In 2024, Mastodon held an intimate hometown warmup for their tour under the name Big Hairy Elephant. Last night, they reprised this performance at Atlanta's Earl, featuring Baroness' founder and artist John Baizley. The former Mastodon collaborator, who filled in for Bill Kelliher in 2010, led the set.
The night kicked off with a live debut of "Barbarians' Blood" from Mastodon's recent album Marrow Deep. This track had sparked a lawsuit from Brent Hinds' family. They also introduced fans to several newly recorded tracks for the first time: "In The Ruins," "Poisonous Weapons," and "Curl Of The Burl." Other first-time performances included "Colony Of Birchmen," "Oblivion," and "The Czar," all of which were last played back in 2013, 2018, and 2019, respectively.
The Poisonous Weapons Tour with Deafheaven and Alcest kicks off next Wednesday in Orlando. Today, marks 20 years since Mastodon's third album and major-label debut, Blood Mountain. Watch the footage and check out the setlist from last night's performance below.
