For those who asked, here are the other clips I shot from Tuesday’s show in Dallas. All of these Cynic clips were shot much closer to the stage, so you get a much better look at Reinert’s ownage. The last link is part of two BTBAM songs, with some stage banter in between.

Part of me regrets not taping more full-length songs, but I also didn’t want to stand there holding my camera over my head for the entire set. Had to rock out a little too. :)

Yeah, I saw him getting carried, it looked like he was face-down. As for white shirt, I’m pretty sure he had a short mohawk, but I couldn’t tell you the color.

I was in the back, opposite side of the entrance. When they carried that guy out, they carried him horizontally and face down (?)…and blood was pouring down the front of his face onto the floor.

Did the guy in a white shirt have a blue mohawk?

Robert’s right. Check @dvntownsend on Twitter and he apologizes for the sound issues at the first couple of shows on this tour. Plus, it’s been four years since he played live, so that couldn’t have helped.

I agree with Leprosy. Paul’s personality isn’t one of a ‘dynamic frontman’. Just singing and playing what they play is an enormous challenge, so the occasional times when he breaks into a bit of a head bang or hop around the stage, it means more. I’d liken it to the first time I saw Eric Johnson live: Boring frontman …. but how much more can you ask from someone? They can’t all be the guitar players from Dillinger Escape Plan, LOL

I shot a few bits and pieces of songs of Cynic and Devy. Most of my Cynic footage was from up close, but the audio quality wasn’t quite as sharp (better to be further back for audio). Also, the idiot moshing emo kids bumped into me during a few, so I stopped recording when that happened. I still have all the clips though, and I can post them to YouTube this weekend. Then, I’ll either A) come back here in the comments and post links, B) post links on Twitter (http://twitter.com/LordBling), or C) You can follow me on YouTube (LordBling17) and then you’ll see when I post them. I’ll play it safe and do all three. :) I’m on the road for work right now and the footage is at home, but I’ll definitely post them either Friday night or Saturday sometime (if I can pull myself away from Assassin’s Creed 2!).

And TonyT, I heard that kid say, ‘Play something BROOTALS’ as if he was Skwizgar or something. Of all the metal bands out there, Cynic isn’t one you act like a retard during their set, no matter how young you are. But hey, it’s these damned kids these days! (shakes fist) … now get off my lawn!

I am super soked as well. I am seeing him in Brisbane and it is going to be insane.

That happened to me too. I was on the BTBAM guest list (I have a friend at the record label) and I stood in the Ticketmaster line on the left, but apparently I was supposed to just walk up to the podium and announce that I was on a guest list. That never happened at any of the shows I’ve been to at the old Gypsy Tea Room. But, now I know for the next time.

I get to see Devin in Melbourne in March, with only one support act. So I am looking forward to a nice extended Devin set :)

Paul masdival (or however you spell it) is a great frontman. his songs are extremely hard to play and to sing with them is amazing. but Cynic played every song perfectly. i loved it.

that blonde guy did that during BTBAMs set cause his boss was being an asshole to him and making him work harder.

I was at the dallas show too. i was on the left side of the stage about 3 feet from touching the stage. i saw paul waggoner close up and was just amazed at all the intensity all the bands were making. at the end i almost got pauls guitar pick but some municipal waste looking fuck got it before me but i got devins set list. i almost stole pauls slide he used on “swim to the moon” but i decided not to.

did you think the fat fuck security guy was a complete asshole”? he kicked a guy out for smoking a cigarette and almost broke the PA.

great show but i think devins set was lacking, just not enough energy from the band.

No, but there were some guys in line behind me that were in the wrong line. Not to mention they left the side flood lights on during the whole friggin show, kinda took me out of the show. Not to mention they were being smoking nazis, aaaaaannd that blonde guy kept running across the stage every other minute some guy hopped up on the stage to jump off. Worst. Venue. Ever.

Yea, also one of them said at one point “Play something BROOTAL!” I too wanted to break out the kung fu

Venue’s organization skills are lacking. Anyone else get stuck in the wrong damn line for an hour only to find out they should’ve been in the other line?

Apparently it was a different show in Dallas because everything went without a lick of issues, and he was funny. Sounded great. Sorry you missed out. My only gripe was that Devy only got a 30 minute set.

I absolutely love Cynic to death, but could Paul be more boring of a frontman than he already is? Even though I’ve seen him make a couple of jokes live, he still acts like hes in the midst of a heroin binge between songs. I know Cynic isn’t really all about the show and more about the amazing musicianship, but still.
