Live Concerts - Just Seen and Coming Up

Discussion
1

I think we need a thread to discuss all our random live shows that we just saw or are coming up.

Recently saw:
Misfits @ Riot Fest Chicago
Alice Cooper in Vegas
Mercyful Fate in Dallas
W.A.S.P. In Anaheim

Most exciting for me was W.A.S.P. Just last night, First time seeing them and they’ve been a favorite band for over 10 years, but Blackie hasn’t played in the US for about 13 years. The setlist was perfection for me and even included my all-time favorite “Heaven’s Hung In Black”. And Blackie looks way more fit and trim than memes in recent years would have you guessing, haha!

Upcoming:
Judas Priest - Nov.7, Ontario

I saw Napalm Death on Saturday night. Brujeria, Frozen Soul, and M.D.C. opened.

The guys in M.D.C. looked old and homeless. I felt bad. ND was pretty good, though. Really like them.

Zero shows coming up.

A buddy of mine is a super fan and stays on the MDC circuit. I honestly haven’t seen a new post about them for probably 15 years, but even back then David Dictor (vox, frontman) looked 80 years old, so I can only imagine.

Ha Ha the “old and homeless” stood out to me too. I didn’t know they were still a band.

Going to see Opeth in a couple of weeks.

Not sure they’re about them being a ‘must see’ live experience, but I’ve seen them before and it was enjoyable - although I admit I was pretty drunk.

:joy:

Opeth are fucking incredible live…see them every time they come through…where are you seeing them?

I’m going to see Opeth this month too.

It’s been a slow year for me. Only saw Neubauten in April (actually a 2020 concert) and recently attended a underground post punk/ dark wave festival. It was cool, small venue and good music. Most of the bands only play in big festivals nowadays and I promised never to attend a big festival again. Too many people, too many people that don’t give a fuck about the music…

Grumps and I saw Judas Priest last night. Holy fuck! I’m absolutely in awe of Rob Halford. Dude sounds as good as ever and was still nailing those brutal screams. And, yes, he rode his motorcycle on stage and we all went nuts. No “Painkiller” (sad face here) but it was such an incredible set loaded with big hits and deep cuts that I can forgive it.
He also came out with his Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame trophy and gave a lovely impromptu speech about how much it meant to him and how much he loved the heavy metal community and all the Priest fans. Such an awesome guy. He’s always been so sweet and humble that it makes his unique talent and dominating stage presence that much greater. After 50 years Priest is still at the top of the rock and roll food chain, steamrolling everyone.

Fucking awesome show. I’d been told Priest concerts were stellar and they definitely held up to the hype. Halford Belting out those high notes without missing a beat was pretty fuckin sick to see in person. I’m glad I went.
Queensryche was actually not a bad opener. Their new singer sounded pretty good with the songs they played. He obviously stayed more to the higher register songs since no one, I think, would be able to hit the low end in Queensryche songs like Geoff did. But Empire was the highlight of the set and it was pretty rad, although the whole band sounded pretty tight.
Neither band disappointed but Halford was clearly the stand out far and away. Been crafting your skill for 50 years what would anyone expect…
