After taking multiple trips overseas to see The Men In Black, I was extremely excited to see them locally. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve seen them in Los Angeles.
I can empathically say they did not disappoint. Not only did we get to hear the staples, “Grip”, “No More Hero’s”, “Duchess”,”Golden Brown”, etc. We were given the gift of two new unrecorded cuts that sounded great. The caveat was their delving into the songbook and playing exceptional cuts that surprised even me. “Time To Die” from Stranglers In The Night. Multiple cuts from the outstanding album The Raven including “Baroque Bordello” which blew me away. They even dusted off “Nubiles”.
These boys tour relentlessly and it shows. Tight as a frogs behind, they tore through the 2 hour set with such ferocity the hairs on the back of my neck were standing on end the entire show.
The greatest and arguably the most underrated band in the world truly gave us a gift long overdue.
