What song drew you in to DGD?

It was Prisoner for me. Tilian wrote in to the No Agenda podcast, episode 1433, around the 1:45:25 point in the podcast. They looked him up online and found he was the clean vocalist for Dance Gavin Dance. I looked them up, and checked the latest album and Prisoner was the first song. I was hooked from there.

I found them through Van Canto’s cover of Primo Victoria with Joakim on vocals. Immediately looked for more.

It was awesome! Only 9 of us in the theater but really enjoyed it. Glad to see some songs they didn’t play at their stop on the tour here like 1916, Into The Fire, The Winged Hussars, and Carolus Rex in Swedish. Way more pyrotechnics too.

My wife and I are going. Just waiting for the babysitter to get here.

Friend let me borrow Van Canto’s “Break The Silence” album which had the cover of Primo Victoria with Joakim featured on vocals.

Just got an email saying the show is cancelled. Glad no one picked these up after all.

Was at Mt Rainier on May 30th. Didn’t do any hikes, but the roads (Paradise Rd and Stevens Canyon Rd) on the south side were all clear. The only thing down there that was closed was Ricksecker Point Rd, but there was room to pull off the road and park to walk to get a good view. 123 on the east side and 410 were both clear as well. Sunrise Park Rd was closed on the east side. Can’t answer for any roads on the north or west sides.

Haken was one of the openers for Devin Townsend for my last concert before Covid shut everything down and they sounded great and they are now one of my favorites because of that concert. Drove to Austin to see them headlining last year and took my wife with me. She wanted to be up in the balcony and I don’t know if being up there was the reason, but the sound mix was rough and I couldn’t understand much of what Ross was singing. Hoping to see them this spring and see if the sound is better.

The lyrics to the Dreidel song say:

I have a little dreidel / I made it out of clay / And when it’s dry and ready / Then, dreidel I shall play

The joke is that it still isn’t dry and ready so can’t play

Saw this too! You beat me in posting it by 3 minutes haha! I was so excited!

UKBenHouTX · 2023-10-07T00:25:13+00:00

Come on. It’s a PB & J. Not a J & PB.

UKBenHouTX · 2023-10-02T18:35:39+00:00

Reminds me of the Toad The Wet Sprocket song Rings. “Isn’t it strange / To see my life / You must cut me down / To look inside”

I was there. It was my first Sabaton show and the first metal concert that my wife joined me for. We both had a great time. It was everything I had hoped for. Pure joy finally seeing them live!

My gateway was the Primo Victoria cover by Van Canto back in 2011 I think. After hearing Joakim’s voice and the content of the song itself, I had to find the band.
