Magic
The most magical moment in rock, according to Danko Jones, is somewhere along these lines .
Youre the first in line when the tickets go on sale, you waited three months since youve first heard that one of your favourite bands are coming to your home town and you get there early enough to get a position right in front.
It is 5 minutes to 9, the band starts playing at 9, you know it, everybody else knows it.
The drummer plays a signature drum kit, and there it is. The guitarist plays a signature Mummy guitar, and there it is, and you think to yourself: No Fucking way!!. And if someone from the venue would come on stage and tell you theyve cancelled, youd be the only one who wouldnt be surprised.
Then the lights go out and The ecstasy of gold starts playing and right after that they rip right into one of your favourite songs!! If you could bottle that moment Id be a junkie.
There were a lot of bands invited like Simple Plan and The Rasmus, but the fun started when Seether started playing. I know a lot of you disagree on them, but fuck it, Im South African and I like them, and they rocked.
After them Collective Soul was on, brilliant show, great stage performance, they played a lot from their first albums which was quite cool.
Then of coarse Metallica , you wont believe the set they played. Man what a concert, I could almost touch them, even caught one of James pics.
There were 45 000 people and for almost three hours all was forgiven. It was just them and biggest concentration of metalheads that this continent has ever seen, no politics, no religion no petty issues, just heavy metal blasting into the Centurion cricket stadium and 45 000 fists in the air!
Ill leave you with the set list do decide for your selves:
1 The ecstasy of Gold
2 Creeping Death
3 Harvester of Sorrow
4 For Whom the Bell Tolls
5 King Nothing
6 Fuel
7 Wherever I May Roam
8 St. Anger
9 Sad But True
10 Battery
11 Sanitarium
12 Master of Puppets
13 Enter Sandman
14 Fade to Black
15 Nothing Else Matters
16 One
17 Seek and Destroy
And yes, that was only one song from St. Anger
My pic I caught.

Me too! I was getting chills just reading that and remembering some shows that did that to me. Great way to build it up.
