Man, that was an intense experience. I have to admit, though, that I'm mainly familiar with the first two albums and then a handful of singles (Love Like Blood, 80's, etc.). I was not familiar with most of the material played, which was supposedly from the Pandemonium LP. They did play Wardance, Change, The Wait and 80's, though-- which sounded freakin' awesome. The band was in great form, and Jaz sounded exactly like he did years ago on the studio recordings (which is surprising).
As such, this concert was a bit intimidating. I guess the Pandemonium record is more like metal/grind-core, because the songs really ferocious & aggressive, and the mosh-pit was roiling with old-school ninja-punks. It was maybe a bit like seeing a cross-genre band like Ministry, which has an accessible pop new-wave side, but also a full-on industrial-assault side. I'd say the venue was only about half full. I enjoyed the concert, but I wished I was more familiar with the Pandemonium material. It was a real experience. My friend who accompanied me is a hardcore/metal-head, and he was in heaven.

Hey, Im glad you made it Sally. It was indeed an intense experience. I was mostly familiar with the first two albums as well as the popular tracks from the 'Night Time' album, but hearing a few of the unfamiliar tracks make me want to venture into some of their later industrial stuff although I'm not at all a fan of industrial. There were quite a few moshers and stage divers when I was there on Saturday, especially during 'Wardance'. But I think everyone mainly just had a blast. Certainly a concert to remember.
