DaddyuWarbash ----------
(2004 live montage video)
This is a video I assembled a few years ago. I took various live clips I found on the net,
edited them together and then used the audio from the track "DaddyuWarbash." The end result
is a great little montage of the 2004 tour.
Thanks goes out to all those who put these clips online!

bP review:
FINALLY!!!! After years of watching/listening to bootlegs, dreaming of being at a SP show,
it finally happened on November 15, 2004. I had seen the crew a few years earlier during the Ohgr tour,
so this wouldn't be the first time I saw them perform. However, to finally hear some of my favorite SP
tunes, is like a dream come true. I had been a fan since '96 and never thought I'd see them live (with
everything that was going on, I didn't think it'd even be possible). Fortunately that all changed and
they were once again touring.
When I heard SP was playing in Cincinnati, I got kind of pissed cause I knew it'd be at Bogarts.
I've been to that venue numerous times and quite frankly, despise the place. The ventilation sucks,
the security crew are a bunch of assholes and the sound is usually bad. I was hoping SP would go to
Indianapolis or Louisville, but no luck. Fortunately, the venue didn't cause me much trouble this
time around and the music, for the most part, sounded great.
I'm not very good at explaining details, so I'm just gonna give off some thoughts. First off,
Hexonxonx sounded amazing live. That song put a huge smile on my face. After that song was played,
it became one of my new favorites. The "skit" performed during that song was quite interesting
and amusing. There's no doubt that SP isn't a fan of George W Bush. Some other songs that were
highlights included God's Gift, VX Gas Attack (though the microphone seemed to clip during this song),
Deep Down Trauma Hounds and Harsh Stone White. Actually, all songs were great, so no complaints there.
The costume Ogre wore during I'mmortal & Protest was very cool. Not sure exactly what it was suppose
to be, but looked great. My only gripe, which is just nitpicking, is that the show didn't seem to be a
full blown "stage show" as past tours. Now I realize Ogre is much older, so he's not gonna risk
injury like he may have in years past. He seemed more laid back and the stage show reminded me
of the Ohgr tour. At any rate, it was great to see these guys perform once again, but this time
under the SP name. I can't wait to see them again and I definitely await the upcoming DVD release!!

Probably the best concert i've been to in ages, although at the time i was miserable
(not the bands fault, i was just having one of "those" days). first thing's first: otto von
schirach ROCKED as an opener!!! i would absolutely LOVE to see this man play again in the near
future. some people didn't get it, but what the heck... get a sense of humor. his crowd interaction
was top-notch. tweaker was ok... i mean, vrenna's drumming rocks. but... i dont know, it felt kinda
forced. thats all i can really say on them. now... the lights turned down low, and footage of
cliffs and the sea appears on screen. then after a bit, this low rumbling and then radio-ish noise...
you could feel the tension and anticipation in the room. then this nasty raw brap ensues,
which lead into downsizer (one of my favorites of the show). i cant even begin to describe how
intense this film footage was. i could try to describe it, but you'll have to wait and see the
dvd if you didnt get to catch them live. ogre was wearing what has been called the "plague doctor"
outfit. it basically looks like some sort of hellraiser cenobite outfit mixed with a straight-jacket
and a bird monster. through the first few songs, ogre stripped out of this thing and became our
standard ogre-covered-in-stage-blood we all know and love. they cranked out song after song and
really showed that puppy are back and going strong. this was a tight set and a tight performance.
I give it an A+, as it will be one of the highlights of my life, for sure.
PITTSBURGH, PA 11/7/2004:

This was my first time to see Skinny Puppy live and I was excited.
After an awesome set by Otto Von Schirach, Skinny Puppy's show started with
a nature film that seemed too long as my anticipation was building as I
waited for the band to come out. Finally, cEvin Key, William Morrison and
Justin Bennet came on stage and started into Epilogue which ran straight
into Downsizer. Still no Ogre. While he was heard he was not seen. Then came
I'mmortal and Ogre running on stage at full speed in his bandaged bird-like
costume. As he went by me, I felt something cold hit my face, I looked down
at my shirt and realized I was hit with stage blood. This wouldn't be the
last time blood would splash on me during the evening, a welcome price any
fan pays for being at the front of a Skinny Puppy show. I couldn't have asked
for a better setlist. After a few songs from The Greater Wrong of the Right and
one from The Process they went into a set full of some of the best songs from
their long career including God's Gift (Maggot) and VX Gas Attack, two of my
all time favorites. Hardset Head had the audience going crazy, there was a
massise push from the back when it started. One humorous moment came during
Empte when Ogre tried to take off his costume while singing and it got
tangled in the mic cord and a roadie had to come out and assist him in
getting untangled. Hexonexon was a nice surprise which also featured
"George W. Bush" and "Dick Chaney" beheading Ogre. They then each held
up four fingers for four more years to which the audience responded by
holding up one finger back at them. The encore was Convulsion and Blue
Serge. I knew going in other cities on the tour got three songs for the
encore, so I was a little disappointed in that, but I won't complain too much.
Other than the stage blood which washed off easily another souvenir I got was
a piece of police line tape Ogre used during Harsh Stone White which is
proudly displayed on a wall in my home. Skinny Puppy has not retured to
Pittsburgh since this show, so it holds a special place in my memory.
Hardly a day goes by that something doesn't remind me of this one great night.
