Godsmack – The Palace- Los Angeles

ALLRIGHT!! This was the concert I had been waiting for. I missed GODSMACK the last couple times they were in L.A. I made sure to not miss them this time. Thanks to Krista Mettler from Universal Records I was set. This was one terrific concert. GODSMACK is as good live as on CD. This is …

The Whiskey 10/28/99

Before I begin, I’d like to thank Mark at MA Entertainment. You rule. Now, on with the show! When the doors open at 8pm and there is already a line, you know you’re in for a packed show, well most of the time. Tonight was no different, by the end of Hydrovibe‘s set the place …
