Forbidden's entire 30 October concert at Reggies in Chicago is online, filmed properly rather than on phones, and the full fifteen song set is on it.
The set runs from Infinite and Single Point Failure through Twisted Into Form, Forbidden Evil, Off The Edge and Chalice Of Blood, which is a reach across the whole catalogue rather than a run through the newest album.
The rhythm section is the thing to listen for. Matt Camacho and Chris Kontos are sitting out this American run for personal reasons, with Avery Thurman and Eli Lucas standing in.
Craig Locicero is blunt and warm about both halves of that. "They both have personal commitments that they have to handle as real adults in the real world that they can't do this run, but we got them back for next year," he told Pod Scum. Of the substitutes: "the guys we got are phenomenal, and they're younger and hungry, and great musicians."
He was braced for complaints and did not get them. "We put up the note, like, man, people are gonna be bummed, and then immediately people are, like, those two guys are amazing."
