Are you going (or planning to go) to the Devin Townsend Project at the Masquerade in Atlanta?

Feel free to discuss anything related to this show here!

I'd like to be there! Let's see how it goes.

Holy shit... Where to start.


The intro during the setup was hilarious, first off. Dev was in a fantastic mood, telling stories of how he pissed some rednecks off at the venue back in '97 with Strapping, and being afraid they were gonna cock slap in the face him for it.

The set was:

Truth
Supercrush!
More!!
Planet of The Apes (which I brought a lighter just for the waving part. Somebody was smoking hella weed during this song)
Lucky Animals (Holy jazz hands Batman)
Juular
and last, but certainly not fucking least... GRACE!!

I'm really familiar with Gojira, but they put on a great show.

It was, indeed, a fantastic show. The mix was great as well; when the subs kicked in, the whole building shook. Dev's stage presence is like no other, and it was great to see his on-stage banter differs from show to show. It's not some cookie-cutter script he does. (Referring to click-tracks and backing-tracks, SYL in '97, etc.)

Here are some pictures I snapped before and after.










RVP was really awesome; immediately after the set (and I mean IMMEDIATELY) he came back and started taking pictures and signing autographs. What a trooper. I met Dev in Houston, and met RVP here. It was awesome!
