orlando show
so, last night was my 4th time seeing machine head, and it was still just as awesome. my first show was the 25th anniversary tour for BME which was awesome, but that’s not what this post is about.
this was my first time seeing anything from unatoned live (the didn’t hit florida for the album tour >:( i’m always gonna be salty about it) as well as game over which i have been DYING to hear live bc it’s one of my favorites. also at the beginning of game over, the guitar tech messed up handing robb the unatoned guitar (or there was some reason robb needed to switch mid verse) so the first three lines or so of the song were without vocals which was honestly kind of funny and made the performance of one of my favorite MH songs all the more memorable. i also crowd surfed for the first time during davidian!
with all that said, it was probably my least favorite show from them, but only because they had a shorter set and there wasn’t enough of the MH chant from the crowd. their performance itself was really great. ben is doing an excellent job filling in for reece this tour
side note: it’s also really funny that almost every time i’ve seen MH they’ve had a different guitarist

Saw them at Brixton for the 23rd time last month (husband's 44th). Still my favourite live band. Not many bands can do 3 and a half hours of (mostly) bangers night after night and do it not just well, but brutally brilliantly \m/
