Ghost's The Ultimate Tour Named Death with Nothing More

Ghost’s 

The Ultimate Tour Named Death

With

Nothing More

At

The Deltaplex Arena

Last Monday, the Deltaplex Arena hosted the bands, Ghost and Nothing More. 
It was a cool windy evening in Grand Rapids, Michigan; the people waiting in line
could feel it but it didn’t matter.  The workers at the Deltaplex Arena were very
helpful and hospitable to all the concert goers.  

There was a mixture of people in line that were interesting to see.  There were
hard rock fans, metal fans, and then there were people dressed as evil priests
and evil nuns. The priests and nuns were all wearing upside down crosses to
be eye catching.

Soaring Eagle Casino

Mount Pleasant, Michigan

Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort hosted an outdoor concert featuring Five Finger Death Punch, In This Moment, and Fire From The Gods.  The show was on Saturday July 13th, in the evening with a sunny high of 84 degrees with a light wind caressing the concert goers.  While I was packing for the show, I did the Michigan thing... showing my assistant where we are heading on my right hand palm up.

This was the first time in the area as neither of us had ever been in the area before.  When we arrived, there was plenty of parking for everyone to have a good time. The resort and casino is very large to us and is well kept up, clean outside everywhere you looked.

It was a perfect day in Grand Rapids, Michigan waiting in line to get was near
70 degrees outside without rain.  It was enjoyable talking to fans while waiting
in line about past concerts they have gone to comparing the ones I have and
have not been to.

At

Van Andel Arena

Grand Rapids, Michigan

Van Andel Arena hosted Godsmack, Volbeat, and Stitched Up Heart last Friday on

April 19th.  I knew with this lineup the show would be sold out and it was.  I

fumbled around getting my cameras together and made sure I brought a double

camera set up for experimental stereoscopic 3d photos for the 3d viewers for

smartphones.  I was only an hour away in South Haven, Michigan and had no

worries so I wasn’t in a hurry and left early.

Van Andel Arena

Grand Rapids, Michigan

Last Monday Breaking Benjamin, Five Finger Death Punch, Bad Wolves and From Ashes To New endeavored the weather to rock out a Van Andel Arena,

Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Before making it to the show I had many worries of

the day. Most important on my list was my maintenance work helping guide

and unload heavy equipment from a crane.

The next worry was the bad weather that Monday morning was very bad all
along the Lake Michigan shore and inland there were many school closings
around the area.  By the time I got out of work in the afternoon the roads were
clear from South Haven where live to Grand Rapids which was a big relief as
far as driving. As I made it to will call at Van Andel Arena I noticed the long
lines forming outside and down the block.

as the

Generation Axe Tour

November 20th five guitar gods/heroes invaded 20 Monroe live in Grand Rapids,
Michigan as the Generation Axe Tour.  On a Tuesday evening with a cold wind
blowing it was roughly mid 20’s waiting in line.  I didn’t expect that there would
be a long line but showed up early just in case and was surprised at the long
line that formed after I arrived there.  

5 Seconds of Summer With The Aces at the Allegan County Fair 9/7/18

At

The Allegan County Fair

Today was adventure day for many concert goers including my daughter and I,
last Friday, September seventh at the Allegan County Fair.  We anxiously got
our concert clothes together to wear; I decided to wear black jeans, a Metallica
bandana, and a My Chemical Romance shirt because both bands made
masterpieces of music.  My daughter decided to wear jeans with a rose flower
shirt that Luke Hemmings pointed to while singing “Want You Back” later during
the show.  

You may wonder why a metal magazine would go to the show we picked.  
5 Seconds Of Summer touch on many genres of music.  We enjoyed their
performance in the past of “American Idiot” by Green Day, they really rocked it.
We had high hopes of getting press so we could score an interview but we did
not get it, but we made the best of it with cell phone and point and clicks on
hand.  My assistant/daughter is a music performance (violin) major/graduate
from Lake Michigan College and she really enjoys the quality of music the
band performs and is head over heels for Ashton Irwin.
