Jeff Loomis - Plains Of Oblivion
Jeff Loomis went on tour with VILDHJÄRTA, MONUMENTS and STEALING AXION
I saw them at Sticky 3rd november 2012 and sadly NOT many people showed up at the gig because of other big gigs (DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT + FEAR FACTORY + SCAR SYMMETRY at brewhouse and ACCEPT at Trädgårn)
...but OH my GOD he delivered (in spite of the small audience)
...he jumped down on the floor and played a lot of songs sourrounded by the 40 people in the audience!!!
one of my best guitar-driven concerts ever!!!
a great artist does not care about the number of people, but still do a marvellous show for the people that showed up!
