Number Forty Two

"A moment of silence for Mariano Rivera"

-BC, 9/27/2013

Playing for one of the most beer-soaked audiences I've seen in quite a while (that's saying a lot for your usual GM crowd), Waterbury's hometown heroes played some all-out smokers with "Whale", "Baba O' Riley" and "Dragging Me Down".  But they set the bar at an all new level with Friday night's awe inspiring "Burn"(posted below). I post a lot of versions of this tune on here, and there's a good reason for that-it never ceases to kick major ass. Right around the 9 minute mark, the tune changes pace from it's usual dark and dirty to some bright and beautiful jamming. If you don't like "Burn", it's pretty clear that this is not the blog for you. There's the fucking door.
