One of the funnest performances I had the pleasure of witnessing in 2016 was Iron Angel from Germany. I wasn’t that familiar with them before the show but have enjoyed their music since. It always brings a smile to my face after having seen them live. As far as I know, they’ve never played in the USA.

Today’s photo was taken at 2:30 a.m. The sun was coming up before I left the venue. Hopefully they don’t give Neurosis or Red Fang a post-midnight start in 2017.

Paul McCartney @ 2016 Desert Trip playing “Band on the Run”

When I was about 11 years old I bought my first stereo with money saved from my paper route. Problem was, I didn’t have enough money left over to purchase records. However, you could check out “old” records at the library. So I headed down to the Manor Branch Library and checked out Wings’ “Band on the Run” for a couple weeks.

I didn’t imagine that I would be able to see an old band like Wings 35+ years later.

Abbath as Lemmy

Motorhead tribute band Bombers (Bergen) closed out the 2016 edition of Copenhell. They came on after Black Sabbath, starting at about 1 a.m. With Lemmy being gone for less than six months when this show happened, much of the Copenhell crowd remained for the set.

Abbath did a fine Lemmy but didn’t forget to toss in some Abbath moves as well.

Roger Waters’ flying pig @ Desert Trip

Roger Waters had a lot of anti-Trump propaganda during his set at Desert Trip. At the time (October 2016) I thought we’d never have to see it again, but I’m guessing he will now be able to use it on his upcoming tour as well. That’s too bad.
