And their set was absolute
perfection, so mind blowing. Songs that you could sing along with (always an
added bonus). The energy, was unbelievable, never slowing down for a second,
which also kept the crowd just pumped. With all those bodies on the floor it
was one intense hot show, but no one complained, we were all there to observe
one of the greatest bands perform. I am still in awe as I write this. And
believe it or not, I was still able to stand up front at the bar, holding on
for dear life mind you, but not willing to give my spot to anyone. They played
a variety of songs, from old to new, and Mark Tornillo on vocals did an unparalleled
job.
Wolf Hoffman, had everyone’s
attention, his playing ability, his movements on stage, whether by himself, or
with the other members, was phenomenal. But in all fairness, each and every
member on stage, were exceptional, and very camera friendly. When they played
the renowned song “Balls to the Wall” there was not a single person who was not
singing along, we all knew the words, and the crowd went crazy for this song.
ACCEPT has left a lasting impression on me. An amazing group of guys who obviously
love what they do, and it shows when they are playing to a crowd. If you missed
seeing these guys, you missed out on the best performance to date in Vancouver.
Don’t make that mistake again, next time they come to town, be there, support
ACCEPT, I know that’s where I am going to be. Hope they return soon. There
truly are no words to really tell you how fantastic this set was. I didn’t do
them justice at all, but damn, they kicked some major ass in Vancouver on
Friday night.
