+1. The production is exactly the wrong thing for a band like High On Fire. Those songs are fucking bomb live.
I saw Slayer when I was a freshman in high school. Bookended that week with Sonic Youth at the same venue. Two shows that totally blew my teenage brain.
Lastly, I went to the Machine on a lark. They were fucking awesome, and played all of Dark Side as their second set. I don't like their jamming (Ruined cymbaline for me--on the other hand, they played fucking Cymbaline!) but when they're sticking to the note-for-note stuff you can close your eyes and never know the difference.*
*Full disclosure:I was very, very, high at that show.
