I didn’t record very many shows from the bay area band LOOK BACK AND LAUGH, and I don’t know how that happened.  Maybe it was because they were over so quickly, I think I first saw them in 2004, and then the last time was in 2007.  I don’t have very many shows to share from this band, but here’s one I do have.  This was from a warehouse show in Oakland.  Saviours, Kalas, Watch Them Die, and Tragedy were all on the bill.  This was an odd one, total hesher metal and hardcore on one show.  Seeing as I love this type of shit, I totally loved this shit.  It was set up fairly last minute, but it was still a killer turnout, the warehouse was packed.  I think there were some gear issues, or maybe it’s power related, but at one point Casey’s amp goes out, and just as the band was starting their last song, Brian’s bass amp cut out.  That ended their set.  Perhaps a little anticlimactic, for those that want a big finish, but oh well.  Still, despite these issues, I think their set was pretty killer.  Maybe you will too.  There’s a minute or two of the band tuning up and whatnot that I forgot to chop off the beginning, and there’s a few cuts here and there, and I probably should have cut the last minute off the end as the band begins to break down, oops.  Play it loud!!!
