What a night! This past Friday, the place to be was at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco for the Revolver Golden Gods Tour. There was a line around the block as everyone came out in full force to catch Black Label Society perform. Also make sure to check out our coverage of the amazing two opening bands, Devil You Know and Butcher Babies. I think it was a sold out show or nearly sold out since earlier that day they had only a 100 or so tickets left. It was packed from front to back, left to right and the entire upstairs was filled with no empty seats.
Black Label Society came out and were behind a full stage curtain, and then the lights went up and the curtain came down. Our photographer Rockin Ryan was in the photo pit and got wildly tangled in the rope but he made it out just in time to catch Zakk take center stage! The crowd went WYLDE as they started with My Dying Time. There was a full on mosh pit that seemed to last the entire set. The light show they had for the set was remarkable and truly created the perfect setting for the metal take over of Black Label Society.
Check out the photos by our Rockin Ryan of the set here:
Everyone was in awe when Zakk would take his solo, you could hear the crowd roar and it was just spellbinding. When he plays his guitar and makes it look so easy, it is spine tingling and hair raising metal. Fierce as can be, that is what Black Label Society delivered to San Francisco and when they were finished, the floor was filled with the drool of the audience! They gave a night that many would never forget. This was the third time seeing them perform and each time, when I think it can’t be topped, they raise the bar even higher and exceed all my expectations. The tour came to end on Saturday night at the Fonda Theater in Los Angeles and I can only imagine what they had in store for that crowd.
We are very excited to see that Black Label Society will be returning this fall to perform at this year’s Monster Energy Aftershock Festival. We will be sure to bring you complete coverage. Make sure to pick up your tickets and join us for another bad ass show! I will leave you with a commercial that Rockin Ryan made for the Valhalla Java Coffee which is awesome.
