I tried to figure out how to listen but didn't figure it out. I can see that I would've enjoyed some of it in a big way and the rest of it maybe not at all but who knows. So much banjo.
It's great that y'all got to hear it and enjoy it.
What a fun show. Couldn't believe it. Perfect mix of kick ass music played very well combined with over the top production and theatrics. These guys can play some mean rock n roll.
I'm not a rassling fan, but I know it's out there and what it's about, and I loved the way Billy and crew reveled in the ridiculousness of it last night while making some top-notch music.
There are a few lines from Hide and Seek that I think provide a meta-style insight into why this band is having such a prolonged moment right now providing us with a joy-filled haven:
Well it’s a dark time I do believe
A cold winds a blowin' at my door
Incredible light I'm gonna find
Where I don’t have to worry anymore
I've never liked that Chumbawumba song until last night. Molly MF Tuttle! That was rad! The women really took the music over the top in both sets. Sierra Hull looked incredible, so badass, and was fantastic! I can't wait to re-listen to Rusty Cage>Voodoo Chile>Rusty Cage
Judit, this show was probably too Metal for you \m/
I loved the campy theatrics and costumes. They really put a lot into the production, and Billy on electric is so great for a "you don't see that every day!" treat..He rips :) What a fun show!
> it was all just music (with theatrics and banjos).
Those darn banjos.
I'm guessing Dise was referring to the Metallica tune, judit. I was never a fan of theirs, but BIlly's version of Enter Sandman really got my attention.

I just loved the sweet Sierra Hull comin' out acting like a mean ass bitch. Glares back to the camera as she walks away. I loved it. So not like her.
Not a fan of WWF at all, but it was a fun show.

This comment confused me, Dise. Metal? I didn't notice that, it was all just music (with theatrics and banjos).
