Last night Nov. 9th of 2011 the Puscifer concert
was at the Capitol Theater in SLC and after walking from a long echoing parking
garage we stood in line to get in. Polishing off a flask of Jack Daniels my
buddy Rick had brought to keep us warm. We finally get in to be frisked by security.
We headed up the long, almost 100 year old staircase. Our seats were in the “nose
bleed” section, but a capacity of 1300 there is no horrible seat. We sat down….
Now right here I am not going to tell you a lick of what the show was about but
rather where the show took me. And seriously it was quite a ride... I walked
out the theater at 10:30 last night and I'm still in the zone..... The dude (Maynard
James Keenan) is amazing. His band could hold the weight of the universe on
their shoulders. But really.. If the world were to be attacked by Demon monkeys
from outer space and the only thing that could save the whole earth is kick ass
music.... My vote is for all 6 of them to be there.... They threw out so much
energy it was hard for me to sit still in my seat...... But the stage crew made
the show also.... The lighting was just as much as an emotional ride as the
music... Plus add the romance of the Capitol Theater stage.. The show as
nothing less than epic.... And I know the term "epic" is thrown
around these days like a old shoe.. But I mean epic as in the term explained in
Webster. I did find some parts a little drug out making them boring but when
taken into the show as a whole. I wouldn't change a thing. I like to think of
the show similar to the movie "Paranormal Activity". In a way the
movie was good. And it had its scary parts but when it was over you walked out
the theater thinking it was a good movie... But it wasn't till you got home
late at night until you really noticed the movie's effect on you... Every sound
and shadow started to raise the hairs on the back of your neck. I remember
walking down the stairs thinking..."wow"... But that was it... My
mind hadn't wrapping around it completely yet. But then this morning I started
to play the CD "condition of my parole" again... My mind started
working again realizing really how great of a show it was. This is one show I
will never miss again... And it’s a show you all should see at least once. Now
I cannot say you would feel the same way I did. But for me it was everything I
love about music, art, and the human experience. Lol. Sounds like a lot but
really this is the only way I can explain it to make sense to anyone was not in
my mind, listening with my ears, looking with eyes, and feeling the bass beat
hitting my chest... Really I can go on and on... But my words couldn't justify
it. It was a good show. But for me every piece of a puzzle was in place. The
sound, the lights, the stage, the characters, my mood, and a huge part was my
mind not knowing what to expect... And from what I hear Maynard keeps changing
everything up so you will never get the same show. That is all I have to say
about it right now…
Peace, love and happiness to all of you.
