I've only had the good fortune to catch Vaden & Co. live once before. It was 9 years ago--they don't come to CA very often, as many here know, they don't venture far from Texas very often.
The crowd in Berkeley in 2017 struck me as overwhelmingly early 40s age, folks who were in high school when Rubberneck ruled. (I was mid-30s then) Last night I saw dozens of 20-somethings. It might be that Local H brought them in, too, since Bound For The Floor is still in rotation on FM and streaming apps these days, more so than Possum Kingdom, I imagine--its repetitive riff sounds like a more recent song.
Once on the way out, I noticed that the overall crowd was older than my sample up front lead me to perceive, but still, it was great to see, and hear so many sing along, even with songs off of Hell/Stars. And the band played so fucking well. They are no nostalgia act; they are sharp, focused and delivering the goods, old material and new.
