| ________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 3:43pm - Mark_R ""] Most of the Middle East weeknight shows I've been too have ended in time to catch the T. Both exceptions I can think of right now were metal shows and thus somewhat comparable. This is one I could see going pretty late. Also, the Central Square T often gets locked up 30 minutes or more before the trains actually stop. Why is that? If the last train starts at 12:50, I should still be able to get in at 12:15. |

| ____________________________________ [Mar 23,2011 1:11pm - Alx_Casket ""] the openers tonight are going to blow last night's out of the water in comparison. Worm-O had some catchy parts, looking fwd to musk ox though. Neofolk doesnt always have a great transition into a live set, but it should still be better than last night. |

| _______________________________________ [Mar 23,2011 10:41pm - the_reverend ""] Worm ouroboroso was cool, but the voices made me sleepier. Would like to listen to it while going to bed. It sounded like someone was trying to out low the band Low. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 12:35am - late_rising ""] yeah, not really the type of music that translates well live, especially to a metal show, even if it wasn't a metal crowd. I was in back for their set and all I heard was 85% of the club having conversations. never saw Agalloch before, thought they were pretty awesome. I did leave before they were done though, after an hour or so I had got my free tix worth and was glad to be home from a show by just after midnight for once. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 12:44am - Alx_Casket ""] worm-o reminds me of loreena mckennitt singing for a post rock band. agallochs were on point, much better sound, performance, and crowd response than in nyc. |

| _________________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 1:57pm - Valkyriescreams ""] This show was such a good time! I honestly didn't know what to expect from the openers and I wasnt disappointed. Wasn't crazy about the second band but didn't dislike them. I thought the vocals in Worm Ouroboros sounded kinda like Portishead vocals (which I am a big fan of). The thing that really got me was whatever Agalloch was burning on stage... I have a really strong connection with smells and that smoke instantly transported me back about 15 years to the campground where I spent many summers. It was a good atmosphere all around... definitely set the mood for the music. |

| ____________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 2:03pm - Alx_Casket ""] I saw the gathering play at the mideast the first time I saw Unexpect. What an odd lineup, I think it was just a label thing, similar to what it was in the gathering/agalloch show. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 2:10pm - dreadkill ""] i like worm o, but they're way better on recording than live. i didn't watch their whole set. i missed musk ox because i was in the stupid line to get in. agalloch was great and i saw some people i never see anymore, so that was fun. |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 2:17pm - Valkyriescreams ""] yeah what was up with not opening the doors until 5 minutes before musk ox started? |

| ____________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 2:40pm - arilliusbm ""] I was mad I missed the beginning of Musk Ox. Outside of Agalloch, that was the band I wanted to see. Really nice and humble guy too. |

While it may not have surpassed the gig back in 2004, Agalloch still put on a hell of a show . Dead Winter Days is one of my favorite tracks from Pale Folklore, so that was probably the highlight of their set. |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 3:40pm - ouchdrummer ""] what i REALLY hate: @ anything "Jazz-ish" (and i use that term very loosely of course) when people clap and cheer and yell at what they THINK is the end of a solo; when quite frequently it's actually just a sofly played interlude before the crescendo that would complete the soo. . but since everyone yelled and clapped, you can't hear the part that the player probably spent the most time working out. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 24,2011 3:57pm - dreadkill ""] there was a lot of that last night, people clapping before a song was over. |
