Eagles of Death Metal rocked my world!
by SarsBar on 2009-07-24Edmonton Event Centre - EdmontonRating: 5 out of 5This concert was FANTASTIC!! I had never been to a show at the Edmonton Event Center before, so I didn't know what to expect, but I was very pleased with this venue. It was small enough that it had a very intimate feel, but big enough that it wasn't overly-crowded.
What can I say about the band.....they were AMAZING! These guys really know how to rock! They were really interactive with the crowd, and due to the intimate nature of the venue, at times I felt like they were playing directly to me. Jesse Hughes' mike was a little low, and at time's I couldn't clearly hear all the words, which sucked a little. However, they did play all my favorite songs, and I was singing at the top of my lungs anyways.
Also, they definitely didn't skimp out when it came to the encore performance. They came back on stage and played another handfull of songs, including "Speaking in Tongues", which was my favorite song of the night.
Finally, at the very end of the show, Jesse Hughes ripped off his t-shirt...(well...tank top actually), and threw it into the crowd where three or four girls who were right in front of me proceeded to fight eachother over it.
