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.

Just before Neurosis hit the stage at the Roseland Theater in Portland, Oregon

I woke up happy this morning. Actually, I probably wasn’t happy when I woke up, but I became happy soon thereafter when I saw that Neurosis has been added to the bill for the 2017 Roskilde Festival. Also added was Red Fang. I’m a big Red Fang fan; yet I’ve never seen them live. Even though they are from Oregon, Red Fang never plays in Southern Oregon so my first time seeing them will be in Denmark next year. Can’t wait.

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.
