| Saw Helmet (30+30+30) Live!
Saw Helmet this Wednesday live at the Masquerade in Atlanta, as part of their 30 day tour over 30 cities. And what a show it was! 30 Songs over a 2 hour set, with songs from Strap it On all the way to Dead to the World. Page Hamilton was a beast, playing a mix of his thunderous, staccato riffs, with noise rock soloing and jazz-influenced noodling. I can't remember all the songs, but the songs I can remember are as follows. | | 1 |  | Helmet
Dead To The World
I recall them playing Life or Death and Drunk in the Afternoon | | 2 |  | Helmet
Seeing Eye Dog
They may have played Miserable and She's Lost, but some of the newer songs were a bit fuzzy. | | 3 |  | Helmet
Monochrome
I recall they played Swallowing Everything, and maybe Gone and 410 | | 4 |  | Helmet
Size Matters
They may have played Enemies off this album | | 5 |  | Helmet
Aftertaste
They saved the best for last, playing awesome renditions of Driving Nowhere and (High) Visibility. Also played their cover of Symptom of the Universe from the Jerky Boys Soundtrack. | | 6 |  | Helmet
Betty
They played pretty heavily off this album, with Wilma's Rainbow, Street Crab, and Beautiful Love. Beautiful Love was awesome. Paige started of with a long jazzy intro, which most people in the audience were not digging, then the remainder of the band kicked in abruptly to finish the track. Milquetoast was not played, as a fan talked Page out of it during the encore. Sam Hell was played during the encore. | | 7 |  | Helmet
Meantime
This album was played heavily from. Unsung was awesome. In the Meantime was a closer during the encore, which was incredible. I recall them also playing Give It, Turned Out and Iron Head. | | 8 |  | Helmet
Strap It On
The only song I vividly recall from this album was Sinatra. They played this during the encore instead of Milquetoast, upon fan request. Page indicated that he was playing his version, not the Deftones version (that he claimed he had never heard). | |

11.01.19 | these guys are immortal. they've been sounding amazing live for almost 30 years at this point | rodrigo90
11.01.19 | Minus Page's voice register | grannypantys
11.01.19 | that show sounds crazy fun assuming those old guys can still rock | JAV
11.01.19 | I was able to see them before Page's voice started to go, was an excellent show. | JDubb
11.02.19 | Honestly, the band was incredibly tight and the grooves impeccable. For someone nearly 60, Page can still sing pretty well. His guitar playing has not lost a beat with age. The nuances in his playing really come out live. | ConradTokyo
03.09.20 | Saw these guys at a warehouse in downtown L.A. for this tour! Just a couple months after seeing Killing Joke and Tool. They sounded amazing and i got to meet Page after the show. |
