I had never even heard of Unsea before this show and they were amazing. I'd describe them as somewhere between Earth and Electric Wizard but with black metal vocals. Very, very good. I was duly impressed.

Then Ufomammut, on their first North American tour incidentally, took the stage and blew my fucking mind right out the back of my head. I can't even begin to describe how awesome they were, they managed to sound totally different than they do on their albums yet absolutely fantastic nonetheless. They were so unbelievably tight and so incredibly heavy my brain struggled to even process the awesomeness that was taking place before me. Really, it was incredible, one of the best shows I've been to in the past decade. 3/4 of the members of Unsea even came up where we were standing and starting going nuts during Ufomammut's set, their bass player going off telling me how amazing he thought Ufomammut were. It's rare that I say this, but I really didn't want the set to end, I could have listened to Ufomammut for many, many more hours. In the end, all I could do was go shake Urlo's hand and say, "Amazing! Amazing!"

Ufomammut made me feel ill, in the best way possible.

Well **** I didn't even know they're on tour. I'm gonna try to catch them in Glendale then. My concert buddy says he can't afford it but it sounds like it'll be worth going solo.

Lana Del Rey
Courtney Love

i just want to say that going from a sold out show at the Warfield....with a 2250 capacity...to a sold out show at Shoreline...22500....was a real eye opener

We showed up a little late due to the insane traffic around the venue....actually we ended up parking 2 miles away and just walking in...

When we arrive Love was about a quarter into her set....having never really been a fan of Hole i was more interested in seeing what train-wreck Love would be

i have to say she does not sound any different than she did on the recordings....and the crowd really received her well

Lana Del Rey fans smoke tons of pot

I have got to say that this woman has such an amazing voice.....i was really curious to hear the difference between the produced albums versus her voice live....and seriously there was very little difference

she came out to a roar of a standing audience and left to the same....a wonderful set going back and forth between Born to Die songs and Ultraviolence songs......she did an amazingly well done cover of Nico's Chelsea Girls before going into Brooklyn Baby (very clever Lana

) and she ended with a new song from the new album coming out in November

overall it was quite a sight....just wish i could have afforded to sit closer

that honestly would have been amazing

bob. · 05-31-2015, 12:05 PM

i'm seeing them Thursday.....and can't wait to feel ill

I'll be thinking of both of you and shall raise my glass in cheers!
