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:
Hell Awaits The Antichrist Necrophiliac Mandatory Suicide Captor of Sin War Ensemble Postmortem Altar of Sacrifice Jesus Saves At Dawn They Sleep Die by the Sword Spirit in Black Hallowed Point Seasons in the Abyss Strike of the Beast (Exodus cover) Dead Skin Mask Raining Blood Black Magic
Slayer isn't slayer anymore....not saying that Gary Holt isn't an absolute monster, just that after all the b.s. with Kerry King kicking out Lombardo....meh

Pretty damn good Mitch. Obviously the vocals need a lot more grit, but for bunch of kids, that's awesome. Reminds me of my band in 1990 covering Puppets, Sanitarium, Epic, etc. Love seeing kids keeping Metal alive!
