After so much time off, The Prayer Chain we’re still in amazing form. Every song was played to perfection and Tim’s voice did not disappoint. He had amazing energy and put on a great show, even taking a brief crowd surfing session! The venue was mostly fine, with the notable exception of some microphone issues for the guest vocalist. That was a disappointment.
The band was full of energy!!!! I twas like being transported back to the early 90's!!!! If it wasn't their last show I would go every time!!!!
Prayer Chain put on one of those shows that if you weren't there you'd kick yourself. It was simply amazing.
Best reunion show EVER!!!! Great turnout and the set and performances where amazing!
The night clearly belonged to The Prayer Chain. Andy, Eric, Tim and Wayne proved their little OC band from the early 90s was nowhere near finished. This week they will be adding a 2nd show in Nashville, and who knows what else to expect moving forward. The House of Blues in Anaheim was the perfect venue for this reunion event. Big enough to host nearly 1,000 fans, but intimate enough to feel like any seat was a great seat (frankly there were very few seats - nearly everyone stood as it was an open dance floor). Opening band Pax217 was well received, adding a hip-hop/rock hybrid sound to the festivities, not unlike Rage Against the Machine. Dakoda Motor Co followed with a set list which pretty much mirrored what they became known for back in the 90s. Surfing legend Peter King led Davia (lead vocals), Chuck Cummings (drums), a bassist and lead guitarist on a 45-minute road down memory lane. Fun, exuberant, danceable surf rock, they were the perfect “warm-up” for what followed. The Prayer Chain mixed a few songs from “Mercury” together with the entire “Shawl” album, marking the 25th anniversary of the latter. Songs like “Like I Was”, “Fifty-Eight” and “Crawl” have clearly stood the test of time. After only a month or two of practice rehearsals, the band sounded as polished as it was when it first released “Shawl” (dare I say even moreso?). (I was so mesmerized during their performance that I didn’t even reach for the phone in my pocket to take photos.) I rarely use the word “perfect” these days; honestly, that word would pretty much sum up Saturday night’s musical celebration. Already looking forward to the 50-year anniversary tour!
My childhood dream came true so I can die now. :) Not only was the show beyond expectations, but everyone who worked at the House of Blues was super helpful and nice. They found me some earplugs and they noticed our VIP passes and kindly directed us to where we needed to go. The whole experience was amazing and I was giddy the whole time. The Prayer Chain was so awesome, I can't even begin to describe how satisfied I am. Thank you!
I was thrilled to hear that The Prayer Chain was going to play a special show celebrating the 25th anniversary of Shawl. I was even more thrilled to hear that they had asked Dakoda Motor Co to get back together to join them! I never had the chance to see Dakoda Motor Co back in the day, so this was a real treat! They sounded amazing and put on an excellent show! I last saw The Prayer Chain 15 years ago and let me just tell you, they had as much energy and showmanship as they did back in 2003. I wish I could go to shows like this every weekend!
