Notes: Their first ever appearance at the Beacon and they were fantastic! This tour "An Evening with Dawes" features songs from their new album "We're All Gonna Die", plus a look back at their complete discography. Taylor has said in recent interviews that they plan to play every song in their discography at least once during this extended tour. So that means lots of deep cuts. My 2 cents: The new lead guitarist, Trevor Menear, is a big upgrade over Duane Betts. I know that's sacrilege given Duane's lineage, but that's how's I hear it. Trevor shreds!
Technically speaking, no major issues with the recording. Thanks so much to acetboy for his master work in de-clapping a very heavy clapper to my left.
The tour continues through the spring. See them!
