The band’s headlining debut at the Gorge, this show had a ton of hype going in. Rattlesnake appointed lead off is perfect for big gigs and this one delivers jam wise. Stu on acoustic microtonal for ONE & Sleep Drifter was different. FMB back out for Open Water, a great version at that. Following Open Water with Magma is bold setlist construction that I really dig.
Lord of Lightning -> the Balrog is spectacular, especially the -> Balrog. Highlight of the show imo.
LOYALTY is similarly a top tier version.
The synth table section felt extremely rushed, all very short versions. Pretty forgettable. King Gizzard played 29 songs here at the Gorge which is a bit more than a usual marathon (24-25 songs).
The actual crowd barricade breaks towards the end and necessitates a pause during Venusian 1. We are then treated to an a cappella Vegemite, which was a nice improv on the spot for the fans. Metal to close.
Highlights: Rattlesnake, Open Water, Lord of Lightning -> the Balrog, Inner Cell -> Loyalty -> Horology, Vegemite
