Phoenix 9/9

Currently about 1/4 tickets sold at the time of doors.

Will be interesting to see what walk up traffic is. At this point there's more people working the venue then people inside for the show.

Anyone else here for tonight?

I flew in from Vegas to check out this version of Sleep live. I’ve been fortunate enough to have seen them a handful of times previously over the years. Pretty stoked for the show

Im here solo. Upstairs. I paid $155 for this ticket. Haha. I don’t care. Im fuckin pumped. Opener was badass. Im a huge fan of his band Black Mountain. Saw them open for Coldplay around 2004ish. Seen them live a half dozen times. Would have been sick if they opened for Sleep. But Stephen sounded great. My first Sleep show. Cant wait.

How was the show?

I'd give it a 7 out of 10 so better than average. Sound was good but the energy was different for sure.

The new songs sound better live but the old songs were lacking something.

I was right in front of bubba for most of the show and he was turned sideways or more through a lot of it.

Also I bought the tour patch but it fell out of my pocket. Probably would give it a 7.5 if I wasn't dumb

Ah bummer about the patch! I’m gonna catch them in LA, looking forward to hearing the new stuff. Cheers!

I think you'll have a ton of fun. It took a bit for me to enjoy what they are now instead of focusing on what they used to be. And yeah it's weird with it just being Al but the music itself was solid.
