Absolutely stunning. I've been to a fair few gigs, but nothing as amazing as the one on Friday. The sound quality, the lights, visuals, power... Just incredible. It's the first time I've seen them live and I definitely intend on seeing them again at some point. Couldn't get standing tickets, but then I think seated was probably better as we could just relax and take it all in.

I was hoping they would open with Stinkfist on Aenima, and my prayers were answered. Great start to the gig. Then they went on to Fourty-Six and Two and some of the heavier tracks on 10,000 Days before progressing to some of the more... psychedelic/ambient? (can't think of the word) tracks such as Wings for Marie etc. We were just sat in amazement. Worth every penny.

Did anyone else go?

My mate was there. Said he was at the bar when some guy tried to ask for a whisky and was then sick EVERYWHERE, projectile vomit style.

Haha, yummy!


nero120 - you are gonna love it! Keenan was amazing.




It's not enough. I need more. Nothing seems to satisfy. I don't want it. I just need it. To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive! :D
 
Yeah Mastodon were on when I went on Friday. First time I'd seen or heard of them, they were quite good. Only caught the last 45 mins of them though.
 
It's a big enough drumkit for the job!

Nice pics, exactly the same setup as the Manchester gig (figures I suppose!). Those green lasers were amazing and when those Egyptian-esque faces lit up with the heavy parts towards the end it just added to the impact.

Maynard didn't seem to face the crowd much when I watched them - he tended to stand sideways or with his back to us, hunched or stomping like some sort of Neanderthal/ape man. Worked well.

You were one of the.... the searchers?

You may have touched my arse.
 
At Manchester a guy sat next seat but one to me got removed by a guy in a yellow jacket, no idea what for either. Fortunately me and my friends didn't get kicked out for our crimes!

it is indeed a possibility
which doors did you come in?

Hmm, I don't know Manchester or the MEN well, but we got searched up some steps outside then entered through loads of glass doors. After the gig, we came out of the wrong side and ended up going under a tunnel?

Inside, we were in block 114, row L according to the ticket - some dude with a mohawk and pony tail ushered us to our seats.
