This show was truly something else. I was able to meet Mastodon prior to the show, and they are all super down to earth, and awesome dudes. The show itself was spectacular. Lorna Shore and Gojira performed amazing sets, giving all they have, and Mastodon was just one continuous epic experience. Santander also had the best security I’ve ever seen at a show. Great 31st birthday show!! MASTODON 4 Life!

Mastodon was om fire from beginning to end. The setlist relied heavily on older material and was pute bliss for hard-core fans like nyself. I love everything they do but the old stuff holds a special place in my heart. The visuals were unmatched by todays standards. All hail the mighty Mastodon!!!! Openers Lorna Shore was amazing and heavier than a 747 plane and co headliner Gojira was equally amazing. Best ticket I've se3n since the 90's.

Nice venue, good sound, clean, friendly staff, safe secure parking close by. Just like everywhere now everything (tickets, food, drinks, merch, parking) all seemed way too expensive, at least some of it is going towards supporting bands I like. Mastodon was fantastic as usual. I’m a guitar guy, but whenever I see Mastodon, I can’t take my eyes off the drummer…just amazing drumming. Gojira has a couple of new fans too. I dragged my wife along with me to the show. She’s more of a 90’s rock girl and not as much into anything on the metal side, but she appreciated the showmanship of Gojira. Neither one of us was familiar with Gojira, but they killed it out there. Great concert.

This would be the 4th time I've rolled to a Mastodon show and I have to say this may be the tightest I've ever seen them play. The vocals were better in the mix, Troy brought the usual stompy swagger, Brann looked genuinely happy to be performing, Bill's and Brent's leads were a magic to behold - and I don't remember ever seeing the keyboard player, Reddit Heads say this Joao Nogueira? All in all the lads looked to be having a blast! Gojira - this was Spiritual. Those cats brought a fresh energy to the stage that night, I had already suspected they were deep souls based on their lyrical content alone. Seeing their sincerity and display of raw emotion was a most excellent catharsis for the troubled mind, bringing with it a exhilarating sense of peace and purpose. Their light show was as moving as it was informative if you've ever ventured into the world of global symbolisms and archetypes, with heavy emphasis on the Unity of all humanity and the process of self discovery and healing. These dudes are bona-fide Electric Shamans, I encourage you - catch their show and go with an open mind if you've never heard them before. Yeah, I know - it's necessary that we just sometimes engage in the anger and bang our heads heavy to the pummel of the double bass and the call of the palm muted guitar chords, and for that fix look no further than Lorna Shore. From the all out assault to the senses from start to finish, these lads ranged from down and heavy mosh pit worthy riffs to ethereal leads giving the observer a break to catch their breath. And the vocals? That kid isn't from the surface world man, I have no idea how he is making those bone jarring growls and ascending into the highest and most demonic shrieks I've seen live. The only real complaint on their show was the sub-woofers were way too loud in front at the barricade due to the way it all but drowned out the vocalist and the leads. The best sound was found towards the back of the mosh pit. Great show, great venue!

Mastodon put on an amazing show!! Great Setlist, excellent light & laser show with some ultra badass artwork!! Arizona Financial is a great place to see any live act aside from the lack of brain power concerning merchandise sales only being located in one location. That’s complete stupidity at its peak but every venue seems to do this these days

What an incredible show! I have been a fan of Mastodon for a very long time, but had never been able to see them live until last night. Simply put, the band was amazing and absolutely blew my mind with their musicianship and the ferocity of their playing! I am definitely looking forward to seeing them again next time they come to town!!!

met brent at a random lounge by chance after the show, they gendered me correctly - im not sure if they knew but like -- i started learning guitar 20 years ago bevause of their records oh and live??? they're tighter than the bronx, they sound so amazing, a must see 1000/10

Long-time fan, first time seeing them live. All I have to say is...HOLY SHITE!!! Crack the Skye was freaking incredible! From the start of Oblivion to the head-banging, gut-busting riffs of the Czar to the crazy ass soloing on the Last Baron, I was truly blown away by their performance. The only gripe I had was the crowd’s head banging. I mean, come on! I was there mainly for Coheed but I still listen to the Don, show them some respect by freaking head-banging! On a serious note, they definitely blew my expectations out of the water. I would definitely go and see them again, that is for damn sure!

