COHEED & CAMBRIA TAKE HOLD AT PALACE THEATER
CONCERT REVIEW :: COHEED AND CAMBRIA
PALACE THEATER, St. Paul, MN
Sept 15, 2023
Review and photos by Brett Zisler
A vibrant Friday night in St. Paul, Minnesota got more than it asked for when Coheed & Cambria’s “Neverender -No World for the Waking Mind” tour stopped through. With the Palace Theater packed and the merch lines long, it was easy to tell this crowd was primed and ready.
The beauty of these neverender shows is, even though the crowd knows what songs are coming up next, with Coheed & Cambria, the excitement level never drops. With the lights going low and Claudio Sanchez opening the show playing “The Reaping,” you could feel the energy building as Travis, Zach and Josh slowly joined him on stage. As the opening notes of “No World For Tomorrow” hit and those stage lights went on, everyone in that venue knew it was full throttle from Coheed & Cambria from there on out.
As they played on, it became more apparent that Coheed has cemented themselves as one of the top progressive rock bands currently music. Here is a band playing an album over 15 years old and the crowd was hanging on every single word. The part of the show that really stuck out to me though was the second part of the show.
When Coheed & Cambria started the “Vaxis II: A Window of the Waking Mind” portion of the set, the level of crowd participation was incredible. I had a friend attending the show with me that was seeing them for the first time and he was floored at how much the crowd was into the new album. Lets be honest, usually when bands play new music right now at concerts, it ends up being the time people dash for the beer lines. Not at a Coheed show. Those fans stuck around and sang their hearts out to every song. To watch the crowd sing & move to “Liar’s Club” has turned into one of my favorite parts of recent Coheed & Cambria shows.
As the night came to an end, everyone left with the same feeling. How much fun they had and when will they be back next. That’s the best part now with Coheed, it doesn’t matter if it’s a new album run or neverender tour stop, it’s going to be one of the best shows you see each year.

Photos by Brett Zisler
GWAR retuned to First Avenue to do what they do best .. destroy everything in their path! GWAR fresh off their summer long amphiteater run supporting Mudvayne and Coal Chamber, took a headlining run to get them back to the East Coast. Aimed with a longer setlist and some new or returning favorites to slaughter, everyone went home with a parting gift proving once again GWAR is fun for the entire family!
CROBOT returned along with GWAR this time in the direct support slot with a longer setlist that was a nice mix of all their excellent albums!
