Concert Review: Stolen Babies, Paradise Lost, The Devin Townsend Project, and Katatonia

So, on Friday, September 7, I attended my first live show in far too long: Stolen Babies, Paradise Lost, The Devin Townsend Project, and Katatonia at the Great American Music Hall.
( In which I discuss such important matters as dressing for metal shows, pre-show dining, chains as percussion instruments, short set lists, the mesmerizing qualities of Gregor Mackintosh's hair, hassling members of the audience for perceived lack of enthusiasm, and the fact that even dark metal singers will smile back if you smile at them. With pictures. )

TL;DR: The show was great, and if you're into this kind of music, you should catch this tour if you get a chance.

Music Monday: We Re-Live Our Memories on Youtube Edition

Despite the fact that the Great American Music Hall bans video recording, I knew some enterprising folks would have bits of Friday's show on Youtube. These are actually pretty decent quality for an audience recording.

Edited - okay, my first attempt to post this resulted in 4 identical copies of Devin Townsend performing "Grace" in L.A. Let's try this again.
