Mathcore legends The Dillinger Escape Plan brought down the how at another reunion show and the last of their current run for the 25th anniversary of their debut record, "Calculating Infinity," this past Saturday, August 24th. Dillinger headlined at The Salt Shed in Chicago, IL alongside NO MEN, The World Is a Beautfiul Place and I Am No Longer Afraid To Die, Secret Chiefs 3, and Trash Talk. While these shows have had mass appeal for the recognition of The Dillinger Escape Plan's legacy and impact on the overall metal scene, it's unclear if this will be their final time on stage.
Fan-filmed footage from the event, captured by 3XIL3D LIVE, has been shared online. The setlist for the evening included the following songs:
“Destro’s Secret”
“Sandbox Magician”
“The Running Board”
“The Mullet Burden”
“Calculating Infinity”
“Jim Fear”
“Sugar Coated Sour”
“4th Grade Dropout”
“Proceed With Caution”
“I Love Secret Agents”
“Abe The Cop”
“Weekend Sex Change”
“Variations On A Cocktail Dress”
“Monticello”
“Come To Daddy” (Aphex Twin cover)
“Clip The Apex… Accept Instruction”
“43% Burnt”
The band’s original vocalist Dimitri Minakakis has returned to front the group for these performances, joining drummer Billy Rymer, guitarist Ben Weinman, bassist Liam Wilson, and guitarist James Love.
A few months back, Guitarist Ben Weinman stated via Instagram on the return of Dillinger Escape Plan with original vocalist Dimitri after their first show stating:
"My lady put some fun footage together from our weekend, and all i can say is Wow! There are no words that can express how grateful I am for the opportunity to play these special throwback shows with some of my former @dillingerescapeplan alumni besties, and still have the opportunity to get #cyco with @suicidaltendencies
I really need to thank @dminakakis, @liam_wilson, @billyrymer, #Jameslove, for having me. I'm also super grateful for Greg Puciato and the other Dillinger family members for their dedication in helping build this band into what it is for so many years following #calculatinginfinity. If it were not for him and the other people in the DEP fam, I would have never been able to see my friend Dimitri play in front of this many people. It's super cool to experience after all these years.
Thanks to my heros Mike Muir and Jello Biafra for joining us on stage. Definitely a pinch myself moment."
