“Not only are we playing these shows for the pure pleasure of playing in front of you people tonight but we’re also trying out brand new material in the hopes that some huge magnificent band like Tool will ask us to go on tour or something...and we can show ‘em where it all came from” laughs Belew, tongue firmly in cheek.

The fourth and final evening at 12th & Porter begins with an absolutely explosive version of Level Five. Adrian’s high-octane guitar solo strips the paint off the walls and the tour-de-force continues with a fast-moving TCOL. Speed and fleet-fingered pace are features of a specially truncated version of FraKctured which bursts abruptly into life on the aggressive middle section instead of its usual fade in on the moto perpetuo. Complete with jokey sign-off Belew quips that it was “close enough for...something.”

Close enough might also be said to describe a slightly chaotic rendition of Vrooom and a good natured romp through Dinosaur. The material in development has a more pronounced focus to it tonight than on previous occasions. Clearly, there was still work to be done but instrumentally the main structures are firmly in place.

After this gig, the band’s next port of call would be the start of a tour on July 23rd at Bogarts in Cincinnati.

"We're not ready yet!"
Oh yes you are. The fourth and final warm-up at 12th and Porter opens straight into Level Five without any lead-in, and my goodness does it come out scorching, full of unrelenting forward momentum and drumming that sounds like cannonshots. TCOL is especially dazzling tonight - something about the way Trey plays the bassline really channels the alien-happy-hour spirit of ProjeKct Two, and the guitars dance around each other, perfect and playful in equal measure. And that's the emotion that rea...

The most consistant show out of the run.
The fourth and final show of the band’s opening 2001 run. All four shows are available in a bundle, at a discount so I went for it. This being the fourth show, it also is more consistent than some of the earlier shows although a couple of the songs were actually performed better at a couple of the earlier shows. The set list is great and all the new songs that were debuted during this run are played here. If you can’t afford or only want one show from the run, this is the one to get.
