… I saw Iron Maiden for the first time. Thirty years and six more shows later, and I’m ready to see them again.

Voivod @ Oakland Metro (2/20/15)

Napalm Death and Voivod poster in Oakland Metro

Voivod’s new bassist – Rocky

With so many bands (six!) on the bill the set was a snappy 60 minutes. I would love to see Voivod again (in a less-crowded venue) perform for longer. Here is what they played:
Kluskap O’Kom
Tribal Convictions
Order of the Blackguards
Nothingface
Corps Étranger
Chaosmöngers
We Are Connected
Voivod
Astronomy Domine
