Godspeed You! Black Emperor at Palace Theatre (09 Nov 2024)

Godspeed You! Black Emperor Setlist
|
Montreal’s Godspeed You! Black Emperor recently headlined the Palace Theatre, in St Paul, in support of their latest album No Title as of 13 February 2024 28,340 Dead. Their name, especially with that new album title, really need to belong to an update to our …And You Will Know Us by the Ridiculously Long Band Name and Other Obnoxious Idiosyncratic Moniker article.
Alan Sparhawk (of Low) opened the show. He’ll be playing with them until November 24, 2024 (however Kee Avil was announced as support in New York).
We previously saw Godspeed in Feb 2016 and wrote, “The Canadian, nine-piece, post-rock collective took over the stage with all of their amps, cords and pedal boards. They formed a circle on the stage and started playing their songs without even acknowledging the crowd. There were no vocal microphones set up for them to introduce themselves but judging by the overly excited crowd, they didn’t need an introduction. The music lulled me into a different world full of pillows and memory foam but I wasn’t sleepy like I have been at other shows like this. It sounded like many of the other bands in this genre that I have seen before and have pretty slept through so it wasn’t the music that was keeping me awake. I could barely see the stage because of how packed it was so it wasn’t that watching the band was super exciting. To be honest, I can’t tell you why it was so magical. The musicianship was amazing. The fact that these guys seemed cohesive as a group but weren’t doing anything that fit together rhythmically at times was mind blowing to me.”
