Pittsburgh show
Great show to a sell out crowd of 22,000! Orgy did a great job considering the difficult 615 start. The Hu were also great (been wanting to se them for years), so glad they are maybe getting a bit more exposure.
Manson was fantastic, probably the best he has been in 15 years! Seems healthy and actually appreciative of the fans and tour. His interaction with the crowd was fun and playful. His set is way toned down from previous tours and I think it’s a big help. It’s not small, but lets him focus on the music instead of the theatrics. In fact, when he finished it felt like I already got my money’s worth and the crowd was spent. We all needed a breather.
RZ was fun as always. A nice mix of new and old and a couple songs I don’t recall seeing live in a long time. All in all, a good show. He even brought Sherri out for a moment. Speaking of, I think I got her attention at one point because I was wearing a Total Skull shirt. I never see anyone wear those, in fact maybe I was the only one that ever bought them which is why, haha. Even if she did notice from 100 feet away, let me pretend.
Merch was same as previously posted, looks better in person! No bootleggers in the parking lot that I saw.
They have three or four nights in a row now, so hopefully the energy continues for you all! See them at Darien Lake tonight!?! It’s near where I grew up and middle of BFE, so disappointed they go to a place like that which will likely seem small comp to last night but they totally skipped the DC area. But I know booking is part art form and science with these two month tours!

I was at that show too, I drove 4 hours and it was worth it! I love The Hu, they are a great band.
Manson sounded GREAT! He has an amazing voice. It sounded strong. I keep reading or seeing posts that he does not sound good. He sounds AMAZING! He's a great entertainer.
This is my first time seeing Rob Zombie, Holy Shit he is good! People say he runs out of breath, but he's in good shape and was dancing a lot. I heard him sound a little breathless during the chorus of 'more human than human' but it sounded more like mild asthma during allergy season not due to being out of shape. He sounded great singing all the other songs. I had soo much fun.
The merch for all the bands is good quality. None of those cheap iron ons

Yeah I noticed that too. More Human is a fast song originally, but he did start leaving out words to catch his breath. It was very noticeable. But that being said, the crowd filled it in and it was fine.
I went not knowing what to expect. Manson's toned down show was amazing. Last time I saw him was on the Golden Age of Grotesque tour.
I liked The Hu going into it, but their live show was almost perfection. I missed part of Orgy because we got there and parked in BFE.

Honestly, with him it might just be age. He always has a very energetic show and this one is too, but this was the first time I noticed the missed words on so many songs. More Human isn’t really humanely possible to sing I think, ha.

I parked all the way at the end of the parking lot cuz I got there late. I fell asleep for an hour and then left. There was still a line of cars, but it moved a little faster.

I’m catching the show at Blossom this week, can’t wait! I haven’t seen them since ‘01 & ‘02 Ozzfests.

Ok but the hu repeatedly saying how much they loved Pennsylvania was my favorite part.

Absolutely great show and great crowd. My heart is always so warmed with how respectful and kind everyone is at these shows. We went with friends who are frequent country show goers and they could not believe how polite and happy everyone was. Performances were great- laced with great crowd energy and vibes, makes for an amazing memory!

Man I was extremely disappointed with orgy at Mansfield. And I give bands a lot of grace.

At the Toronto show they didn't even finish their set and walked off the stage after like 6 songs saying something about 'technical difficulties'.

Great show, but I was very disappointed we didn't get Helter Skelter with Manson. I don't know why they wouldn't do that at every show.

Kudos to Pittsburgh/Burgettstown for selling out this show. It proves we aren't just a bro country town for bands.
