Further commentary on last night.

Since my battery was ending I had to make last nights review brief. I have since found some juice I wanted to expand on the scene a little more. First off, I chose by pure coincidence to wear my AC/DC tee shirt (it was clean). Once I made it to the VIP area I found a good angle to clearly see the opening. The crowd was enormous, and jacked up as well. All of a sudden the sound system cranks out "long way to the top if you want to rock n roll" from the good ole Bon Scott days of AC/DC. There was an instant recognition from all those in my proximity and I was overtaken by fired up metal heads all wanting to give me high fives and fist pumps. I started to tell them I wasn't an official represented of that wonderful band from Australia, but I was too busy enjoying the gratification from my eager brethren. So, as I mentioned previously Metallica opened with a thunderous rendition of Creeping
Death". Their entire setlist was from the black album and before. All pre-napster controversy. It was as if the band decided to renew their vows with the faithful diehards. Metallica's lyrics have a deep connection to their fans personal lives. This observation was clearly obvious during "Sad but True". Hetfield is a master at ochestrating his legions, and it is a sight to see someone command the audience so deftly. My favorite moment was most likely during "One" from And Justice For All. They fired up some massive pyrotechnics and effects to enhance the dramatic staging for this song. I also very much enjoyed "Nothing Else Matters" and "Unforgiven". Overall the entire setlist was very appropriate and well received by the mass of true believers. The covenant with Metallica's followers has been restored. I am pleased to have been able to witness it. Today is a full slate of must see
events. I can't imagine anything topping Day 2, but I am eager to find out. We have a slew of choices to make, but we are all in accordance with being there for BB King, Pearl Jam, and Kanye West. Stay Tuned, it might be a while before I get to check back in. I may not even have time to eat today.
