EDIT: Mind my spelling error in the post title. It's supposed so say in not im.
All I can say is wow. The show was unbelieveable.
The first band, I don't even remember their name. They weren't great.
The second band, Burst, was awesome! I had never heard of them before tonight and they put on an awesome show. Very different than most metal bands today. They were a mixture of folky music, with a dash of King Crimson, a touch of Killswitch Engage (the singer screamed like him) and a pinch of Moonspell. Regardless, it was very unfortunate I saw them this late in the game; this is their farewell tour. They were a bunch of wonderful guys who put on a great show.
For Gojira, I have never seen any band perform live with such vigor, accuracy and power. If you have a chance to see them, DO IT. The songs were even more amazing then they were recorded on disc, which is quite the rarity in today's world. Most bands put on a good, or lackluster show; Gojira brought their A-game, 100%. At the end of the show the whole band jumped off stage to get closer to the crowd, shook as many hands as they could and jetted off. Mario Duplantier (the drummer) gave me a nice brisk hug as well. I would say that's a pretty nice gesture from someone you don't even know!
The setlist was: 1. Oroborus 2. Backbone 3.Ocean Planet 4. Remembrance 5. The Art of Dying 6. Where Dragons Dwell 7. Flying Whales 8. Toxic Garbage Island 9. Vacuity (I may have forgotten one song)
Here are my physical reminders of the night:
The Stub:
The Shirt:
The Stick! (guess who it's from
)
