A Perfect Circle - Live

Last night was the A Perfect Circle concert.. and .. WHOA.

Easily one of the best live shows i have ever seen, which is funny because until last night i’m sure the Tool concert last year stood up to be the crowned-king forever. Don’t get me wrong, the Tool concert was a life-altering occasion, but last night seemed much more intimate, much more user-friendly. The band sounded great, maynard’s voice was just terrific, the light show was interesting but also showed the band quite a lot (it was weird getting good glimpses of maynard, especially compared to his more secretive floor-show for Tool concerts). Meanwhile, Josh Freese over on the drums was amazing. The guy easily had the best live-drum sound i have ever heard! Every floor-tom hit was like a deep-resounding boom that shook the room, and his fills just sounded excellent every single time .. very very impressive.

What was a bit funny was the volume, in that it was extremely loud, into the realm of pain loud. Daev and I were quite near the front, but after 1 and a half songs the front-stack of speakers was just hammering our heads so much we decided to move further back to near the sound-desks, i don’t think i’ve ever heard such a loud show before.

My favourite songs?
The Outsider
The Nurse Who Loved Me
The Package
The Noose
Blue
The Hollow
Brena..
ah stuff it.. all of the tracks were fucking excellent!

Oh yes it was so good! I agree with most of the fav’s you chose, especially Brena & The Hollow! If only we could have more, more…
Only two months till Radiohead. I wish you were coming to that. Not to worry, I’m sure you’ll live.

i was not crazy for a perfect circle live. i saw them a couple of years ago. coincidentally, that show was toooo loud as well. the speakers/loudness/bass was giving me heart palpitations and general chest spasms (surprisingly no headache)!
