According to Loudwire, Chevelle toured extensively in 2017 in support of their 2016 album “The North Corridor”, the eighth record in the band's discography, with supporting acts Black Map and Dinosaur Pile-Up.
It was this tour specifically where I saw Chevelle the first time I ever saw Chevelle in concert when the trio hit my city on July 19th, 2017, and that's exactly why I'm revisiting it today.
The Chicago outfit hit the road across the United States including headlining dates across the West Coast, spring and summer legs in tandem with various festivals and other carnival pop-ups scattered throughout.
Other festival appearances include stops at Fort Rock, Welcome to Rockville, Lunatic Lua, CarolinaRebellion and Rock on the Range.”
“Once the spring leg of touring wraps on May 25, the band will get breather before hitting the road again July 9 in Cleveland. The summer run includes support from Black Map.”
Aside from their usual offerings “The Red” and “Face To The Floor”, among other hits, the setlist for the “TNC” tour included “a heavy ‘return-to-form’ sound, with popular setlist staples including‘Door To Door Cannibals’, ‘Joyride(Omen)’ and ‘Send The Pain Below’.”
The West Coast leg began with a sold-out show at The Fillmore in San Francisco, CA on January 13th, 2017.
The spring/summer dates of TNC tour 2017 were announced in March, running through spring and coming back in July, a stop at the House of Blues Cleveland was also added to the itinerary.
Additional stints alongside this trek included Fort Rock, Welcome To Rockville, a performance at the Great New York State Fair was also added.
Thanks, Google!
On or around the week of Memorial Day 2017, after surviving an awful car wreck in February resulting in totaling my first car before my second one broke down, "Joyride(Omen)” was aggressively overplayed every single day.
It took me back to the days of my adolescence when Chevelle's first two hits made their rounds on TV and radio.
It's a complete surprise to me I'd end up a fan so many decades later.
After being harassed by the radio DJ to buy tickets because it might sell-out, I was completely skeptical why anyone would continue supporting acts from my youth I personally consider old and outdated.
However, lo and behold, my show date indeed sold out as I snagged the last remaining tickets priced at about $50 or so.
I'll admit, I went to the show not only because entry was cheap and it's summer, which means I'm bored to death without any actual plans, but also because I just wanted to gawk and giggle at “Send The Pain Below” and “The Red” in a nostalgic moment of remembering youth.
Aside from the heavy anxiety and nearly panic attack while waiting in line, it was a wholesome fun time. Unfortunately, this wonderful moment was followed up by Hurricane Irma, completely quitting concerts by December and Dean departing from the band in 2019.
