U.D.O. + Primal Fear

November 21, 2007

Way earlier I wrote about my problem of choosing which gigs to go and see this autumn. Well, the first one I chose to go and see was U.D.O. (+ Primal Fear as supporting act). I missed Eppu Normaali because of calendar issues and Nightwish I will miss because I wasn't fast enough to get tickets.

So the U.D.O. + Primal Fear gig was yesterday. It really wasn't a big success if you consider the size of the audience. There was probably only around 200 people if even that. But neither of the bands let that get to them and they played good gigs. I can't compare this to their other gigs as this was the first time I saw these bands play live. But if especially U.D.O. can rock even harder...no, that's not possible. They did kick ass last night. One of the high points was when Igor came down from the stage during his guitar solo to play among the audience. I'm sure that wouldn't have happened if the place was too packed. Old Accept songs Balls to the Wall and Metal Heart were guaranteed crowd pleasers. Man and the Machine and Thunderball rocked real hard as well.

Now I have to buy the Best of U.D.O. coming out on Nov 30. Check the videos from the gig below. I also have some pics in my Flickr feed.
