I was going to come to this show tonight, but I got scheduled on to work, so I thought I was going to miss out. What happened was I got cut about 15 minutes after GWAR's set started, so I was able to amble in and get myself a great spot side stage. Before the show, one of the secondary GWAR Characters (inevitably one of the bad guys) was outside interviewing fans, mostly those that had been in for the meet and greet earlier.
I may have missed a few songs, but I got into the story straight away. Gor Gor Strikes back I saw 5 months ago in Greensboro. But there seemed to be more of characters in the story tonight. I'm in Love (with a Dead Dog) featured "Kristi Noem" who, after shooting another innocent dog, was mutilated by the band. as the crowd fought to be drenched in her blood. The same fate was given to trump during El Presidente. I want to say they same thing happened to a "business man" during the set. In the end, as Gor Gor gets his revenge on his captor, but suffers a sword through the brain during "Gor Gor", the rabid crowd is left to cheer the masterpiece theater that is GWAR.
I was tired and left before the encore (some Progressive dad energy, wanting to beat everyone out of the parking lot). I wish I'd stayed as I missed the cover of Pink Pony Club (of course, they played that). What was I thinking? In true un-rock and roll thinking, a thought about the security team at the barried, who did one hell of a job catching crowd-surfers, all whilst under the deluge of GWAR's blood, and while getting into the music. Also a big shoutout has to go to the clean up crew tonight. They had their work cut out for them.
