Its about god damned time I've seen Megadeth.
FUCKING MEGADETH!
They were so awesome! They sounded great, played a good mix of songs (including my favorites) and Dave ended the show with an encore in which he wore no shirt (humana humana). The crowd was pumped, and that's saying something for a Boston show ;). He was the most appreciative I've seen of the fans at any large national act show; he walked around applauding the audience, mouthing "thank you" over the roar of cheers, commenting that his doctor said he'd never play again but the support of his fans helped him get through, and at the end doing a little monologue 'we can do it if we stick together' kind of speech. It was like a little headbanging, disgruntled family - or something.
Its been far too long since I've seen lots of cute long-haired men in a room banging their heads. There was even a little Dave look-a-like to the right of us (I dated one of those when I was 14). As Brian commented, there was each metal kid uniform represented: the jean jackets with massive back patches and pins, the large guy with the scraggly hair and long beard, the 80's hair, a mullet or two (we could have done without those), later incarnations of buzzed hair, tats and shirts with the sleeves rippped off, and the kids just starting to grow out their hair that had black concert shirts swimming on their dorky 60 lb bodies.
I was wondering if friends of days gone by that were huge Megadeth junkies were there too - there was this guy Andy I used to hang with at Bickfords that was from Newton. He wore this leather vest all of the time and I borrowed it for a dance number once (the Bickfords crew cheered "VEST, VEST, VEST" at me from the audience). I wonder sometimes where all of my old peeps are and what they are doing . . . but I digress.
Fucking Metal Man! I am home again :)
PS Jedi - I was diagonally behind you guys through the whole show but I had a great view, so I wasn't budging. I missed Senor DW too (though Brian spotted him at one point and then lost him the next before Exodus began).
