" Joey yells something. The drop is monsterous. Place is all jumpy. Damn its been an hour already?? Getting a little spacey. I think I heard Han-Tyumi Lucas on bass guitar, and joey on his novo guitar. Adds a lot of depth with them on strings. Joe laying it down. Love to see it. Song falls off into some dark place suddenly. Stage in blue. Joey cutting back threw the darkness. Cavs and Lucas Come slamming back in along with the rest of the boys. Cavs just crushing it. Love the guy. Very gnarly Set. He has been slain.  

Joey says something and walks off. Amby says hey, lets get weird. I'm down. Cavs plays with the camera. Then smashes the gong. rides it and slams it 7 times. wow. I wont forget that. Gongs mean a lot to me. lolololol. wtf m i=I talking about. 

Chang'e: Joey still on guitar. Stu holding it the down. Crowd looks like they are having a time of their lives. I hope I get to hear CookieDawg69's voice before the end of stream. Ill be bummed. I sound so fucking unhinged hahahahahahaha. I m. I m unhinged. since birth. Maybe it was after I fell 3 stories 1 day after my 4th bday and survived. <3. Fuck yes, a witchcraft vocal tease. with voice box and clean. gnarly. OMG cookie vocals but its jjst noise. lololool.  

Gilgamesh: Cookie opens into gilgamesh. fuck yes. Oh, this is sounding very sweet to start. Getting some really good beeep booops. Bass just crushing. I was hoping for a sick meshhhh, and I think they are dropping it. on beer thrice, packing bong. GILLLLLGAMESH! Lucas humping the table. love to see it. Like. LOVE to see it. <3. Gila tease. Amby putting his 1 good arm to good use on the tamborine. Cavs looking crispy. sweet dark part of the song with a long of vocal loop. very cool. ALL WIZARDS WORKING! Pre heating oven for whitetrashmeal. I m what I m. I Cook 90% of all my meals. Who m I talking to? no one. 

Ambrose says something idk. into SS. He calls them the Raves Matthrews Band. I got it from reddit. reddit probably got in from them.  

Swan Song: ok lets go. Reddit said this was a banger. Bass blasting. Amby: kills it yet again. Young Rock Legend. I'm a fan for life. Dude just got flavor. and Just adds so much flavor to king gizz imo. no diddy. sick pumper after stu's lyrics. song is going double time. going wild. Amby huge smile. Crowd going wild. Pot pies, in the oven. Im gross. Lucas has his stank face on. Cook, joe, stu, lucas all getting after it. Joey moves to new location on table. Saving thr rest of beer for next show. I always must be chilly on the beers. 

Ambrose, asks if the table was a good investment, crowd goes wild.

Extinction: Fuck yes, more GONG! They insinuate about the election. I get they are political and im down for that. Amby pretty much syas lets party. lets dance. its true. They trying to the bring the song together. Ambrose has no part. and he let the crowd know lolol. Song is really juicy. I'm gonna make some bread sticks with my shit meal. with Brioche bread. see. fancy, Joey says lets going crazy. I'm in. I like crazy. They be getting busy. Very nice. Stu out front power stancing. ALL WIZARDS WORKING. Very out there right now. but some how together. been the theme of the night. The drop is nasty. end of song was very sweet. 

Stu and amby say thanks. looks like they got told 1 more song. they dont play 2 songs on their setlist. i know is grim reaper which would have been so sick.

Intrasport: Cavs is standing dancing.I started to melt some butter and seasoning for the bread sticks. that was sweet. 

they end, Cookie tells us he loves us <3. Amby talks the crowd up. Fun night. 


Final thoughts: Cool show. I think I would pay to go see live. I m definitly going to check it out if they do a rave set at FoV.
