GODSMACK – The Legend Is On The Rise (Concert Review)
I’m not sure if this was considered a co-headlining tour or not but I can confirm Volbeat wasn’t relegated to standard opening act staging or set time. Playing almost 60 minutes on their own stage setup. The twelve song set leaned heavily (4 songs) on their latest record Seal The Deal & Let’s Boogie. Maybe a little too heavy as aside from “Black Rose” the songs started to have a sameness to them. To do that at the expense of standout tracks like “Heaven Nor Hell” and “My Body” seemed a shame. They did announce to the sellout crowd that they have a new album arriving in the coming months.
In 2007 Godsmack went on a little break and it seemed to help. While they may have passed up the last couple years of prime record sales that existed, the three records they released since the break are, in ascending order, their three best records since their debut. Something tells me Sully and the band agree as their 14 song set featured 10 songs combined from those 4 records.
Somewhere towards the middle of the show, lead singer Sully Erna encouraged the strong Minnesota boys to get them girls on their shoulders. And though not directly requested, said girls showing some boobies was not something that was to be discouraged. While sharing no resemblance with a woman’s march, I’ll be damned if a Godsmack show isn’t a killer rock n roll good time. Filled with all the fire and booms your heart could desire. The way a rock show is meant to be. It was a good night. And judging the crowd, I’d say Monday, April 22nd, 2019, was also a good night for Minneapolis baby sitters.
