 Jason Worthley [show #134] Slayer's final tour and it was phenomenal! I sure will miss them, but they deserve retirement. Never thought I'd cry at a Slayer concert, but when Tom Araya's paced the stage at the end, just taking it all in, and finally his voice cracked as he said goodbye...I couldn't take it. Testament and Anthrax were great of course. Anthrax came out playing the beginning of Cowboys from Hell in honor of newly deceased (may he rest in peace \m/) Vinnie Paul. And they ended their set playing the end of Cowboy's. It was great. Lamb of God was awesome. Napalm Death is not really my type of death metal, but they were good. Didn't expect the singer to be English. :) Impact fest Dec 09, 2023
 Jason Worthley [show #135] The main thing that ticked me off about the venue is that they had a gated section for 21+, which is usually fine, only here, on the 2 second stages, they actually gated off 1 of the stages, so because I was with my nephew, we couldn't even go up close to the stage for the bands we wanted to see over there. Idiotic! Aside from that, Powerman 5000 was good, still very much full of energy. They deserve to be on the main stage--I don't know where their fame went. Hollywood Undead was really good, too. Emmure, as well. Kind of a heavy rap type band. On the main stage (we decided to upgrade our tickets from Lawn to Pit for only $20 more, and it at least got us out of the sun most of the time. C.O.C was good, and I spotted Zakk Wylde on the side of the stage watching the show. Trivium and Gojira got the crowd pumped. Trivium are a good live band. BLS was great. Zakk played a long solo with his guitar on his shoulder, behind his head. Came down and played most of it between the center divider, finishing on stage using his mouth. Avenged Sevenfold were supposed to be headlining, but the singer got sick. Prophets of Rage backed out because they were touring with AS. But...Three Days Grace decided to make the trip so that was cool of them, they were cool. Chevelle took AS's place and they've played better shows. It was a little disappointing. They didn't seem to have the crunch they used to have. Impact fest Dec 09, 2023
 Jason Worthley [show #143] Oh, man! I never thought I'd be able to see Pantera on stage again. With Phil and Rex the only surviving members (RIP Dimebag and Vinnie!!), it was more than okay to get Zakk Wylde and Charlie Benante to fill the roles. It was a great show and great time. I so wish I could have been in the pits for this one. Lamb of God put on a great show as well, as they always do. King Parrot had some good music but I just wasn't digging the vocals. Too screechy for my taste. Could have been good with lower vocals, like Hatebreed. Carnivora was that band playing on the side as we walked in, and again on the way out. Female singer with some heavy pipes. They were pretty good. George and Tabitha were at the show, and apparently lots of people from work were there. Can't wait to see Pantera again.

 Maurice Wanadoo I was working the door. Mr Diddley was sick, wouldn’t go on stage. We had to get him pepto bismo. He was able to perform! Sat in a chair, but boy could the man play still! Bo Diddley Dec 08, 2023

 Black Reacher I saw the Go-Betweens in New York City around 1987. Ireland's A House opened. These two bands could'n't have been more different. The Go-Betweens Dec 08, 2023
 Sable D Draiman was a p**** who had me forcibly picked up and removed from the venue - even though I was there working for Sony as the official photographer. So I decided not to post any photos that included him. Disturbed / Panic Cell Dec 08, 2023
 Black Reacher When they came to the Ritz, Camper Van Beethoven came on before the Mighty Lemon Drops. Also, there was a heckler in the audience when the Chameleons played. He threw Mark Burgess off his game a bit. The Chameleons Dec 08, 2023
 Sofia A Literally the next day, March 11th, Los Angeles announced the first Covid lockdown, following the lead of many cities around the world. Will never forget that concert Tame Impala / Clairo Dec 07, 2023

 Jason Worthley [show #138] My first time at the new Maine Savings Pavilion. Hopefully they improve a little while they build Rock Row. The center music box was obstructing half the stage so I hopped online and purchased closer tickets. Shouldn't have to do that but I won't fall for that twice. Other than that, the sound was superb and there was virtually no waiting between bands, other than the initial setup. Motionless in White was a great opener. Reminded me of the God Bombs a little. Halestorm is just a great rock band. Much rather be seeing them live than listing on the radio. And it was great to see Alice Cooper for a 2nd time. I swear the guy isn't aging.

 Jason Worthley [show #144] First time I finally get to see Lita Ford! She still has her voice. The only down was they overextended an instrumental/collaboration with Gary Hoey on the song Back to the Cave. It was just too long and people started sitting down or they left early. Bobby Rock had a killer drum solo, so the two going back to back was just too long for people who wanted to dance around and sing to their favorite songs. Patrick Kennison, the guitarist (formerly of The Union Underground) sang the Ozzy portion of Close My Eyes Forever and he did great. He's a good singer. If the whole show had the same energy that came out of Kiss Me Deadly, it would have been a wild ride. Still glad to see them. I never heard of Gary Hoey but he's an amazing guitarist. His son too, who joined them for a song or two. Lita Ford / Gary Hoey Dec 07, 2023
 Piercedcreep My first real concert that was outside of a pride event. I went on a whim because my brothers girlfriend at the time wasn’t able to make it. I went not knowing much about any of the bands and i was also late to the venue on top of it. I ended up meeting skye the lead singer of sumo cyco, after their set in their merch section. It was a dope experience and I loved meeting her she was so kind and she took note that it was my first concert and signed a printed picture of the band we got in the merch section since that was all I was able to afford. I had a photo op with her and she was so sweet! Bandersnatch / Sumo Cyco / Jinger Dec 07, 2023
 J Phillips He played 2 shows that night. I saw the late show BB King / H-Bomb Ferguson Dec 07, 2023

 Evan Shaw Mumford This was one of the best concerts I've been to. The first set was filled with Christmas standards and then the second half was full of hymns. Beautiful voices, the live band was phenomenal, and the concert closed with everyone standing and singing Christmas carols. A must see concert! Amy Grant & Michael W. Smith Dec 07, 2023
