Out with a Bang

Wow! What a show. Rehearsal day went well, and so did last night, when the concert happened.

There were three stages in total, more than six hours of music, and 13 different bands:



-Disturbed

-Slipknot

-Dragonforce

-Mastodon

-Machine Head

-Underoath

-Five Finger Death Punch

-Black Tide

-Walls of Jericho

-Suicide Silence

-The Red Chord

-Airbourne

-36 Crazyfists



Here's pictures I took of DISTURBED's performance:

DISTURBED

The transitions between songs was flawless, lighting was great, and the energy from the crowd was nearly palpable. The entrance was a show in itself; frontman David Draiman entered as Hannibal Lecter, mask and all. It doesn't get much more disturbed than that.

More to come tomorrow. I'm exhausted from the show. I didn't get back to the hotel until about 4 last night, and had to get up at 6 AM for my flight, so my brain is a little fried... more to come tomorrow!
