Sorry, was on a roll.
I'll admit that I could also make do without LAM, as well, and just end the set with Painkiller or YGOTC, make is a true "last chance with the 'Priest" (although that'd be kinda sad). Heck, even with LAM, the setlist was a rockin' one. No part-acoustic, part-electric Diamonds and Rust or Angel. Nothing from Nostradamus, either.

Yeah, I'll admit that I'm a bit biased toward Metal Gods. Just love it. It's a glorious piece when played live, IMO, and it's current place as the 2nd song on the setlist is perfect because, as of late, the first song that JP hits us is with is usually a fast-paced one (Hellion/Electric Eye, Rapid Fire, Dragonaut). You get super excited and immediately start headbanging and having a good time; and when the fire/smoke clears (aka the song ends), you get the introduction. Who was it that hit you with a full-on in-your-face Heavy Metal song? Why, the Metal Gods in all their glory!
Also: have you noticed the name of the stage on which the band plays in that vid? You see it a few times over the course of the set, but JP were playing on the "True Metal" stage! Can't get better than that! 
And the Wacken crowd? Loved it!!! Now THOSE are some great fans! The kid weeping near the end of YGOTC, the fans bowing down to Rob near the end of Painkiller? Many of them singing along? Shit, that's amazing!!! Yeah, they were slow at first to get into it, but I'd rather have them than the gum-chewer that appears in Rising in the East.

Nice review, Acolyte!!! 
On the setlist front, however, I'd say that Metal Gods should remain on the setlist, maybe switch between that and BTL halfway through a tour.

Damn!!! You're right. It was for the Metal Masters tour.
Never used mine because I bought a ticket for a seat, like, 20 rows away from the stage but it was still the best seat in the house.

Almost drove to Penn to see that one even for lawn seats having already seen it three times! LOL!!!

Agree. I had no reason to think that there was any sort of combo. Yeah, I could have bought the Blu-ray, ripped the audio and segmented up the songs and burned them to CD (phew) but just easier to buy the CD and make the usual copies for my car and daily play + Blu-ray that I'll likely convert to DVD to keep the file small and be able to play on my other machines / backup on HD.
BTW, HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!!!

DVD is worth the buy, though. Amazing from start to finish. Excellent and absolutely surreal performance by the metal gods and a great and exciting crowd to go with it.
As for the CD? Well, let's just say that it will be staying in my car CD player for a loooooooooooong time, methinks.
In a nutshell: BUY IT!!!

Saw Slayer for the first time Monday. New venue to me, I quite liked the setup. Beer garden in the back, a rail, and then an open area in the front, where anyone underage or not drinking could go.
Opener was Carcass. not familar with them, did a good set
Testament was next, great set, played some older stuff, very nice to see them
Slayer was good, glad I saw them
Highlite was testament. That and the roughly 1 million posters with prohibited acts and items that listed moshing and crowd surfing as grounds for ejection. Then all 3 bands encouraged the mosh pits..... |

As for the computer fix? Java was the culprit on mine. Same problem as described below. Ran a scan, found some malware, deleted and reinstalled Java. Did the trick. HAD to be something cross-platform as it was happening on some of my Macs and some of my PCs (others, I hadn't used all that much so they never updated). BTW, I always manually update anyway as I've seen that issue before.
