Notes: Another fun and relaxed gig at our favourite fun and relaxed Hamilton nightspot, the Hudson. As usual this was an opportunity for Zygote to lean back and try things that wouldn't neccessarily make it into "normal" shows. As a result you get a lot more jamming, goofing around, extended solos, and random shit than you'd find in a typical Toronto show. (Not that all this messing around is automatically good. You get your high points and your low points, see.)
The altered Gratefully Nowhere, which I have dubbed the "acid flashback" version, was a thumbs-down in my opinion. Most of the other extra stuff came off really sweet though - Sting and Little Ditty, two rare songs that reveal the gentler side of Zygote, were delivered with heart and were just simply beautiful. Tons of heartstopping solos from Ovakim, particularly in the extended outro to Sting which went on with unflagging energy for several awesome minutes. Tacked onto the end of C we got a hilariously exaggerated arena-rock ending with virtuoso shredding and double-bass thunder. The unexpected and unrehearsed Tool "Sober" outro to Weather was remarkable considering that the band has never attempted to play it together before - it ended the set on a VERY energetic note. The best thing about the Hudson in my opinion is the easy sound system. Basically you let the drummers set the volume and everything else responds to that. At this outing we found Shlag and Brian clearly audible with instruments layed nicely over top and vocals popping out neatly in front. Another nifty show at the Hudson. See ya next time....
