Lamb Of God Concert in Jakarta 09/03/09(review)
I juz got bck from Jakarta & Bali. Went to Jakarta, Senayan Outdoor Tennis to watch Lamb of God Concert & this is my review.
Show started quite on time with the local Indonesian band Death Squad performing first. Frankly, I was really blown away by their tightness & sound as a whole band. Reminds me a lot of Ossuary & Manifest during their heydays but this band is more technical. Overall good performance by the band.
Next up....Lamb Of God. With their opening song Laid to Rest. WoW!! What a performance. But the problem is that it was drizzling. The crowd was energetic & there were 2 areas namely Tribune & Festival. I was at the Festival area but wished I was @ the Tribune area as it is cheaper & u can see the show clearer too. But it was at the Festival area that the real moshing was happening.
There was a technical glitch with Mark Morton's Guitar & there was also a glitch throughout the whole song. Guess the rain affected the technical stuffs but then LOG did an awesome show. They still continued performing & ignored the problems. Randy Blythe currently spots long hair & Chris Adler thumps the drums with so much energy. They did the whole set which lasted for more than 1hr 30mins.
As for the crowd, it was energetic & let me remind u guys that the mosh pit is bigga than what I have seen in Singapore. No offence to Singaporeans(btw I'm a Singaporean fyi), even the pit which I saw in the Slipknot & Slayer concert was nothing compared to this. It was HUGE! LOG did a few songs from their latest albums like Dead Seeds, Set To Fail just to name a few.
This concert is one of the best I've seen in my entire 30yrs of my life. It ranks among the best gig I've attended along with Slipknot & Slayer. How I wished that LAMC had brought LOG into Singapore... & I hope that LAMC or MIDAS is hearing me......
Cheers & Beers...
