I looked first thing this morning! That show last night would have been something special. Those two songs to close the set! Good grief! I need to hear that Because The Night cover!

I really hope WOD hit the road in 2020, too!

That's great to know. Thanks. GO4IT was at one of the shows, and he said they were incredible, with top notch sound at the Met, and they seemed well rested.

New live album, Live Drugs, out Nov. 20. Pretty freaking stoked, the records are fantastic but they are definitely a live band.

Oh yeah, definitely agree with you on that, can't wait.

Has anyone listened to "Live Drugs" yet? Holy sh*t does it sound good, I've never heard a live album sound as good as this.
Great sound engineering and mastering on this one.

Yea it's pretty amazing. I think every song on here is the best version of that song I've ever seen or heard. I'm not a huge vinyl purist or anything, but I can't wait to get this one.

Its so damn great, top to bottom. The closing trio hit me like a truck. Def spending a LOT of time with this one the rest of the year.

This is my number 1 knock against streaming music.. the nerd in me needs to see all the production credits for this album. Spotify obviously shows you none of that stuff. It ALWAYS bothers me.

I bought the mp3 download and was disappointed there isn't a digital booklet. I was curious about this album's particulars, being it's from different shows.

Great album. 12 minute Under the Pressure! This will be great to listen to often and then they'll hit us with a new album.

Still haven't had a chance to listen to the live album yet :(

And big tour announced too. It's going to be great.

Scored tickets today on the presale for Seattle in February. One week before heading to OBH5, strangely enough their heading down the west coast then off for a month before starting a European leg. Plenty of time for them to drop in on OBH5.

sillyboob · Jul 22, 2021, 10:28 AM

Thought that as well about OBH rkwedge.

parkervb · Jul 26, 2021, 01:53 PM

man, I missed out on the sale last week. Will have to see what I can do on secondary. Hoping to hit one of the Philly shows and maybe The Anthem.

not to rain on any hopeium for them playing OBH, but hard for me to see a band that is booked to play MSG on their next tour take a 2nd line spot at a resort run. Just my thoughts on that. Hope they do though!
