On October 17th, I was lucky enough to be in Las Vegas to see one of my favorite bands of all time, the mighty Judas Priest at the Palms. They are always awesome, and rocked the crowd at the Pearl Theatre. Rob sounds really good, and the band is on fire!

Another great band on the show, was Mastodon! I've seen them a couple times now, but this was by far the best show I've seen them do. They got to play longer than the last time I saw them (and Rock on the Range 2014), and the set was great! With new stuff, old stuff, everything flowed together really well, and the guys kicked ass!

There were some parts where different vocals weren't as audible as I hoped, but other than that, all the songs sounded great! I missed recording some of the new songs, like "High Road" and "Motherload", but I did get "Aqua Dementia" and "Tread Lightly". Crank them up and enjoy!

Next time they are playing and you have a chance to check them out...take it! They're a great band!
