Clutch - Sioux Falls, SD - 5/12/09

It was a windy day but the rain held off. Clutch was the 3rd of a 6 band lineup that was headlined by Slipknot, Korn and The Used.  

I don't recall all the songs or the exact order but they played, but the ones I do remember being played were: Burning Beard, Child Of The City, Elephant Riders, Marcus, Mob Goes Wild, Profits of Doom (w/Wino(?)), Red Horse Rainbow and ended with Electric Worry/Dollar. In all had about a 50 minute set. A friend and I drove 3 hours to see Clutch.  

Got there just as the band in front of them was wrapping up, got some beers and enjoyed the show. They had, who I think they called Wino, as a guest guitarist that played during the Profits of Doom and actually was hanging out in the crowd after Clutch was done. So we got some pics with him and talked about the show/Clutch a bit. He said he could have hooked us up with tickets for the Des Moines show that was the next day (yesterday) but unfortunately we couldn't discard our other obligations to take him up on the offer.  

IMO, Clutch was the best band on the card and we even left during Korn's unenergetic, uninspired set...cheaper beers were far more important than watching mainstream noise. If there was any downside to the show was that we didn't get to see more of Clutch... but I still had a good time...
