Sleep - Live in Chicago 9/9/2010 - Logan Square Auditorium



1) Sciences/Dopesmoker/Holy Mountain
2) Dragonaut
3) Evil Gypsy/Solomon's Theme
4)Some Grass/Aquarian
5) Nain's Baptism/The Druid
6) From Beyond
7) -encore-
8) Weedian/Cultivator/Improved Morris

I'm definitely biased because I was there, but this is an excellent show - the audio is a bit distorted, but it was unbelieveably loud there, so thats probably as good as it would get without being directly from the soundboard.

During the intro of every song, the crowd goes nuts, like a modern day Beatles-on-Ed-Sullivan, but with howling guys instead of screaming girls.

I couln't hear well for two days after the show and was just euphoric during the opening notes to Dopesmoker. Matt looked completely hammered for the entire show and Al seemed to be super chill, head down, off to the left. There wasn't many there who weren't big time fans - massive, slow headbanging, shouted lyrics, lots of yeahs and hollers from the crowd. I bought everything from the merch both, including some patches, t-shirts and poster and I will probably never forget this show.
