kinsey's blog: Volbeat, HIM, & All That Remains Rock Allegiance Tour Tabernacle Atlanta, GA 9/22/13

Free ticket to see Volbeat, HIM, and All That Remains? Yes, yes, and more yes. I have waited many years to see Volbeat and I finally had the opportunity to. Gosh, I cannot tell you how excited I was. I waited almost 3 and a half years to see this band and I was beyond stoked. I was also pretty excited to see All That Remains because they were on my list of bands to see before I die. I saw HIM six years ago in 2007 with Linkin Park on their Projekt Revolution Tour and they were great, of course. These bands were part of The Rock Allegiance Tour. Airbourne was apparently supposed to be on the tour, but they had to go back home to Australia, which was a bit of a let down because I really wanted to see them too. But, not all was lost. All That Remains seemed to play a little bit longer which made me happy. All That Remains was the first band. They played

The Last Time

Stand Up

Hold On

Some of The People, All of The Time

Forever In Your Hands (So perfect live)

Drown Through The Ages

Asking Too Much

Six

This Calling

Two Weeks (Insane crowd participation. The mosh pit rocked!)

I was mainly excited for HIM. Out of all the bands that played, I knew the most of their songs and it had been way too long since I had last seen them. They played

All Lips Go Blue

Buried Alive By Love (My favorite)

Rip Out The Wings of A Butterfly

Soul On Fire

Into The Night

The Funeral of Hearts

I noticed that Ville did not smoke as much he did the last time I saw them. But, he did walk off stage a few times to smoke. I could not help but chuckle. That is typical Ville. The crowd was on point during their set. There were die hard fan everywhere that were singing the words to every song. It was beautiful.

It was finally time for Volbeat. When they were setting up the stage, I was really dumbfounded. The drummer's kit, was astounding... and loud. Their stage setup was very Texas-y. All of the backdrops and speakers had a Texas ranch theme. It was odd. Volbeat played almost two hours and their set included:

Hallelujah Goat (Best opener ever!)

Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood

Radio Girl

The Nameless One

Sad Man's Tongue

Lola Montez

Heaven Nor Hell

16 Dollars

Dead But Rising

Fallen

The Mirror and The Ripper

My Body (Young The Giant cover)
