i agree. this show was much better than the november 2003 show. they warmed my stoner heart by doing a caustic resin tune.
i was also impressed by mike johnson. i heard one of his up records releases years ago and remember it being good, but not as good as what i heard tonight. it was very neil young-influenced, and i liked his guitar tone and approach (lots of delay and distortion). wonderful downer rock a la crazy horse and silkworm.
