Glad to see GGW and Bearman got tix -- during Delta Force (I know, I know, Delta Spirit -- I like Delta Force better!), they were a mere four people away from each other.
I was up in the balcony. Not my normal spot, but I'm glad I was there -- all three bands were fascinating to watch. ALL had extra percussion (Delta had trash can tops and a big bass drum on its side that players would womp on; Tokyo had a snare for "outside the drum kit" womping; and Cold War started the show with the guitarist banging on a cymbal on a stool with a maraca). By the way, both Delta and Cold War drummers used a maraca as a drum stick for part of their sets.
I didn't know any of these bands, and it was a fascinating show. They all played with each other on certain songs in each set, and to some extent while the music of each band was different, their styles of playing meshed amazingly. Welcome the herky jerky guitar dancing!
While I'm not sure I'll love the albums from any or all of the bands, I loved the show. We'll see how I do with them on record.
