We drove all the from St. Louis, MO to see this concert, but it was well worth the 4 hour drive. The main reasons we went were for Coal Chamber and VOD, but downset and Machine Head most definitly kicked ass. Coal Chamber opened up the show, which sorta surprised me, I figured VOD would. Anyhow, they opened up with Sway and went through the usual type Coal Chamber set. Coal Chamber's set kicked ass as usual but it was nothing out of the ordinary. We took some pics, if you would like to see them go to the pictures page. After Coal Chamber, VOD came out. Mike let us tape the fuckin show on stage! It was pretty bad ass. They played "Choke" which was a surprise and I got their setlist. After VOD was downset. Out of all the times I have seen downset, this was most definitly the best I have ever seen them. They were my favorite of the night. VOD would've been, but I got stuck taping the show. And then Machine Head came out and kicked all ass. I have been to many concerts, but Machine Head was the loudest thing I have ever heard. All around, this was one of the funnest days I have had.
