Support Bands:  Restless Spirit, Earthlore

Wednesday night was one for the ages.  I've been lucky to have the ability to see a lot of shows.  This fall I will hit my 40th year of attending shows.  I will always find something to like about the live events I do attend, but now and again and event really stands out.

This was one of them.

An all timer.

Sweden band Truckfighters kicked off their US Tour, albeit a short tour Wednesday to a ravenous crowd.  Ozo (Oskar Cedermalm)  is the bassist in the band, one of the founding  members and guitarist Dango (Niklas Källgren) the other.  They have swapped out drummers but the ferocity of their live shows does not begin to tell the story.

Having been around since 2001 and releasing five studio albums the band has rolled members, taken a hiatus and even at the start of this tour noted it was the  last batch of shows on their current visa.  Touring in the US is getting harder and harder.

The show began with a full recorded version of "Alterd State" before Dango arrived on stage, getting everyone riled up before tossing his shirt in to the audience.

We were underway.

Three songs came from the debut, but it ran through their discography.  

This show was everything you'd want.  A ravenous (and respectful) fan base.  Dango hardly standing still...he gives any/all guitar players a run for their money with enthusiasm.  He was in the crowd even.  It was such an electric show, you could not stop watching them.  Here are a few shots I took:
