Glassjaw Band • Page 39

MVP of these shows has low key been Chad, he really lays into the groove on these songs in a way that is not really as present on the album

 

I was watching him the whole night, his playing looks so effortless, and he adds a lot to the Silence songs in particular

 

man they absolutely killed it tonight. so fucking good.

 

Really think they’re in the conversation for best live band in the genre rn

 

What is their genre right now?

I'm really looking forward to seeing them in May. I last saw them in 2018 but they were hampered by really muddy sound.

 

I can't believe the London dates are finally happening next week. To anyone who's went to a show so far and pre-ordered the vinyl, what was the process to you picking it up from the show?

 

You going to both nights?

 

Yep, both nights.

 

Cool. I'm just doing the EYEWTKAS night. Think I've probably seen them play most of W&T whereas I think I've only Siberian Kiss off the other.

 

EYEWTKAS is the night I'm most looking forward to for sure, but as they don't come to the UK often and I doubt they'll ever do album playthrough shows for these records again I decided to get a ticket for both. I can't wait.

 

Everyone goes to the merch table after the show and lines up, when it's your turn you just tell then your name and order number and they'll give you the vinyl

Oh and the vinyl line was separate from the other merch line, at least at my show

 

Hadn't realised Loathe were supporting tonight. Hope I can catch at least some of their set.

 

This Beck interview from July about Worship & Tribute's 20th anniversary is a really great read: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Worship and Tribute: Glassjaw’s Genre-Defining Album Turns 20

 

I love it whenever Beck does an interview. The dude just has no filter.

 

I forgot my rescheduled show is this Thursday. Oops, some schedule shuffling is needed.

I'd almost be tempted to skip it (3 hr round trip drive on a Thurs), but not for the two album show.

Plus, I might still be buying the vinyl since I have no clue if the reschedule screwed up inventory, if I even have it reserved, I also forgot how it all worked, etc. So I also might not be buying the vinyl.

 

Such a great read

 

Beck mentioned that the original W/T songs had a lot of screaming, were those ever leaked/released? I wouldn’t change a thing about that album but would love to hear those.

 

Also, is there a release of W/T with Convectuoso as the closer?

 

I can't speak for the W/T alternatives but Convectuoso is the closer on the 20th anniversary repress Glassjaw - 20+ Year Anniversaries Collection

 

IMS, Convetuoso was the closer on some early promo copies of the album. But it was removed before the actual release

 

I love Convectuoso was so stoked they placed it that time I saw GJ

 

I have some of the W&T pre-production demos on my old hard drive. I don't recall them having more screaming, but I've honestly not listened to them in a long time.

 

Saw them last night. Thought they sounded great. Beck did some nice rearrangements from some of the ETYEWTKAS which were cool to hear. Overall, it was awesome to hear them play tracks like Radio Cambodia which I probably would never have seen them play before.

You can completely tell they like W&T as an album more though. The difference in energy on stage between the two sets was noticeable. Particularly from Daryl.

 

Oh my god the Pomona show last night was incredible. Love what Beck did arrangement/style-wise to the EYWTKAS songs*. No song sounded empty at all. Sound was super tight and the crowd was singing along the entire night. It was super cool to finally be able to see some of my favorite songs from them that I’ve never seen able to see live before. Hell, I welled-up during Trailer Park Jesus. It was also super sick that they snuck in El Mark too.

Worship And Tribute is one of my all-time favorite albums (up there in the top 5). Getting to see it front-to-back was beyond special. Last night was truly a reminder why I love this band (I mean, not that I needed one, but still)

*Beck really loves dive-bombs, huh?
