Show Notes

Concert Experience:

- Attended Spiritbox's sold-out show at Rockwell (The Complex, SLC).

- Observations on the diverse crowd and high female representation compared to typical metal shows.

- Praise for the band's dynamic live performance, visuals, and tight set design.

- Standout songs: “Holy Roller”, “Soft Spine”, “No Loss, No Loss”, and “Crystal Roses”.

- Courtney LaPlante described as a "spooky angel fairy princess demon" for her mesmerizing stage presence.

Setlist & Discography Thoughts:

- Breakdown of Spiritbox's unique release strategy: multiple EPs and singles instead of traditional albums.

- Discussion of their rapid rise following "Holy Roller" and how they've kept momentum by staying in the public eye with frequent releases.

- Comparison to Weird Al's release philosophy in the digital age.

Opening Acts:

- Thoughts on Dying Wish (humorously misread as "Dingwish") and Loathe.

- Energy and effort were appreciated, but the music didn't quite land with either host.

Group Outing:

- The joy of going with a group: Hayden, Liv, Jess, and Jon joined for dinner and the show.

- Reflections on the generational experience of concerts and aging at shows ("these kids don't stand anymore").

Resistance Training = Fountain of Youth:

- Peter shares evidence-based insights on how strength training can improve longevity, skin quality, recovery, and overall health.

- Emphasizes the role of muscle in balance, injury prevention, and post-surgical recovery.

- "Pick something up, put it down, repeat until you're nearly out of gas -- that's the magic."
