Notes:

the support band were actually bloody good!! Very entertaining and catchy wall-of-sound type music.
But we knew we were in for something special as the lights dimmed and the Oils chant started. I was on a video chat with Chris Hall in Ontario Canada at the time, and we were both losing our shit as were watched Run By Night....
they burst onto the stage, opening with RUN BY NIGHT, and followed by KNIFE'S EDGE, I mean come on , what a killer opening couple of tracks.
