Due to a crazy series of lucky circumstances, I found myself in NYC on Saturday night, with my girlfriend and two tickets to see Chavez. Oh my, if the rumors are true and a full reunion tour is in the works, you must do everything you can to check them out live. This was my third time seeing them live, but the first since 1996, which is a record for me as far as most time between seeing a particular band live. They haven't missed a beat and just absolutely killed.
They played almost every song from the two albums, an early b-side, and both sides of the first 7". There was only one song I did not know, and I think maybe that was a new song, I'm not sure. Amazingly fun show though. They were all really into it and it was my first concert experience where I truly felt like a silly high school kid again. Fuck any actual high school reunion, this was it. One of the best concerts ever, when you factor in the show itself plus nostalgia.
Do whatever you can to see them if they decide to tour, you will not be sorry.
Here is the opening number:
