Oh, yeah!! Almost forgot:

I think there were quite alot of fans that were planning to get onstage last night. There was this one guy who tried to tackle Dio during one song (I don't remember which one), and this one heavy set guy who got onstage during Judas Priest's set. He just stood there taking in the view and our cheers. I was pretty impressed as to how the big guy got onstage without security knowing. Overall it was pretty wild, just the way I like my shows.   

Alright its time to give out my review of the concert!

Testament 8/10
They were too loud even for my ears at times. The set was good but the sound was too overwhelming most of the time. My roomates and a lot of other people had to hold their ears most of the time. If the sound was turned down a couple of notches it would be better. Then again we were 8 rows from the front on the left side in the direct line of 12 hanging vertical speakers.

Motorhead 9.5/10
Now they have a reason to be loud: "We are Motorhead! We play Rock 'n Roll!" They had a great set with songs like "Metropolis", "Rock Out", "Going to Brazil" and finishing off with "Ace of Spades" and "Overkill". Mikkey Dee did an awesome drum solo and the band was great overall. By this time my roomates got earplugs to help them with the really loud parts. 

Heaven and Hell 10/10
They are still doing great and were as good if not better than when they were here in Tucson last October. They played songs I wanted to hear like "Die Young", "Falling Off the Edge of the World" and "I". Everyone was great: Tony Iommi was still freaking awesome, Geezer Butler made a great impression with the effects, Vinnie Appice was great with a good drum solo and Dio was great as always running around the stage to the fans and showing great poise and talent.

Judas Priest 15/10
I now know what it is like seeing Priest live: IT IS F***ING AWESOME!!! They did the setlist a lot of people on the forums said but without "Death" :( . But it was still incredible and everyone got to hear their favorite songs or songs they just want to hear. I really liked it when they did "Rock Hard, Ride Free". Funny story happened here too: a storm was approaching during the Heaven and Hell set and was on top of us when Priest started. When Priest did "Devil's Child" the wind and rain picked up to the point where everyone under the cover was hit by rain. But when the song ended the storm passed. Halford commented after the storm "I guess that's what happens when you believe in the Devil's Child." LOL

Overall an amazing performance. LONG LIVE THE PRIEST!!!!!!
