I posted this in the good shows thread and Ill post it here as well.
It was an amazing show last night. Opeth and Mastodon are my two of my favorite modern bands (Only bands since 2000 that come close to them are Wilco, Porcupine Tree, White Stripes) and seeing them together was incredible.
I was little late leaving work and walked in for the last Ghost song. I wish I had gotten to see the whole set. Their setup and costumes looked awesome. However, I have trouble taking them seriously, their lyrics remind me of the South Park episode where Cartman started Faith + 1, just insert Satan, rather than Jesus.
Mastodon - This was my 5th time seeing them, but first since 08 Bonnaroo. Last night was by far the best I have ever seen them play. Their vocals are so much more improved and the sound in the theatre was great. Highlights for me were Crack the Skye, Blood and Thunder, Dry Bone Valley, Stargasm, Blasteroid, Hand of Stone and Aqua Dementia. Very small complaint/Criticism is I would like them to play 2 or 3 less Hunter songs and add a few more from Leviathan, Blood Mountain and Crack the Skye. However, they packed in I think 17 songs into an hour and 15 minute set.
Opeth - Like always they were amazing. Great light show. Great between song banter from Mikael Akerfeldt. The whole show was nothing but highlights and the songs from Heritage really come to life live, but Windowpane and Folklore > Demon of the Fall > The Grand Conjuration were the highlights of the night. One hour and 10 minute set with 9 songs.
Amazing show overall, just wish I had gotten there in time to see Ghost. Also, the first time seeing a show at the Tennesee Theater, and I can't say enough positive things about the place. Cool building great sound and lighting, and comfortable. It is weird watching metal shows in theaters and my 18 year self would biznatch about it, 29 year old me likes it.
looks like Mastodon is playing the same setlist for every show: Black Tongue Hand of Stone Crystal Skull Dry Bone Valley Thickening Octopus Has No Friends Blasteroid Stargasm The Hunter Crack the Skye All the Heavy Lifting Spectrelight Curl of the Burl Bedazzled Fingernails Aqua Dementia Blood and Thunder The Sparrow
That poop has to get old for them...wish they would change it up. There's really no point in seeing more than one show on one of their tours.
Mastodon don’t play a style of music I listen to, but I am familiar with them. Funny Story.. I at the YMCA i locker beside Brent Hines's dad, who is very involved with a bible study they do at this Y.
He had been inviting me to the Bible study. One day I told him about my adventures at Bonnaroo and he suprised me with the news that he was Brent's Dad. I went home and googled it and found videos about him and how he guided Brent's early days of learning the guitar.
Probably common knowledge but the Album Hunter is named after Brent's brother who died last year and was an avid hunter.
Great set by Opeth and Mastodon in Charlotte last week. First time seeing each and was not very familiar with the stuff they played but I enjoyed it a lot.
