With a lineup that included tributes to The Doors, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd, not even the might of Mother Nature could rip fans away from their Rock and Roll Dreams on Saturday, July 26.
The evening began unassumingly enough with mere ominous cloud cover, but the weather, and the rock, escalated rapidly.
Mojo Risin’, Houses of the Holy and Satisfaction managed to fight through downpours, thunder and lightning with the kind of bravery that kept fans walking into the venue despite what most might consider unpleasant conditions.
By the time Think Floyd USA took the stage, fans were soaking but eager to continue a night of their favorite songs.
A stage covered in plastic met the heavy rains head-on and Think Floyd ended the night strong.
Fans left soaked by rain, but at least it wasn’t sweat like at a normal show, right?
Slipknot, Missouri’s neighbor’s to the north (is there another band from Iowa?) finalized a day of metal for a crowd of thousands on Tuesday, July 22.
The Mayhem Tour starred Slipknot, Disturbed, Dragonforce, and a multitude of other acts on three separate stages.
Fans were privy to several flavors of heavy music, including black metal, death metal, metalcore, nu metal, melodic metal as well as original recipe.
Though a few rain drops fell throughout the end of the show, it wasn’t enough to effect Slipknot’s mighty pyrotechnic display or the spirits of fans. After all, it had been more than two years since the ‘Knot had paid the metro a visit.
The Strange Noize Tour featuring Tech N9ne, the Kottonmouth Kings , and (hed)p.e. comes to Capitol Federal Park at Sandstone on Saturday, August 30th. Openers include X Clan, Dirtball, and Prozak.
