Just like the pied piper
They Rocked.
Last night's show was supposed to be in the Eagles Ballroom but got moved to the Rave instead. (I thought the whole thing was The Rave??) The Rave room is a lot smaller than the ballroom. Kindof reminds me of the MTV Live & Loud set. The band that was playing when we got there was HORRID! There is a good reason there are not more female metal singers. All I gotta say is I would NOT want to get in a screaming match with that chick. Holy shit. We were a bit late and only had to sit through 2 of their songs so that was good. They left the stage about 8:45. From then until 9:30 we just stood there. About every 10-15 minutes the crowd would start chanting "Megadeth..Megadeth" but there was no Megadeth. Not for 45 damn minutes. But they eventually came out and got on with the show. We got some old songs along with new. The set list was:
- Sleepwalker
- Take No Prisoners
- Wake Up Dead
- Skin O' My Teeth
- Gears of War
- She-Wolf
- In My Darkest Hour
- Hangar 18
- Washington Is Next
- Kick the Chair
- A Tout Le Monde
- Tornado of Souls
- Reckoning Day
- Peace Sells
- Never Walk Alone
- Symphony of Destruction
Encore: - Holy Wars...The Punishment Due
That's not a complete list but it's the best I can remember and should be close to in order. The sound was pretty bad in the room. I don't know if it was just turned up too much or if it sucks for acoustics in there. Peace Sells, Symphony, A Tout Le Monde, Hangar 18 and Skin o' My Teeth were probably the clearest which was cool because of what they played those were some of the best picks. There's still some that would have been cool.. Anarchy in the U.K., Countdown, High Speed Dirt, 99 Ways to Die, among others. Oh well. Maybe they'll play Summerfest one of these years. It should sound better with an outdoor stage.
