The Hot Water Music reunion trail found it’s way into NYC’s Terminal 5 last Saturday. It had been a while since the boys had played in Manhattan so the crowd was very ready to scream along and get sweaty. And boy was it sweaty. The air surrounding the floor smelled of rich, B.O. Mmmm. Anyways, the boys blazed through a passionate and blistering set. The highlight of the show was “It’s Hard To Know,” from the band’s best record No Division. I think everyone in the audience was screaming “live your heart and never follow” louder than the band at one point. 

This was very much indeed a special show. Three amazing bands together during a weekend when it seemed like every great punk band was in town. An unforgettable and amazing concert all around. 

Check out photos, the set list and a video after the jump.

(A note Thursday left for HWM on stage. Sadly, they on played “The Sense” off this list. Why does HWM rarely play anything off Forever And Counting anymore?
