A great performance from Mastodon. I would give 4.5 stars, because it was not perfect, but I'd rather rate higher than lower for this band. They are very good live. They played the majority of their most recent album, Crack The Skye. They were epic. After they finished their set, they continued with many songs from almost all of their previous albums, including Crystal Skull, I Am Ahab, and Iron Tusk. They finished off with an encore of March of the Fire Ants and Blood and Thunder. Although they didn't deviate much from what you hear on the records, they did play it all well, and they should be heard live. Audio/visual was good. I didn't expect much from Mastodon, but they had some video and "moving pictures" which were good to look at during the show. It added to the performance.
Valient Thorr, Baroness, and Between the Buried and Me all opened for them. I missed most of Valient Thorr unfortunately. Baroness was fantastic (maybe just as good as Mastodon), and Between the Buried and Me was decent as well.
The merchandise at this show is quite good, with plenty of tour-only t-shirts, vinyl and other items avialable. The venue was sold out, or close to selling out, and the crowd was in good spirits the whole night. The Vogue has great drinks as well, and the sound quality is great if you find the sweet spot. Balcony seating is nice if you can get it as well.
