For me, seeing Kyuss was unreal. I missed them in the 90's and have been a fan for years, so finally seeing them play after thinking it would never happen was mind-blowing. Their stand-in guitar player was totally on it, he nailed every note.
Even after all these years KYUSS with John Garcia played an incredible show. Under rated their entire career, it is great to see them finally getting their due by selling out all the shows for this tour.
Papa Wheelie are a GREAT band- I've seen them twice now & they are good & loud. The Sword have been a favorite band of mine for 3 or more years now, & their new drummer makes their music even heavier!!! They never disappoint. Kyuss Lives! was excellent as well- I definitely recommend people go see them, regardless that it's only 3/4 of the original Kyuss band.
Show was EPIC!!!! The Sword stole the show with their set. Sorry. But Kyuss, being Kyuss, crushed and didn't miss a beat.
amazing show. one of the best i've ever seen. bring back kyuss!
Great show and pretty good sound - although a little roomy, but not bad. Hope to god they come back and inspire more! The last good show I saw compared to them was CLUTCH, FU and MIRV. Thank you Kyuss, for coming back.
Kyuss Lives was one of the best shows I've ever seen. You'd obviously have to be into that sort of music, but if you are then you should be bummed if you weren't there. I missed the first opener, but the second one with the woman singer was the best opener I'd ever seen; that guitarist with the dreads was a mad shredder. My only complaint regarding the show is that I would have liked to see The Sword play as long as Kyuss did. But I love The Sword and that's just my biased opinion. Overall, a superb performance.
i don't get too excited about reunions so i came to this with low expectations. didn't watch the opening bands, seemed like your average johnny come lately generic mediocre "stoner" ilk. the venue itself was pretty cool. an old refurbished theatre which was aesthetically pleasing, but had horrible sound. that's one of the reasons i gave it 4 stars instead of 5. too much concrete, sound was bouncing of of every wall, not good for a a band whose emphasis is volume. that said, i never got to see kyuss back in the day, i have have only witnessed them live via youtube and bootlegs. so i had some idea of what to expect. youtube and bootlegs do not do these guys any justice, you really have to hear these guys live to understand. even though the sound was crappy these guys still managed to rip through a scorching set starting with "gardenia" and ending with "green machine". these dudes never had much of a stage presence, physically speaking. but their sonic assault that ebbs and flows, at times overwhelming at times soothing, more than makes up for any theatrics. "whitewater" is a good example of what i am talking about. their songs can go from full tempo rocker into funky psychedelic jams and back without sounding contrived. they are not just about volume and fuzzed out guitars and amplifier fetish. these guys were crafting a new brew of rock. taking from rock and all it's sub-genres and other parts of the musical sphere to create something all their own and very appealing to those who want hear something familiar that doesn't pander. this is your chance to see one of the last if not THEE last great rock band live. GO!
One of the best shows I've seen in the past 5 years.
After twenty years, we finally got to see Kyuss. Even without Josh, it was worth driving to Pomona. Great set with great vocals and a pounding rhythm section. The Sword is rediculous live. That would have been enough to count this as a great show. Add in the Kyuss and all my stoner metal wishes came true. Go see this show.
Sound was top notch, Kyuss still rock, the venue has an awesome acoustic, the only complain was that I did see Nick Oliveri and John Garcia kind of cold, they didn't seem to enjoy to be on stage, but I really like the show, Briant and Bruno were super, the old Kyuss souns was totally there! I loved The Sword also, not really impressed with the Dukowsky Sextet( former Black Flag bassist), family band between L7 and Steppenwolf, the female singer has a great voice and overall they are all great musicians but they should chose if the want to play psychedelic, hard rock, or melodic rock, you can't mix and match and assume to have a good result, last song was a My War cover, the only one I liked.
From the get go I had a feeling that Kyuss without Josh Homme was going to be awesome, and it absolutely lived up to it! The tickets were way cheaper than they would be if Josh was a part of the tour, plus it attracted die hard fans instead of casual ones. The Sword put on one hell of a show too, which totally blew me away!
I've been a Kyuss fan for a while now, and this show delivered nearly all of the tunes I wanted to hear. Garcia's vocals were on. It was awesome. Also The Sword was super tight. The whole evening had big powerful guitar sound that I enjoyed thoroughly.
The show was amazing! I had gotten there late but still the first band that played blew my mind! The sword started pits within the first song and ended their set with psycadelic hard attack of their brand of stoner rock. All these bands only added to the excitement and energy of the crowd until finally the room darkend and the sounds for freedom run began to play with a cacophony of perfection. Suddenly the masses screamed their heroes of the desert came onto the stage as silent shadows and tore the roof off with their heavy bone shattering riffs sending everyone into the riot that was Kyuss Lives!
John Garcia, Brant Bjork, Nic Oliverie, and a guitarist from the depths of hell, named Bruno tore down the Old Gillies Sunday night! It was like it 1996 all over again, with the band showing just a few years of age. From Demon Cleaner to Big Sky, they played every song I could think of except Big Bikes. If you missed this show you should know you missed the what would probably be described as the best show to ever hit Dallas!
Very nice set, sound was awesome and Garcia's vocals were great!!! Would love to see them record a new album.
Kyuss has been a large liked band in the past and will always be there in my music taste. They rocked like always and delivered at best. The show was great IMO! Now that these guys are older they still step up to the plate and rock the house. I had fun seeing them and will do again if they provide the chance. The other opening acts SWORD and MONSTRO were great as well, good combo feel for these guys to all tour together.
Amazing show! Amazing band! After 20+ years of playing, still haven't lost a step.
The venue was cool, but also dirty and kind of rickety; but still cool. The a/c could have worked a little better (hot room). It was upstairs and heat rises, plus lots of bodies = hot room. The security people seemed a little too anal at times, and then a little too lenient at others. I'm not sure what to think about them. I was there for Kyuss, so I'll forgo commenting on the first two acts. Kyuss played all of their tunes extremely well. That said, I just wish that modern sound-men (of the past 15-20 years, or so) wouldn't lean so heavily on the low end of the aural spectrum. By that, I mean that the bass always seems to be so muddy and sludgy in the mix. I understand that Kyuss is a bass-heavy band, but this always seems to be the case for most modern-day concerts. The listener can barely make out the individual notes that the bass player is playing. I'm not a sound-man, but it seems to me that too much emphasis is placed on the bass rig and the bass drum; and the drums in general. And, the vocalist always seems to be lost in the mix, and he/she should be the focal point of any show. The bass, drums, and guitar(s) are always plenty loud enough on their own, they don't need that much assistance. It's the vocals that should always be able to be heard clearly at the back of the house. That's all. Thanks.
Excellent show. Kyuss was insane. They played their best songs. Great atmosphere.