Loved the show. Brent was having problems with his monitor,and the show was actually double booked. Meaning, 2 headliners with whoever they brought with em. So in all,I got to see Gojira,Mastodon, Eagles of Death Metal,Opeth,Devin Townsend Project, and Russian Circles. It was like a mini Festival that started at around 12noon until about 11pm or so if I remember correctly. Funny, since I really just bought the ticket to see Mastodon who played Dead last,lol...but the bonuses were getting to see and enjoy Eagles of Death Metal, and Gojira. Even though the other bands were talented and rocked it,I wasn't a fan of them,except for the 3 I just listed. Great experience since I was right at the barricade the whole show and in front of Brent Hinds during Mastodon,and never had been to an outdoor show at the Electric Factory. By the time the show was over I had bruised ribs from the crowd pushing me against the steel barricade,but the entire experience was great and the bands played extremely well.

I dreamed about seeing MASTODON on stage! I was tired of waiting their visit to Russia, so I collect sum of money to see them in Germany. These guys just proved their mastery! Concert was awesome! Especially Scott Kelly’s vocals and Brann’s drums. Guys, if you’re reading this, please, visit Russia! I’m sure, audience will blow up concert place!)

They play a killer live show, very precise and impressing musicianship. However I think it was a bit too long. 5-6 somgs less or less time for supports could have been alright. Also they are very versatile musicians but for some reason they played only really heavy songs. I like them, but after 10 songs I felt like its too much. Breaking the line with an easy sound could made it more exciting.

this was an amazing show my girlfriend who has never heard of mastodon loved them and she's more in to reggae. these guys sound just like they do on CD and put on a killer performance. this was my first time seeing them live and they killed it. thanks for coming to bend oregon(:

Genial, como era de esperar. Muy buen sonido y puesta en escena con unas hipnóticas proyecciones. Estos tíos son buenísimos y encima iban acompañados de Scott Kelly de Neurosis las últimas 6 canciones de un repertorio de 20 temas. Fue para no olvidar jamás. Lo único reprochable sería la sala Lucerna que se agradece su limitado aforo para poder ver a los artistas bien cerca pero que tiene unas columnas que según te sitúes en la sala son muy molestas.

Beide Vorbands waren besser, Leistung von Mastodon kann man jedoch nicht wirklich fair beurteilen da der Sound eine einzige Katastrophe war! 3 singende Männer bei Mastodon, alle 3 sind live maximal Durchschnitt. Das auf dem Tonträger geniale Gitarrenspiel war bei diesem Konzert leider nicht zu hören.3 Sterne für die Vorbands.

A good and deep set selection. 20 songs featuring a lot of Emperor of Sand and Blood Mountain. I'm not sure if it's the venue or the gear, but the sound was off today. Brent's guitar and mic were hard to hear, which impacted a lot of the tracks. A little extra volume on the guitars, especially during the solos would have been great. I'd love to hear this mastered and produced as a video. Overall disappointed but glad I got to see them. The opening acts (Eagles of Death Metal and Russian Circles) were great and sounded a lot clearer.

Russian Circles had the best sound of the night, but played way too short. EoDM didn't fit the show but the crowd seemed to like them. Mastodon had a bad mix for the first few songs, but settled in after that. Russian Circles 4*, EoDm (for me) 1*, Mastodon 3.5*.

Kick ass show, I sure hope that it was professionally recorded, because, out of the many times I have seen Mastodon, they have never sounded that good, the acoustics at the Ryman are so good, I can guarantee that it would work for a live album/dvd, so do that shit, my only complaint is that EODM should have opened for Russian Circles, what an amazing band.

I missed Kvelertek. Gojira was awesome, once again. Mastodon was cool, but got dull at times. I like their last two albums, but last two times I seen them live - their show wasn't exciting like when I seen them do their older (before 'the hunter') stuff. Wish they would mix more of those older songs with the new ones. Or at least perform the new albums in it's entirety. I like how they ended their show though...

The band came to the stage more than an hour later than the scheduled time and as a result their performance lasted only for a half an hour ! What is worse they didn't even care to explain the reason to the fans who had been waiting for them all the delay long ! That was very disappointing and disrespectful to the fans :(

Mastodon is one of my favorite bands. Their gig was great! I missed gojira. The line was too big. So I spent some time at a local Starbucks. The apparel selling guys did not accept cards and the ATM was out of order. Luckily the guy gave me a great deal on the autographed poster with the little cash I had.
