Top end of hearing goes with age ... middle age. Although I've been unable to really hear people above loud music and bar noise all my life.
It's good to see Primordial finally getting a livestream from the Rock Hard Festival 2024 on the 18th of May. kzread.infoxmkc_GSah7k?feature=shared

Thanks for the link!!! Though, I guess I'll be missing it live. The only way I'm awake at 9:15 am on a Saturday is if I haven't gone to bed yet. hahahaha!

@hkrug666 Thanks, I can understand that. I believe we talked about me once living on the West Coast before and Rockpalast is pretty good at having the shows up for a while. So sleep in and Enjoy the show later!
Land of the free... Europe and the US: when you are illegal it appears you can get in quite easy but going the official way is costly and harder. Similar problems there as here: housing, energy, grocerie shopping, prices going up 25-30%... been there recently and spoke to their citizens.. The European disdain, especially under a Republican present has always baffled me.
I'll be at the Maryland Deathfest, and I'm going entirely for you. Well, Primordial actually, but you guys and also Bloodbath. Hopefully if I luck out and run into Alan he'll talk to me for two minutes. And I'm hoping that I'll finally be able to get a Primordial t shirt?
up!
Gonna try and make Seattle!

Don't be sold so fast, my (unmet) friend! The Primordial gig was at El Corazón, a medium-sized venue located in an outskirt-like area known as the Industrial District. That district and its neighbor Georgetown might match Averill's description... Stray much beyond, and you'll find a place very different. For the past 12 or so years Seattle has been a model example of the consequences of rapid influx of yuppies and overshadowing of local roots. Seattle underwent dramatic changes in the decade after the '07-'08 financial crisis. By around 2018, when I (thankfully) escaped, the city to me felt totally overrun by gentrification, spearheaded by the growth of the *new* Amazon, headquartered in the heart of the city. The world's largest virtual shopping mall would soon in colloquial use replace the forest after which it was (abominably) named. At the other end of the wealth spectrum, Seattle is also 'home' to a massive homeless population :( Absurdly, this is all surrounded by majestic nature. Lastly, be warned that summer weeks are typically very sunshiny, even hot. Anyway, I'm really glad to hear that the city got the respite of a Primordial concert! That's pretty cool.
See you in Mesa!
Yeah, doing those visa petitions was a pain in the ass back when I did them for the heathen crusade bands in 2005-2007. They took a lot of time and organization and money. But it was worth it.
