Surrey Tool

My second show on this tour. First was Rotterdam and this show was far better. The sound was loud, crisp and clear whereas Mastodon sounded like they were playing through a blown subwoofer. The addition of Wings/10K Days was great and the crowd was much more into the show. The no smoking policy allowed Maynard to go mask free which improved the vocals significantly and the overall sound was better than in Rotterdam. The security was over the top and obtrusive. They should do their job without distracting from the show. Most are cop wannabes and get off on the power trip....too bad, as that was the only negative I can cite from this show. The highlight was the sea of fans that erupted for Aenima. On to London tomorrow for the finale of my Winter tour trifecta. Would love to hear Parabola but will be happy if I get any variation from the two shows seen thus far.
