Fan-filmed video footage of the concert can be seen below.

A review is available at LAWeekly.com.

Regarding why KYUSS guitarist and founding member Josh Homme is not involved in the reunion, Garcia told Rock Sound, "I have nothing bad to say about Josh he's extremely intelligent, very smart, a great guitar player, great songwriter, a great vocalist he is a bad-ass, there is no question, and I love him dearly but he is busy with his own thing. He has THEM CROOKED VULTURES, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, he's a father, a businessman and even if we asked him to do it, I don't think he'd say yes, so I don't want to set myself up for a big fat no which is 99.9 percent what he would say."

KYUSS LIVES! recently revealed that it will record a new studio album following the band's current tour.
