    The Concert Thread

    I saw GVF open for Metallica two years ago. They were indeed quite a good set.

    The Concert Thread

    Honestly, it may be on me because I was on the 'outside' of the PA so it may have just been missing me. But, it reminded me like Maiden's 22 run where it sounded like everything was just being jumbled up in a concrete mixer at times - although with Maiden that was more because of the volume...

    Saw Judas Priest for the first time last night. I don't know if it's just the acoustics of the Rosemont Theater from where I was sitting (stage right 20 rows back), but the sound was godawful. Sounded tight from what I heard, but picking out the vocals and individual guitar notes during a riff...

    I don't like how long it took me to put this one together in my head. :D

    Metallica

    I had to read #10 like three times and decided I needed another coffee.

    KISS

    I saw ABBA Voyage in London and that was a jawdropping experience. This doesn't look anything close quality-wise to that.

    Bruce Dickinson

    Didn't really watch the video, but was more intent on listening to the song. Not sure how I feel about it. Felt disjointed in I'd dig one part of the pre-chorus/chorus, then the next part I wouldn't, then dig the next part. Didn't care for the verses much. Great riff though. Might grow on me.

    Wellllll, I was blocking the sidewalk as is, I'd probably guess 'no.' :p

    Allstate's convenient for me because I live four miles away and can use a family friend's driveway across the train tracks for parking, but, I hadn't been in there for at least 15 years and the place is just a relic.

    Saw Kiss last night at the Allstate Arena, the venue that Maiden's playing next year. Visually stunning show, but I kept going back to Bruce's line from earlier in the year of "Hmmm, that's weird how you just sang that while your mouth wasn't moving." Utter dump of an arena, no clue why it's...

    Megadeth

    Was just listening to Endgame again the other day. It's still the best of the post-Countdown albums in my mind and Broderick's playing is a part of that.

    Metallica

    Forgot to post in here that I saw both nights in St. Louis last week. Was a bit skeptical of the M72 stage going into it, but it worked really well (did help I had seats on the 50yd-line so I was never obscured by a pylon.) Band was easily visible and the sound was pretty good.

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    Saw Metallica there in 2018 up in the 300-level. Vocals a little muddy, guitars maybe too high. Probably more to do with the FOH mix rather than the venue's acoustics that day.

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    During the end of Iron Maiden and I guess during the encore break, security was absolutely beating the piss out of this one guy who I believe was actually instigating a lot of trouble down in the pit. Prior to the band starting The Evil That Men Do, Bruce points out what's happening (without...

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    See everyone in Rosemont (bit surprised to see them go there instead of United Center, but, hooray for not having to trek it to Tinley Park.) Will either also be at opening night in San Diego or in Vegas, probably Vegas, because it's Vegas. Also, so much for the proclamation of "We will never...

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I mean, at the same time, I don't think we're ever going to get anything as grand as Legacy of the Beast (particularly the 18-19 edition.) That tour set a pretty high bar.

    They were flying on The Prisoner. Nicko really went at it on the intro there.

    Trooper sounds faster than it did in Europe?

    Looking like I'll be skipping out on Vancouver this week. Hope everyone attending the Canadian run/Power Trip has a great time. Planning on hitting Chicago and the American opener next year, perhaps a few others?
