Outstanding performance by the BEST band in the world. Finishing off the 2008 Bound By the Road Tour, in tow is Rosengard,Instinct of Aggression, Straight Line Stitch, and the reformed SNOT.
As usual DD brings the bands from parts unkown to come share in the madness. One of, if not the biggest pit party by a opening act, there are indeed a great number of SNOT fans who have been keeping a lot of energy in for about a decade. The PIT BULLS were literally catapulting victims over the front row and barrier, a couple times into the stage and really only 1 time they missed and pile drove the fan into the steel barrier head first. He went to the hospital and was the worst casualty. A bit of blood here and there , otherwise the usual respectful pit bunch.
A very different set list than even in April so get out there and support or you WILL regret it.
The Snot set was exceptional making this a great show.
If you have never seen a DevilDriver show or if you are a long time fan you will not be disappointed. The boys are tighter than ever a finely tuned machine indeed. Another week to go - get ready Vegas and California - then South Africa next for the Drivers of Destruction.
As for the Spokanians, we await DOWN next week. Rock On!

Famous closing song to date, but the crowd wanted more, they could have easily played another mindfuck crippling hit. About the BEST way to leave it, with the crowd wanting more. But they should hit the Springsteen method next tour and play for three hours. (This reporter's opinion)
Without a doubt, DevilDriver is the greatest band in the world. Extremely hospitable beyond compare, they welcomed us and our hospitality with open arms. We cooked up some grub and got the red carpet AND the welcome wagon out to show them the respect the deserve.
Some good food is what they need the most, they seemed to enjoy Miss Sandy's lasagna and stews. Topped off with Butter Tart Pie and Brownie's (totally hash free) .
We are duty bound to keep the hospitality flowing and make Spokane THE premier Pit Stop for touring bands to the Pac NW.
