Exodus @ Gagarin 205

\r\n\r\n

\r\nWhen Sabbat ended their setlist, Gagarin’s main space was almost full and the upper floor had 30-40 people. For one second, the crowd silenced when Entombed suddenly entered the stage and then the whole place was like a bomb ready to explode! Seconds later, the band started to play and the fans started a big mosh pit and the party was about to begin.The band started playing new and old songs and performing so perfect that you can realize that they are definately a live band.If you have never seen Entombed live you would never understand. The band was totally into it , with mr Petrov screaming his soul,drinking and sharing Vodka with the fans,running all around the stage and headbanging like crazy. \r\n

\r\nAfter some beers , a lot of water and some walks around Gagarin, everything was ready. Upstairs were about 50-60 people and the under level was now full. A drunk guy was passed away in the stairs, a father was yelling to his daughter to leave the place, a metalhead was receiving some medical treatment after a little head accident. That was the time that Exodus hit the stage and everybody got crazy.Mr.Rob Dukes started to scream and Exodus were about to begin a great show.The fans got psyched from the very first song and started many mosh pit circles.Stagedivers and crowdsurfers jumping all over people’s head and the security started their work.Exodus were performing new and oldschool songs with perfect efficiency and a good sound. \r\n

They started to have fun with the fans, started covering Metallica songs and playing other bands songs , mr Rob Dukes started to record with his video-camera and the people started to respond with stagedives, moshing and throwing beers all over. Everyone was happy and you could even see mr Barker smiling while he was playing his killer beats. \r\n

\r\nThe band was having a great time and you can realize this also by looking the setlists of other concerts they made in other countries that was almost the half. After many songs and mr.Rob Dukes prooving that he is a great vocalist and he can really carry on the Exodus history, the show finished with the fans sweating and asking for more. \r\n

\r\nAlthough it was Sunday night and the show lasted till 2.00 very few left before the show was over. The people showed great respond to this specific live and also a lot of merchandise was purchased by the fanatic ones.A great show for all the trashsers and a big proove that thrash concerts are still alive after all these years. \r\n
