Megadeth I havn't been to a speed metal (or whatever its called these days) show in some time. So I grabbed Dave's latest CD and checked out Megadeth at the Reno Hilton. Besides being overly enamored by the fact that a seat in the poker room was less then 50 yards away from my seat in the theatre I really enjoyed the show. The opener (earshout?) was boring. They seemed to be preping for some 80s big arena show after having skipped being even close to interesting but Dave and current hirees were great. Compared to shows I remember from the mid 90s the energy of the show was high but not quite as edgy. Thats possible because this was the first stop on their tour. Several times during the show all the members of the band disappeared off stage for what seemed like a quick conferece. But all in all very enjoyable. I was suprised that Dave didn't get on his horse about election issues eventhough he came close several times.

Security at venues like this never seem to get it. They attempted to apply very silly techniques for controlling the crowd. Don't they ever do research? ( Oct 26 2004, 12:17:50 PM PDT ) Permalink Comments [2]
