I haven't updated yet, but I did go to the Spokane washington Metallica concert beginning of December. It was awesomenerasfrig.  the things they had going on in the video "boxes" over the stage was some great work... I actually spent a great amount of time watching them. there was some pretty neat computer controlled mini drones during "moth into flame", and some great lighting/pyro work.

I was a little meh about the comedy pre-show with Jim Breuer instead of a musical opener,... but it turned out to be pretty good and he was fairly interactive with the crowd.

afterwards, James, Lars, Rob, and Kirk actually came to the Centennial Hotel (where we were staying)  to do some promotional thing giving away a pile of money to the foodbank. there was camera crews and security and a shitpile of people hovering around, so we just watched from the top floor foyer.

So pumped! They've been killing it during this tour and making more of an effort to play well than on some of their previous tours over the last 20 years. It's a small venue, so even our nosebleed seats still appear to be decent.

Driving 3 1/2 hours there, then back afterward. The weather is supposed to get ---smurfy--- and drop 30-40° while we're there. That's the only part I'm not looking forward to.

the spokane arena setup was pretty small too. we were in the front row of the upper deck about 45 degrees off axis and had a great view of the entire stage which they plopped right in the middle of the rink. our seats where off the left of this pic after the orange railing.

We're going to be upper deck in the corner...last row. :lol The view at least appears to still be good.

When the tickets went on sale, we had really good seats picked, but the damn website crashed while checking out. By the time we got back in, they were gone (needed four seats together). Had to pay more for worse seats on stubhub.

we needed 4 tickets too. I found out if we joined the "fifth member" metallica fanclub they had presale code tickets so you could buy before they went public sale. got the presale code for the event and bought tickets with zero issue.

I tried to get tickets for when they came to edmonton 2 years ago. sold out in seconds. wasn't about to pop for 6000 worth of tickets on scamhub either. that's when i found out about fifth member club.
