Coheed & Cambria
El Teatro Metro
Bogota, Colombia
Sept 20 2011
Yes, I went to Colombia. Ran into the crew in my hotel. Set was a decent mix of old and new songs. Live-tweeted the show.

Coheed #56 & #57
#56 Tue 4/19 Coheed at the Rams Head in Baltimore
#57 Wed 4/20 Coheed at the 9:30 Club
[Philly would have been #58 but I had a sinus infection and missed it]
Was up front for the acoustic set in Bmore and sat at the bar for the rest. Similar to Neverender Night One, but with an intro acoustic set (and bonus songs for pass-holders by Travis, Angry Dave (!), guitar tech, and Claudio (on drums!)) and a second electric set after ripping through SSTB in its entirety.
Since my longstanding wish for Coheed to become the Grateful Dead has been answered, live recordings of each night are available either at the merch booth (on a flash drive) or as a download the next day. I downloaded the DC set which was (I thought) significantly better than the Charm City show. Ms dW accompanied me to dinner at Ben's Next Door and to the DC show.

Cradle of Filth
Bourbon Street
Baltimore
Three months into the year, I finally got around to seeing something. Drove up with Metal Chris of DCHeavyMetal.com as he was having car issues. We missed all the openers. I would have liked to have seen Turisas, but I think they were either first or second of four and with the traffic and rain there was no way to get there in time.
Cradle of Filth played a pretty long set of old and new stuff with a background slideshow that reminded me of this.

Other stuff I saw in 2010 and various excuses about things I missed because later I'll wonder why I didn't go
#17 GWAR at Sonar 10/2/10 - my second 33rd birthday party; we went after the pirate cruise
#18 Dredg/Codeseven/Animals as Leaders in Chicago 11/19/10 - I didn't stay for headliners Circa Survive because I went to see Checkov's Seagull at the Goodman Theatre (which was excellent BTW)
#19 Arsis w/Powerglove at Jaxx 12/18 - awesome
#20 Blind Guardian w/Holy Grail at Jaxx 12/22
And I didn't see the following:
Vader - was sick both times they played close-by
SPSD - at least two of those shows got canceled or I was out of town, one of those
Bloody Panda - I just plain forgot about it and did something else that evening
36 Crazyfists - that show got canceled
Nuclear Assault w/Arsis & Acrassicauda at Sonar - neither Arsis nor Acrassicauda ended up going on this tour and that was all I cared about
Suicidal Tendencies show started too early
Cannibal Corpse I missed because I was on a plane

Explosions in the Sky
2640 Space
Baltimore
2640 Space is an old church a few blocks from The Ottobar and staffed by the same folks. We drove past and there were a lot of people sitting outside so we weren't sure they started yet. But as soon as we went inside we found out that they had started and why so many people were outside. It was over 100 degrees in the venue - I was dripping with sweat within half a song. Explosions is the kind of band I would prefer to see in a dark, cool, seated venue. So we watched about 5 songs or so and then headed to Max's for beer, which was probably the smart choice.

Volbeat 8/15/10

Sunday, August 15, 2010
Volbeat
The Sleeping
Dommin
Recher Theatre
Dommin had their drummer off to the side so they could have a giant banner in the middle of the stage. They played a Nirvana cover.
I really liked The Sleeping although they got a somewhat lukewarm reaction. I feel like these European bands frequently do this - they invite a band on their tour that they really like but then their fans are just confused. At least they got treated better than HORSE did with Dragonforce.
Volbeat was down a man due to visa issues, but still played a nice long set. I couldn't tell if people recognized the other metal riffs they kept throwing in, although the guy in the Slayer shirt definitely did. Fun show, I just wish it wasn't all the way in Towson.

Cynic
Intronaut
Dysrhythmia
Rock & Roll Hotel
Dysrhythmia was good, instrumental technical stuff.
I really liked Intronaut. I think they were the opener on some other tour that I had missed before.
Cynic played their entire Focus album and had crazy lights and fog and projections and stuff.
I don't really have too much to say about it, so read this review instead:

Asia 08.03.10
Tuesday, August 3, 2010
Original Asia
Birchmere
Finally saw a show at the Birchmere. Pretty nice venue, although the food & drink are damn expensive.
Asia was awesome - playing for almost 2 hours. Crazy drum solo with dual gongs. Of course the big closer was Heat of the Moment.
