Holy shit what an awesome show. And Bill was there.

The wife and I were front center. Gojira seemed to be in very high spirits and it resulted in a very energetic show on both sides of the fence. The crowd was in a non-stop mosh and there being no security between band and crowd gave way to some good ol' stage diving. Some guy jumped on stage with a big Gojira Flag and started some I'm not worthy stlye bowing. The vocals were strong and recognizable and the sound was full and thundering. Christian and Jean Michel don't get enough credit as they were all over the place and gave it their all.
Joe talked a lot to the crowd and the crowd ate every word.

Since my wife had the best angle she did all the filming and Joe noticed and gave us something to film. He really is a great frontman. At the end of the show Joe was giving hand shakes and high fives and then stepped down to give my wife a big hug and a thank you(caught on camera ) The band made sure we got one of the setlist and a pick which was cool.

Oroborus
Heaviest Matter
Backbone
Lizard Skin
Ocean Planet
Art of Dying
Drum Solo
Rememberance
Flying Whales
Dragons Dwell
Toxic Garbage
Vacuity

Zoroaster and Burst both impressed me. The wife only liked Burst.

Zoroaster's vocal mix was barely audible but the music killed.

Burst put on an excellent show as well and seemed very happy to be there. I met with some of leading band members and I asked about them breaking up and they replied with a questionable "uh, sort of" so who knows how they will pan out.

Sounds as mental as any Gojira show. And they played Lizard Skin - I'd break my neck if I saw that one live. I'm glad you had a great time, dude.

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing!

It was an awesome show. Definitely up there with the best I've been to.

And I guess I was next to a fellow Mastodon board member without realizing!

I was on your wife's right. And I'm sorry if I ever blocked her shots!

EDIT: That's my dumb head on the right.

If I'd known another one of us was there we would have surely hung out.
I know I'm gonna try and be at the baroness show in Dec.

I'm going to see them October 6th in Knoxville, one of the best bands ever IMO.. really nice people to boot.. I can't wait!

Nice!
