In June 2023, American psychedelic stoner-rock band King Buffalo from Rochester performed at Freak Valley Festival, an annual open-air event in Netphen, Germany, dedicated to heavy psychedelic rock and stoner. Their June 9 set became a highlight alongside Graveyard and Colour Haze, showcasing material from albums like The Burden of Restlessness (2021) and Regenerator (2022). Captured professionally, the performance caught them in hypnotic form: Dan Reynolds' heavy guitar riffs and vocals, Sean McVay's bass lines, and Scott Donaldson's drums crafted a prolonged psychedelic trip under summer skies. This gig—a standout tour moment—proved their mastery in epic sound on an open stage.
