Plunger just started. Im doing my best to avoid spoilers, but absolutely loved the ABITW > Puppet to start the set. Band sounds tight as fuck.

The Rory shit sucked.

They sound tight cause they’re playing everything so crisply to keep up with Portnoy speeding through shit. Has its highs and lows for sure.

Rory was a killer fill in drummer. Nailed the cymbal work especially and a lot of Myers fills. You can tell he did his homework, he did sound better on his own kit though for the Les Special opening set. I don’t think he has the same power as Myers and he sounded thin drum wise on his kit.

Was not planning on it, but I’m going back tomorrow lol

I’ll be thrilled if that’s the last time they ever play In the Flesh > Another Brick in the Wall. They do it well, but it’s a set-eater and it’s always the same. I’m also tired of the boomer covers in general.

Also, that second set looks like dog shit.
