Also, the people watching at that show in '99 was incredible.

Watch the US Festival video of Crue. He is not good.
But most people aren't going to these shows to see these performers at peak performance or anywhere near it.
They are going to check bands and songs off a bucket list.
As I texted my buddy last year when he had to bail on the Motley/Def/Poison/JoanJett concert -- "Enjoy being on your deathbed and having to come to grips that you never heard Unskinny Bop live".
That kinda music just ain't for me, and I'm fine with that.

This article is about my former boss back in the day (I was a lifeguard at Sea World) and Bret. They now see each other every time Bret is in SA and he says Bret is one of the most genuine and heartfelt guys he's met.

Last night at The Offspring/Simple Plan/Sum 41 was miserable. So hot, Simple Plan was supposed to go first but their guitarrist passed out and had to get an IV, so they had to change the set so Sum 41 would go first, hoping that by the time SP went on the sun would be gone. Sets were great, but also had a guy behind me to my left puke during Sum 41 (the guy directly behind me had vomit on his shirt lol)

Saw him in February for the first time. With his acoustic band.
It was excellent.
Those last two songs you mentioned can make anyone feel good.
Germania claims to hold 14,000 people but there are only 5,240 permanent reserved seats. I'm guessing they can squeeze in around 600 in the pit in front of the seats and there is no way that lawn can fit 9,000Proposition Joe said:maroon barchetta said:jorgerr96 said:

Germania in Austin.
The shed shows are taking a beating in Texas -- for the most part they are at that time of their life cycle where they are hosting acts that are a major stretch (Offspring and Co. have no business playing a 20k amphitheater. Ditto the other acts recently like Boy George/Culture Club and Morris Day and The Time), but LiveNation has to fill out a contractual calendar so smaller acts get bumped up.
But it's compounding in a year like this with regular ridiculously hot temperatures.
Mudvayne (tonight at Dos Equis in Dallas) has should be headlining a 8k venue. Put them in a 20k outside venue and have it start when the thermometer is sitting at 106?
No thanks.
Going to Pantera tonight. We went to Slightly Stoopid/Sublime a few weeks ago and it was insanely hot...that being said, when we got up to the lawn we found that the place to be was the far left side of the lawn (if facing the stage), as there was a pretty consistent breeze coming through making it feel pretty pleasant.maroon barchetta said:jetch17 said:

Went to ZZ Top and Skynyrd. A couple weeks ago. The sun not getting behind the hill until 8:30 or so is not helpful.

You gotta see Lamb of God. Saw them with with Megadeth a couple years ago. I didn't know their stuff but they were great
Looking forward to the both shows tonight!!
And yes, gotta use the lounge bathrooms
Good stuff, thanks. I'm Becoming excited for this show, although I know the heat will so F***ing Hostile I will want to be Shedding Skin. Especially during the Walk over. Will require Strength Beyond Strength and possibly Good Friends and a Bottle of Pills.62strat said:
setlistfm shows a random pantera show at 9:15-10:40.
Denver shows says 7pm show time.. single opener @ 30 min, 20 min change, LOG at 60 min, 20 min change, so 9:15ish sounds about right.
That's a new level of puns right there. All 10's for sure. That would have taken me 25 years to come up with all of that, but I bet you only spent about 5 minutes alone. Now excuse me while I take 13 steps to nowhere and go use my third arm IYKWIMBG Knocc Out said:Good stuff, thanks.
