It was. Exodus were just as good as they were when I saw them open for King Diamond a couple years back, Souza's voice and demeanor is still there, and I'm still amazed how good they're sounding without Gary Holt, and Obituary? It's only been months since I caught 'em with Kreator, how Tardy tours this hard and keeps that Leviathan's gored, vomiting roar? Still beyond me. I was a lot closer the other time, but the viscerality wasn't diminished a bit.
