Last night was billed as the Ashes of Leviathan Tour.
Malevolence, Kerry King, Mastodon and Lamb of God.
I missed the first act, heard their last song as I was entering, oh well.
First up was Kerry King who were in fine form and the sound guy had them dialed in really well.
Then Mastodon and this was a crying shame as I think they played well but the sound was atrocious, maybe the sound mixer guys did not like them but I never truly heard one word they sang, guitars were way overbearing drowning out everything else in the mix.
Then the headliners Lamb of God.
Again the sound was very sub par, this time the guitars were a bit subdued and the bass and drums were over whelming, vocals so so.
A real shame but unfortunately Dailys Place has a bad reputation for poor sound.
However hard to complain for just $25 for the night.
Always annoying on a multi band concert when the sound is all over the place.
But as you said it was great value, even if it leaves you a little disappointed
Had a great time yesterdy together with Mrs. Jay on the final day of “Arena Beer Week” listening to local acts KRPL, Hypnotic Floor & Triptonus. Legendary venue, cool people & good beer.
Kim Gordon at Festsaal Kreuzberg, Berlin, a month ago, but my photos were poor. (And I love KG and have the greatest respect, but I thought it was a bit lackluster)
And F.S.K. (Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle) on Friday. They are so old now that they didn’t want to mention the release years of the songs It was so much fun and they have been the smartest German band for 45 years. No photos because they played in the garden of ://aboutblank to start off a weekend-long techno festival and so the camera lenses were stickered shut.
Left To Die (Terry Butler, Rick Rozz, Gus Rios and Matt Harvey) are paying tribute to Chuck Schuldiner’s band Death. They performed the entire “Leprosy” album and some tracks from Death’s debut “Scream Bloody Gore”. It was great to hear those tracks live again/for the first time
Foo Fighters. A true rock concert… almost 3 hours of 100%.
Very thankful I scored field level seats in San Diego.
My only regret was not getting the poster.
The Annie Keating (UK Band) played the Brightlingsea Music festival shortly after the release of Annie’s new live vinyl album recorded at The Little Rabbit Barn.
Here are some pics I took
Performers included: Bennie Maupin, Bill Summers, Harvey Mason, Marcus Miller, Lionel Loueke, James Gunus, Terrance Blanchard.
2 sets one with Herbie and originals and the other with his current band of younger and as he said faster players. Herbie however at 84 can more than keep up with them.

hope you had a great time!
