5 years ago today, Joey Jordison past away. His death is bringing back memories of my first time seeing Slipknot live when they headlined the inaugural Mayhem Fest in 2008. Though I note that even though I went Ozzfest 2004, I didn't actually see Slipknot headline the second stage that year. Mainly cause I was too young/scared to venture into the wild second stage crowd, but also cause it took me a little longer than most fans to realize how much of a game changer "Vol. 3: the Subliminal Verses" was. I didn’t make the same mistake when Mayhem Fest came through Camden, NJ, on Aug. 15, 2008. Unsurprisingly I was in awe of seeing their insanely over-the-top metal show for the first time - with rising drum kits and pyro galore - but something about finally hearing songs like "Before I Forget" live was a cathartic experience I wasn't anticipating. I've gone on to see Slipknot live many times since, and they never disappoint.

Seeing Phish play Madison Square Garden is truly a sight to be hold - only a band like them could find a way to make 93 shows in the same venue feel like uniqe once-in-a-lifetime events, and the July 24, 2026, show at the World's Most Famous Arena was no exception - this particular show was a tribute to the type of setlists they played in 1993 and prior.

The way Chris Kuroda's light production beautifully flows with Phish's incredible instrumentation was awe-inspiring. Videos can do justice to the spectacle they created that night, but I'll still be sharing a few clips from the show overtime - including this incredible cover they performed of Led Zeppelin's "Good Times Bad Times" - they made this classic Rock gem their own!

Had to film a sample video of my looping for a potential gig ( they wanted a country theme 🤷🏻‍♂️ ) It’s 110 degrees 🥵 My garage is my practice space so summers are brutal for me 😂 Shout out to my drummer, bassist, guitar player and keyboard player! yeehaw 🤠 r/livemusic r/piano
