Holy ****!!! They were awesome.... so tight... never missed a cue or a note...guitar attack perfect.... tone... balance in the mix perfect....Halford sang some counter melodies in Painkiller.... but other than that he was right on....did Eat Me Alive... takes on a whole new meaning when you know he's gay....opened with the title cut to Nostradamus and played Angel from last years cd...other than that a greatest hits show...
Heaven and Hell were good but everything they did turned into a 10 or 15 minute Tony Iommi blues based metal jam with a LOT of special effects and more noise than actual playing if you know what I mean... Dio's voice was spot on and powerful as hell though.... the mix wasn't as good for them.... they may have been even louder than Priest ... but piercing..., Dio was really a hair too upfront in the mix.... but man that's a lot of voice for such a little guy.
Motorhead.... fun but they're no headliners....
Testament... who gives a ****? Drank wine in the parking lot during their set...
They only drew 9000 people... and that was a huge market to draw from.... I can understand why they wouldn't come to NC... if that's all they can do where there are 10 million to draw from within a 90 minute drive from the venue they would crash and burn for sure around here...too bad.... they were prctically flawless

Wait. Heaven and Hell and Motorhead played as well? And in your other thread you didn't mention that? <slapslapslap>
Yes, littlek. I was just thinking the same thing! Where was that, bear?
northern va just outside of DC...
they're all around you in the next week or so k.... upstate NY, Long island, toronto, hartford...good show.
Yeah well...... maybe next time.
I can't believe Dio can still sing like that....he just turned 66...Halford at 57 is just a pup....
