Pretty good. Page can't do the screaming anymore but other than that he sounded fine. They opened with Betty and played all the way through nonstop. The second half included In the Meantime, Ironhead, Give It, FBLA II, and about 6 or 7 other songs. They closed with Unsung.

A few notes, the crowd thinned out some after Betty, then got a little smaller throughout the second half. Started off with a good crowd though. Page called out System of a Down for "co opting" a riff from some song on Strap It On. That was kinda cool to see. Page seems like a nice guy, he took a few minutes to shake hands with everybody and even apologized for drunk at the last show at OEJ's. All in all, it was a good night.

I saw them Sat night in Atlanta. Was really cool to see entire Betty album all the way through. Lot of fun. Crowd stayed packed entire time. Sounded great, super tight. Was a really fun time. Loved them when I was 13 or so and this was the 1st time I saw them live. (Although really just Paige and some younger dudes) but those younger dudes rocked and played their asses off. Definitely recommend going - also, this weekend Torche is coming to Spanish Moon in BR. This is a must see as well. Really awesome band that just released a new album that is highly praised as one of the best of 2015 metal albums

Great show last night. Really small crowd, though. The band sounded great and Page seemed to be enjoying himself. The drummer really drives Helmet's sound with the time changes and he did a great job.

What show did you go to? Pretty small crowd in Shreveport last night. As mentioned in this thread, they sounded very crisp. I was also impressed with the drummer.
