CONCERT REVIEW :: CLUTCH rattles the Palace!
CONCERT REVIEW :: CLUTCH, DINOSAUR JR, RED FANG
PALACE THEATER, St. Paul, MN
Aug 2, 2023

Review by Nick
CLUTCH brought their No Stars To Guide Tour 2023 to the Palace Theater on Aug 2 for what just might be the loudest concert I've been to in a long time! Not too many things feel better than a PA system cranked to the max with one of your favorite bands playing in front of you. Hands down, the best concert I've seen CLUTCH play. The set flew by and was packed with gems from throughout their entire catalog.
It would be hard to find a band that plays as tight together live as CLUTCH. These are masters of their professions. Neil Fallon is one of the best front people out there period. Tim Sult makes a guitar sing like none other. Dan Maines crafts groovy bass lines with ease. Jean-Paul Gaster lays the beats down with swagger. Put all 4 pieces of the puzzle together and you got one of the best rock shows your money can buy.
CLUTCH came out swinging with "The Mob Goes Wild" right in to "Earth Rocker" and everyone in that crowd knew they were in for a treat tonight. Newer songs like "Slaughter Beach" and "We Strive for Excellence" fit in seamlessly with crowd favorites "Burning Beard" and "Electric Worry". "Electric Worry" even got quite the mosh pit going and you could see the smile on Neil's face from anywhere in the room.
This is also the loudest I've heard the crowd yell and sing back to Clutch making the show that much more electric. I can only hope that this show becomes a release in their series of "The PA Tapes" that they are releasing as this was a show worth reliving over and over again. A setlist that can't be beat mixed with a band in the highest of top form.
RED FANG also delievered a foot to the floor face paced 30 minute opening set filled with the best of their catolog. It's been since 2018 that RED FANG was last in the area and they surely made up for the time apart. Cranking right in to "Blood Like Cream" starting off their set with precision. "Crows in Swine", "Arrows" and a crowd favorite "Wires" came in to the set before wrapping up with the classic "Prehistoric Dog". RED FANG was truly the best choice for an opening act for CLUTCH. They brought the riffs and packed it in to a nice, neat 30 min set that left the crowd begging for more.
