I had a great time seeing Slayer with an old college buddy at the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell on Saturday night. This was the last stop on Slayer's current tour, and who knows if it will be their last tour?
Cool to see young and old in the pit, which was pretty good. There were no fights. One dude in a wheelchair was crowd surfing, which was cool to see. Even the singer took notice. I helped hoist the guy up once.
You're only as old as you feel. I spent the night in the pit. Good cardio. Here's a vid I took. It was the second to last song, so everyone was pretty wiped by then, but still going!
Damn good set list of old school classics:
