I am suprised that there isn't much talk around here about this great band. IMHO, they are by far the best "new" band to come around from todays current crop of mostly bad bands. They have a very talented singer and the band playing behind him are also excellent.
Anyway, myself and a couple of friends of mine went to Ft. Wayne, IN last night to check them out live. Needless to say, Incubus is even more impressive live then they are on studio recordings. They played for a good hour and a half and also played a good variety of old and new. My only disappointment was that they didn't play "Blood on the Ground", that is probably my favorite song from them (go through a divorce and you'll know why
), but it didn't detract from the rest of the show. Everyone in the band was spot on and I didn't hear one single mistake. The big surprise for me was that they played the Middle Eastern sounding "Aqueous Transmission". They actually closed with that song and it sounded amazing.
Now for the reality..... boy did I feel old at that show. When we arrived, I thought I may be one of ten that would be drinking. The average age had to be about 16 or 17. I was expecting a young crowd, but this just was too much. After all was said and done I was one in about 15 who was drinking.
My friends and I were talking about how when we started seeing bands like Alice in Chains, Tool, Pearl Jam, NIN, Rage Against the Machine, Primus, etc..., those kids were probably about 7 years old.
Anyways, Incubus is fantastic live and any fan should check them out...... old and young.
