What was the last music concert you attended?

[Aemma]

Well funny you should ask...

This past weekend we made a trip to Montreal to take in what I can only call a Pagan-Viking Metalfest which included the following acts:

Les Batards du Nord: a Quebecois Viking Metal Band (yes, no kidding! Complete wih garb and everything. Actually they weren't bad at all. I bought a shirt and a CD of theirs. Oh btw, I see that this very youtube vid was taken at the very concert we attended! Very cool!)

White Wizzard: a heavy metal band from Los Angeles. (I briefly spoke with the lead singer and when finding out he came from L.A. I smiled and said: "You must find it cold here LOL" He smiled politely and most likely thought "you're not kidding lady, now buy some of my shit so I can get out of here!" Hey here they are too from Saturday's performance at Club Soda in Montreal! up)

Swashbuckle: Now I don't know where these people come from but Man, can they make a crowd get into it! My favourite song had to be "Walk the Plank". I didn't think that there was such a thing as Pirate Metal but hey, proven wrong once again. Here is their performance of "Drink Up". But like I said, "Walk the Plank" was a favourite. Might be a good theme song for an admin.... oh I dunno.

Tyr: The group that we really went down to see. Bought their "Land" CD/DVD set. They were good but lacked a certain something. BEB mentioned to me that they are usually better when they themselves are the headliners. Perhaps this is what the problem was. That or I was expecting too much given my anticipation at seeing them live. Here they are at Club Soda this past Saturday.

This is really the song I was hoping to hear though which unfortunately they did not play (one of my favourite songs of theirs):

And last but not least Korpiklaani: What can I say? I had never really listened to their music before but they are a ton of fun live! Methinks they did a good enough of a good selling job to make me buy a CD of theirs eventually. Here they are at Club Soda this past Saturday (Oh ya and in this last vid, that security guard that you see every so often onstage was kept quite busy throwing people into the pit. Hysterical! Number One son loved watching it all and drunk in the whole experience):

Awesome stuff Aemma, I saw Tyr and Korpiklaani last year too..

Unfortunately due to the lack of time last good show I got to see was in summer, drove down to Belgrade to see Swedish band Amon Amarth, this time, they were sober enough to play, video from that one:

Then I saw also Swedish heavy metal band Sabaton on some crappy festival two days after in my home town, was pretty good one, Korn was also playing the same evening but I was too busy drinking beer to see that one

Now sad but true, I haven't seen a REALLY good show since Grave Digger's show with Therion and double headline tour of Helloween and Gamma Ray and that was some time ago now
