Shadows Fall

Holy Dreadlocks Batman! Seriously if Doc Ock had a real world inspiration it'd be the lead singer of this band. I've seen few people with hair this long much less with dreads this long. I wished they had lighting that would have illuminated the full range of his hair flying about. But the lighting (at least they had some lighting) was as fast and dynamic as the music and band. Great to watch but a crapshoot when trying to catch a good break taking pictures. Musically again Shadows Fall is not my style but the 600 or 700 (my estimate) fans seemed to really like it.
I'll say this though, the lead singer did a manuever I've not seen done before really. I was standing right below him taking pics when he launched himself off the stage into the crowd.. Doing a complete flip in mid air before coming down. I wished I'd have been in a position and with lighting enough to have caught that. I gave him a 8.7 for style, grace and balls.

So if you are into this type of music they put on a show worth the ticket price.
