Saw Boris last night.
 
It was awesome, they sounded great. They played mostly new stuff from Pink and Smile, but finished with this drone/noise jam that was so intense and practically endless. Atsuo even came out and played drums (and gong!) with Torche during one of their songs, and he jumped into the crowd at the end of Boris' set. Really intense and energetic show though. I quite enjoyed it.

Some guy put a couple of videos up here:

Sound quality sucks, but what the hell.

I saw them last night... the ending drone jam seriously started making my eyes hurt, my head hurt. I think it was sheer volume + the pitch of the soundwaves coming at me... I felt pummled. The only concert i've seen so far this year, so yeah it was the best. I think a lot of people there to see them were more interested in the HC songs, they really wanted to fucking mosh, I heard one guy when they were playing a slower jam all like "what the fuck, brah, blah blah blah, too slow" probably a frat boy. Anyway, I really liked the arrangement of My Neighbor Satan, made the song more better than on the album.

I really wanted to like Torche, they had moments, but the singer is a cheeseball. There's a used car salesman in the making. I just couldn't get past it.

Man, I'd love to see Boris but they always make their shows in 18+ venues.
