| _______________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 9:03am - AndrewBastard ""] singer/guitarist looks like a cross between Bo and Russian Max, right? Anyone? Looking at YOU ROSS! |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 9:51am - Beorht-dana ""] Agalloch ruled, although I would have loved to have heard more Mantle/Pale Folklore material. I can't believe how packed this show was. I feel like there wasn't even half as many people at the show in 2005 or whenever it was. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 9:56am - arktouros ""] agalloch was everything i thought they'd be. the lead guitar & burning wood stole the show. there were no opening bands. |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 11:37am - arilliusbm ""] Wasnt trolling, what you talking about? |
| ________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 11:49am - sigh ""] OK fine not trolling just yelling shit like DON'T CLAP! |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 12:58pm - arilliusbm ""] well seriously. Who the fuck claps at a metal show? |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 1:02pm - arktouros ""] there were tons of first-timers there. there were kids in front of me giddy as schoolgirls whenever agalloch changed chords. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 1:06pm - Randy_Marsh ""] wasnt a fan of the clapping. was a fan of agalloch's performance though. |

Wait, are you talking about "The Gathering" from the Netherlands? I can't imagine that you would be, as it would be one of the strangest bills ever, but then again, i don't think i've heard of another gathering. |

| _________________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 1:57pm - Valkyriescreams ""] This show was such a good time! I honestly didn't know what to expect from the openers and I wasnt disappointed. Wasn't crazy about the second band but didn't dislike them. I thought the vocals in Worm Ouroboros sounded kinda like Portishead vocals (which I am a big fan of). The thing that really got me was whatever Agalloch was burning on stage... I have a really strong connection with smells and that smoke instantly transported me back about 15 years to the campground where I spent many summers. It was a good atmosphere all around... definitely set the mood for the music. |

November's Doom, Agalloch, and The Gathering headlined. i THINK that was like 03/04. pics should be on here. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 2:01pm - Spaldino ""] it was Feb 15th, 2004 http://returntothepit.com/concert.php?band=the_gathering&date=2004-02-15 |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 2:03pm - Alx_Casket ""] I saw the gathering play at the mideast the first time I saw Unexpect. What an odd lineup, I think it was just a label thing, similar to what it was in the gathering/agalloch show. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 2:10pm - dreadkill ""] i like worm o, but they're way better on recording than live. i didn't watch their whole set. i missed musk ox because i was in the stupid line to get in. agalloch was great and i saw some people i never see anymore, so that was fun. |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 2:17pm - Valkyriescreams ""] yeah what was up with not opening the doors until 5 minutes before musk ox started? |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 2:18pm - ouchdrummer ""] uggghhh. me lovie El Gatherino. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 2:40pm - arilliusbm ""] I was mad I missed the beginning of Musk Ox. Outside of Agalloch, that was the band I wanted to see. Really nice and humble guy too. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 3:01pm - burnsy ""] Agreed with aril on the clapping. Ya it's a show, lighten up etc, but the clapping during some of the clean parts was definitely cramping my style. |

| ____________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 3:03pm - arilliusbm ""] I don't have a problem with applauding a band after a song. But to clap during a song? GTFO DuckDuckGoosers. They were doing that shit at Opeth's 20th Anniversary show in NYC last April too. |

| ___________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 3:06pm - dreadkill ""] dammit, i made that post before you said duck duck goosers |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 3:10pm - mikeofdecrepitude ""] Definitely had a great time last night. While it may not have surpassed the gig back in 2004, Agalloch still put on a hell of a show . Dead Winter Days is one of my favorite tracks from Pale Folklore, so that was probably the highlight of their set. |

| ____________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 3:29pm - arilliusbm ""] I've seen it done before at many concerts. But it now it seems the norm for a bunch of padawan metalheads. Regardless, I don't really care. Awesome show. |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 3:40pm - ouchdrummer ""] what i REALLY hate: @ anything "Jazz-ish" (and i use that term very loosely of course) when people clap and cheer and yell at what they THINK is the end of a solo; when quite frequently it's actually just a sofly played interlude before the crescendo that would complete the soo. . but since everyone yelled and clapped, you can't hear the part that the player probably spent the most time working out. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 3:57pm - dreadkill ""] there was a lot of that last night, people clapping before a song was over. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 4:07pm - Randy_Marsh ""] bands just need to start speaking out against clapping so we there can be an end to this faggotry. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 5:12pm - goatcatalyst ""] Or surly niggaz in the crowd can start pisscupping the offending faggots. |
