Don't know if this is helpful, but it lists Rusted Shut, Burnt Skull, and Pushmen playing the same night at the venue according to this.

Kind of a crappy list you have to scroll by day, but its got the three other bands listed that evening.

Sincere thanks for the research Fred but all 3 of those bands played in the indoor part of the venue on the same night. I did not see them.

The lineup was Regis/Godlfesh on the outdoor main stage. Regis is an electronic musician who, according to wikipedia is "one of the originators of the Birmingham sound, forging a sound that blended Chicago house with darker European electronics" Regis was not bad but also not interesting.

Godflesh were great though. Very glad I went because the music reminded of times and places I loved so long ago. I even got caught in a mosh for the first time in about 15 years. And I didn't get a broken nose or a twisted ankle. I was happy to see that I can still withstand that kind of thing. The audience was mostly late-20s to early-40s fans so I assume that many appointments with chiropractors and massage therapists were made today.

All around a great experience, the band seemed really into it the entire time and it was just super fun. I bought the last official US tour shirt in size L. White T with gold logo / the Everything I Build I Destroy graphic on front. Tour dates on back. I didn't know they only played 10 shows here. Extremely satisfied

Awesome.....so they didn't seem to hate each other?

Well they didn't really interact with each other, but Green did seem to be genuinely enjoying himself. I was watching him for signs of ennui but he seemed to be really in the moment, and his bass was a major driving force of every song. I think I even saw him smiling a few times.
