Karissa Vassallo di “Read Between The Grooves” ha postato una bella recensione del concerto di Uncasville e della data all’Orion Music. Queste le parti della recensione che ci interessano:

Sunday began as a hot and humid day, with no cloud cover to give the overheating – yet determined – fans a break. From the moment the gates opened, a mass of Avenged Sevenfold fans gunned themselves toward the Fuel Stage. Many had felt a near torturous wait ahead of them as the bands came and went. A Place to Bury Strangers had taken the stage first, and left many in the crowd aggravated with the sight they had seen. A few members of the audience described it as an hour-long jam session, which included the guitarist throwing his very beat up across the stage on multiple occasions and the bassist playing a bass that wasn’t just out of tune – but only had two strings.

Thousands of fans had gathered around the stage when it was time for Avenged Sevenfold to hit the stage – making it genuinely unbelievable that they weren’t playing the main stage. Friend and fan of the band, drummer Lars Ulrich, had come on out to introduce them. Once again opening with the lead track to their 2010 release, “Nightmare”, the crowd automatically went crazy. Mosh pits opened and crowdsurfers kicked the heads of those ahead of them. During “Critical Acclaim”, you could easily catch members of the band pointing to the sky during the late Jimmy Sullivan’s vocal tracks. The band, being fans of Metallica themselves, were visually excited to not only be playing the festival, but seeing the “Four Horsemen” themselves. The band took no breaks, due to their one hour time slot, and kept the energy flowing. playing a much similar, but shorter setlist to two days prior. Once again, it was announced that they were filming this set as well for their upcoming DVD, driving the crowd nearly barbaric during “Unholy Confessions”. An unstoppable flow of crowdsurfers made their way toward the stage, and the most massive mosh pit opened up, squashing everyone in its path. It’s safe to say that Avenged Sevenfold’ s final set of their Nightmare cycle was a bittersweet, yet successful one.
