This was seriously one of the best shows I've ever been to.
An absolutely packed theatre (aliasp - have you ever seen Thebbie so tightly packed!!), the crowd was on fire, and both Slayer and Mastodon were absolutely sensational.
I've seen Slayer 4 times and this was by far the best time. Their setlist was amaaaaazing (pretty much all the classics you'd hope for and some newies too), and I couldn't help but find myself grinning ear to ear all night. This band has an amazing following, so much moreso than any other band I can think of, and the crowd seemed pretty cool overall too.
Mastodon played for 45 minutes and were awesome as well; played lots off Blood Mountain but I must admit I was surprised - I thought the punters would've been slightly more into them than they were. Nonetheless I thought they were great and a good choice for that difficult job opening for Slayer.
A great night - best metal gig I've seen in years.
