There were very few slow down moments throughout the night, but one notable one (if you want to consider it a slow down moment) was with the performance of Spacegrass.
With it being one of Clutch’s more popular songs, the 2,500+ fans in attendance certainly didn’t treat it like a slower moment in the night.
Closing out the night was nothing short of amazing in Bethlehem though. Clutch welcomed Mike Dillon of The Mike Dillon Band to come out and assist with percussion which created massive jam sessions. Combining Mike Dillon with JP Gaster is a match
made in percussion Heaven and I’m glad I was able to be a part of it. Watching the band openly jam to The Yeti and again during D.C. Sound Attack was nothing but
phenomenal.
After these two wonderful songs were over, Clutch took us home with their encore set which consisted of Electric Worry (arguably the band’s most popular song) and the first single off their newest album, X-Ray Visions. There is no way anyone left
unhappy after the night they’d been through.
While the end of 2016 mean the end of a tour for Clutch, it can only be a sign of more great things to come. We were lucky enough to have an exclusive interview with
Neil Fallon before the show at Sands Event Center to talk about what’s next for Clutch in 2017. For all the details, be sure to check out the interview here in Backstage Music Magazine, and the video version on our YouTube channel.
