Isis

Anyone go see them?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOQlQ07BpLg

setlist of that last show:
1. From Sinking
2. Not In Rivers, But In Drops
3. Holy Tears
4. Threshold Of Transformation
5. Ghost Key
6. Collapse And Crush
7. So Did We

8. In Fiction
9. The Beginning And The End

yeah i was there. flew in from toronto for it. great crowd, great set. i think people were giving me cut-eye for wearing a cave-in shirt though. also, during the final notes of "the beginning and the end" someone jumped off the stage and onto my face. no one was really ready to catch that person, as we were all pretty transfixed by what was happening on stage.

i had read the VV review of their show from a few days before, and can say that i really didn't find the band sounding "proggy" in the least. maybe the size and acoustics of the venue had something to do with it, but they sounded just as visceral as i imagined.

That video of "So Did We" really kills. Glad to see its rightful placement closing out their final set. Was always my favorite Isis tune.

Congratulations! http://www.toolband.com/news/main.php (16 August)

AARON HARRIS MARRIED

Congratulations to AARON HARRIS and his lovely bride ALEXANDRA on their recent marriage in Santa Monica. Guests were treated to a great ceremony and reception, and among them were several members of Tool. In fact, as for wedding gifts, along with glasses, plates and bowls there was a DANNY CAREY signature snare drum. As Buzz (Melvins) commented, hopefully Alexandra won't use it as a salad container. Although I don't have any wedding photos, here's a shot of Aaron with ISIS that was taken by Justin Chambers.

The forty-minute version of "Here Comes The Bride" must have been a hoot.

Not that these live albums are bad, but there must be PA recordings that are better than some of these audience tape sourced LPs?

such bad memories of this band

Yeah, they suck. I can't imagine anyone ever liking pretentious crap like this. (is that better, ILM hivemind? I'll stop reviving this thread as well - scrolling back made it pretty clear)

no, i got hit in the mouth by a sweaty dread at one of their shows

good show otherwise
