Yesterday night I saw Biomechanical live again after seeing them two years ago at the Headway festival. The sounds was very bad, I could hear John barely. Also the crowd was not exactly participating imho. The band gave it their all. And seemed to enjoy themselves but even I, with the sound being as it was, could not really get into the show as much as I wanted. Kinda frustrated me though. This band deserves so much better! :-(
Then again Eindhoven, because of the Dynamo history, is Old School territory.
Later I met and talked to John K who was very friendly. I enjoyed meeting you man! Next time I hope you guys get the sound and crowd reaction you deserve.
Exodus played up a storm. They have a long history with Eindhoven and the Dynamo pub and festival. The first time they played in Eindhoven was in 1985 when they destroyed the place with Paul at the vocals.
They came back in 1988 for the infamous Dynamo festival and played the night before the festival in the pub again. Magic!
Now they were back! Needless to say the crowd was insane and Exodus RAGED! They focussed on the last two albums and Bonded in Blood. Smart choice imho!
Within two songs there was a raging pit and even some stage divers now and then. I felt like I was back in 1987! They really found their man with Rob though. This is the guys that can do justice to the legendary metal history of Exodus! It was pure joy to see and hear the band perform at this level. I got the feeling both the band and the crowd were having the time of their live.
Killer gig!!
Rob Dukes is the man!
