with Coheed and Cambria, and Trivium

February 6, 2009
Tsongas Arena
Lowell, MA

Slipknot fans are anything but apathetic.  Tickets for the Lowell, Massachusetts stop on the All Hope Is Gone world tour sold out, so the band and venue opened up more seats on the side of the stage.  The kids sitting behind me during the show waited in line for four and a half hours in the freezing cold to make sure they had prime spots on the floor for this general admission event.  The crowd was crazy… it was awesome.

Trivium started the night off with a lively set.  Many of the concert-goers on the floor were crowd surfing and moshing so hard during their performance that they resigned themselves to the stadium seats for the rest of the show.

When I first heard that Coheed and Cambria would be touring with Slipknot, my first reaction was “that’s an odd mix.”  My preconceptions were quickly erased as soon as they took the stage.  I’ve been following this band for a few years now and have seen various live and DVD performances.  Their performance tonight was one of their best.  They came right out of the chute and blew everyone away.

Coheed and Cambria really seized this opportunity to show not only how talented they are, but just how powerful their music can be.  They put together a super-strong set, and reaction of the crowd was overwhelming.  Unfortunately those sitting on the side of the stage were forced to watch the show through three lighting towers, each nearly fifteen feet high.

“Slipknot, Slipknot, Slipknot…” the crowd chanted while the road crew scurried around onstage to get things ready for the night’s main event.  Slipknot filed onto the stage and each member greeted the crowd during the lengthy intro.  Then the chaos began and bodies started to fly.

Slipknot’s stadium performance is a bit different than when I saw them in an amphitheater during the Mayhem festival.  This time, there were thousands of fans crammed on the floor of the area, all literally consumed by the music.  Mosh pits, crowd surfers, head banging… the crowd was so lively that the air became thick with sweat and breath.  It was so dense and hot that I could barely see the other side of the arena.

All the energy the band was feeding to the crowd was coming right back to them ten-fold.  While amphitheater shows are cool, this band was made for the type of energy that an arena crowd brings.  Slipknot’s performance was as lively and loud as ever.  They kicked ass.  With nine guys moving around onstage, there’s always something different to see during each show.  There just no way to see every detail as it it’s happening.

It’s no surprise to see why this show sold-out, and it’s clear why Slipknot has become one of the best, and biggest rock bands in the world.  I can’t wait to see them again the next time they roll through the area… I just don’t want to clean-up the carnage they leave in their wake.
