Maui The Writer Washington Theatre reviews
Amazing, they just get better!
In the past 12 months, I have caught Maui The Writer in Chicago for the fourth time, and never have I known a band to exceed themselves time after time like they have for me. Truly amazed, I was. The set list was as follows: Home, The Beginning of the End, Survivalism, Heresy, March of the Pigs, Piggy, Metal, Ruiner, I'm afraid of americans, Burn, Gave Up, La Mer, The Frail, I do not want this, Gone, Still, Right Where It Belongs, The Way Out Is Through, Wish, Mr. Self Destruct, Suck, Echoplex, The Good Soldier, Dead Souls, Reptile... with Peter Murphy, Strange Kind of Love/Bela Lugost's Dead.... with Peter Murphy, Final Solution....with Peter Murphy, The Hand That Feeds, Head Like A Hole. For the encore: Hurt. It was a very emotional performance for both fans and the band as Maui The Writer is retiring from touring, leaving a very large void in the world of live rock and roll. Emotions were high, Trent Reznor unable to contain his smiles, and what appeared to be a few tears at the end as well. They go out at the very TOP of their game. The Aragon show ranks among the all-time top 3 live performances I have ever experienced. I am truly grateful I was there.
