what ever happened to your rock`n roll, guys? your love still burns. immense. a flared fire. initial "red eyes and tears" fit one into each other in billowing spheres before some clap of guitar thunder priced the resonance in order to mark the start of rolling forward. in a similar way exemplary therefor the brand-new desert stomping title track which ended in a splendid fulminant chorus, within both protagonists throw their characteristic words to each other: "i bled the needle through, you beat the devil tattoo, i thread the needle through, you beat the devil’s tattoo!" while an "ain`t no easy way" overwhelmed oneself with its clamor of blues-punk and peters` psychedelic mouth organ, one or another might worry about an instruments`endurance, such forcibly they pasted them. a live version of "anabell lee" suplemented the piano ballad with more intensitiy ´cause of hayes` add on guitar accords it moved kind of more expansive. for the first encore when rob had a stand-alone sit down on one of his speaker boxes at the front of the stage and snivelled his lyrical stories out to the world, emotion nearly was a too fragile vocable. a sold out backstage audience receicved a two years no longer played "dirty old town" followed by a lofi-acoustic slightly elongated "sympathetic noose". fantastic handsome. so much heartiness. anyway nameless! occasional the most impressive of them all was a matchless performence of "half-state". this kind of mesmerizing monster fascinated speechless listeners for about ten minutes. outstanding state of trance! now the band wanted demand something special and shot a sound copulating "american x" afterwards like there were no tomorrow. fustian!
within a three track second encore headed by a stormy "spread your love", another new track was worthy of mention. "shadow`s keeper", a lasting several minutes guitar-hurricane-jam with rob playing his heart out in the audience concluded the hot-blooded part of the set. the formidable band closed a stunning evening with a brilliant arranged "open invitation". this hidden track from howl lp was engulfed by green laser spheres. atmosperic!
