Skinny Puppy always puts on a great show
by chezz on 11/4/09The Regency Ballroom - San FranciscoYou never know what to expect at a Skinny Puppy show, and this one was no different. With such a large repertoire of songs to play, the band always manages to surprise me with the ones they do choose to play. They played an excellent mix of old and new stuff (new as in off of "Mythmaker") and Ogre's costumes and stage equipment were interesting and unique as always. I won't spoil it by saying what he wore or what his stageset was like, but it was definitely as good as, if not better than, their last stage set from their "Mythrus" tour. Less gore and blood, but still, an amazing show. I was the first person in line and had the perfect spot up front against the rail, and it was well worth waiting in line for five hours. If I had more cash, I'd follow them to every date, but this time could only afford to see them when they were close to me. But the show was excellent, the sound quality and songs played were first rate, and my only complaint is that the opening band "VVerevvolf Grehv" was boring. It was like one long guitar solo and it felt like it would never end. But no complaints about Skinny Puppy!! :) Go see them so that they make money and can keep surprising fans with tours!
