It Was Raining Blood!

The first thing I noticed was how long it took to set up the stage. They set an entirely new floor down between Slipknot and Slayer. The cameras were not too obtrusive besides the boom off stage left filming the crowd and long band shots. There will be some UNBELIEVABLE shots of Dave Lombardo as for a couple of songs a camera man stood on the riser filming from the front as another guy fimed him from the rear. Possibly for a multi camera angle feature ala Slipknots Disasterpieces DVD. The band actually stopped and the lights went down after each song I don't know if that was for editing purposes of what. Tom kept the intros short and sweet and made no references to the filming that I can remember, thanking the crowd many times as always. The band was in rare form and bashed through the set list in machine like fashion. Double bass was loud and clear as the band had the best mix I think I have heard from them in the 7 times over the past 15 years I have seen them. There were several mistakes, Jeff lost his guitar sound completely for the balance of the intro to DEAD SKIN MASK, Dave appeared to drop a stick during the intro part of MANDATORY SUICIDE and Tom missed a vocal cue during the middle of ALTAR OF SACRIFICE. All other songs were close to flawless. The band took a short encore pause from ANGEL to PIECE same as they did on the Jager tour. Blood rained from the lighting rig upon the beginning of RAINING BLOOD soaking Tom and bloodying Kerry (Jeff avoided the bulk of the blood). The only adverse result of the blood was it killed the sound of Daves cymbals for the end of the song when once again it poured blood soaking everything including the drums. The effect was quite striking and the crowd was blown away. A blood soaked Tom addressed the cheering crowd with a sneering smile and the words "We'll see you in HELL". Comments fom people leaving the venue were positive and I think the show was recieved extremely well. The blood effect was amazing and worth every penny alone. Incidentally for the Hatebreed fans out there they also filmed their entire set with the same cameras so keep your eyes open for where that footage will surface. That's all I have so lets pray this DVD gets off on time!!!! SSSLLLAAAYYYEEERRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
