here's my review of sevendust's show last night
1. diecast - i walked in during their last song. the sound was tight and the mix was really good. good band with lots of energy.
2. red - i checked a couple of their songs before-hand so i was looking forward to them. first, they took too long to set up. it looked like one of the guitars was having a technical difficulty. they ended up playing only three songs! when they came out, they started jumping around so much that their playing sounded sloppy! the singer's voice had no presence. either his vocals was too low or it just wasn't cutting through. the sound was not good either. and they all had rectifiers. bad mix. i was very disappointed in their performance.
3. sevendust - well, this was my third time seeing them. although i'm not a fan of the new album, they did a good share of their old stuff. the sound was amazing!!! their new guitarist (the dude from snot) is very good. i wished they would have done some of their mellow-ballad type stuff just to break up the set a little bit, but that's okay.
overall it was a good night. the nokkia theatre is really nice, and they have stadium-like seatings in the back. at my age, standing for that long is not good for my knees (lol). but i had a blast last night. i forgot how much fun going to concerts was.
