Trail of Dead played the entire set with as much finesse as energy. Each member has a unique stage presence, and they played each song with passion and intensity, managing to hit all the correct notes.
I've seen these guys several times and this was one of the best small venue concerts that I've ever seen. The opening acts were awesome. You could tell that the Trail of Dead were excited about playing their old stuff and were having a good time on stage. The energy was electric and I really enjoyed the show. I've already turned on my friends that don't know about this band....
An unforgettable night. The crowd energy was high and positive, which fed the band and made for a great interplay. Numerous times they commented on that. The mosh pit was full throttle but no one was throwing elbows, people picked each other up if they fell. The set list was PERFECT imo. Of course hearing every track on Source Tags was what we all came for, but the other ~7 songs were all killer choices as well, such as Will You Smile Again, Clair de Lune, Bells of Creation, Caterwaul, and A Perfect Teenhood. What surprised me the most was how good Conrad sounded. Sorry you know we love you but I've seen shows before when you were just way off-key the entire night. This was different - he was on point. Sure he strains for the high notes just like we expect but he gave it the old college try, not like those musicians who re-write all their melodies to avoid trying.
Incredible energy put forth to showcase an amazing album.
You feel like the band truly appreciates that you came out, and they rock as hard as they possibly can. If you are even reading this you probably realize these are not pitch-perfect singers, but they are hard rocking poets with creativity and a deep catalog of hits from their many amazing studio albums, and they aren't too pretentious to play the songs you want to hear. I was treated to favorite after favorite from albums many have forgotten, but not the lively crowd at Irving which was whipped into a mosh pit frenzy during some of the faster songs. They may not have 2 drummers on tour anymore but they still make plenty of beautiful noise.
The show was excellent. I feel like the promotion for the show could have been better, there should've been more people there, ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead are unbelievably good musicians and their songs are diverse, epic and solid! Great show!
Always love the Trail of Dead. Good venue too. Check em out next time, kids.
Let's start with this: I went to the show to see Mumiy Troll only. We got the the venue at 8:05pm and they were playing already. Apparently they were opening!!! It's like U2 going to Russia and opening for some new band not too many people know about. Nonsense! Then MT got done playing at 8:40. So I got 35 minutes of my favorite band for $23. Not too cheap, is it? But I actually got lucky that I saw them at all. Few friends of mine who got to the venue after 8:30 - got to see MT for few minutes or did not get to see them at all. I felt a bit disappointed and I bet so did most of other people who came to see MT.
Mumiy Troll only played 3-4 songs and left. The rest of the bands were below average, so I left the concert.
Great show! Great Venue!!! Trail of Dead played some great new songs and lots and lots of great old songs that the fans love to hear over and over again!!!
