I had a feeling about this show when I woke up on Sunday morning. I knew it was going to be unforgettable.
The Roundhouse was a stunning choice of venue and to have Orange Goblin supporting was perfect! They were blinding.
As for down... From Eyes of the South to Bury me in Smoke, I was in southern metal haze! They absolutely tore the place apart and played a blinding set!

Best out of three times I've seen down - venue was small enough to be within 6 ft of the band yet big enough to have a decent pit - everything was on form, energy was amazing - can't wait to see em again!

Although i could barely hear the vocals due to be right at the front. I simple moved back to the mosh pit and was able to hear the full effect of Phils vocals. Truely unforgettable gig!

Down. The only true subgroup. Amazing performance. Seen down twice previously & pantera 12 years ago & must say Phil Anselmo has never sounded better.

The chance to see Warbeast was fantastic then the great opportunity to then see Orange Goblin in full glory was great and then the sound of the bass and the snare when Jimmy Bower was stood behind the drum kit sent shock waves around the acamedy making all aware that we was going to experience someone only few have felt before.
Then the incredible stage presence that Mr Philip H. Anselmo dominates and commands the crowd with his bass voice and horror screams in songs like temptations wing, lifer, loosing all and then their song recognised as their most popular Stone the Crow with the crowd signing the whole song for him. You could see how impressed Anselmo was with the reaction that Manchester gave.
A big thank you was sent out by all the guys and an outro of bury me in smoke for 12 minutes has been engrained into my mind forever and I will always thank Anselmo and the rest of DOWN for that memory.

Friends, beer, Eyehategod & Crowbar shirts... what's missing? Oh, yeah, the band! Coming over from Aberdeen by bus allowed for many Pantera-style hijinks and by late afternoon the 6 of us, my own band, 2 of our girlfriends and one good friend were more than ready to get our NOLA on and rock the hell out.
After about an hour of trying to find the venue (thank goodness for the maps application on Crisp's iPone) we got there to find a collection of people who could well have been our clones - a great sign that we had finally found the venue, a wonderful, small venue that would certainly have the necessary energy to keep Phil Anselmo happy. The other clue was hearing the band's soundcheck of 'Nothing In Return'.
Being an early bunch of arrivals we had us a few beers, spent a LOT on merch and headed straight for the barrier. We had made it. The opening band had a lot of energy and certainly had a lot of talent, however they seemed to have an identity crisis and may have believed themselves to be Lamb of God. Not necessarily my cup of tea but everyone else seemed to like them. However, nobody came to see an opening band. This was Glasgow's night to be buried in smoke.
Lysergik Funeral Procession was loud. Very loud. Kirk (in a kilt), Pepper, Rex and Jimmy powered through the intro, my jaw dropped to the floor at the sheer sonic assault I was experiencing for the first time from the New Orleans quintet in 3 years. Then came the moment everybody seemed to be waiting for: Phil Anselmo appeared on stage and owned the venue from the word go.
They had it all, undoubtedly; great songs, great sound quality and best chemistry I've seen from a band in years. Songs from 'Over the Under', 'A Bustle in Your Hedgerow' and the legendary 'NOLA' were recieved like the best drug one could imagine. As songs like 'The Path', 'N.O.D', 'Ghosts Along the Mississippi' and 'Stone the Crow' came and went, we all went insane. Sadly, though, some people weren't observing the time honoured laws of the pit and I needed to get a beer before I literally killed those behind me.
Following 'Stone the Crow', the question from Phil came. "What do y'all wanna hear?" The crowd was divided between 'Stained Glass Cross' and 'Bury Me in Smoke'. The latter won, and was played fantastically. The energy of the band and the crowd was feeding back and forth; although the days of Pantera are behind us, the charisma and power of Phil Anselmo, and for that matter, the rest of the band, hasn't disappeared at all. If anything, they all seem to be doing better than ever.
So, how do you do an encore when you've already played your 'hit'? Close with something from the new album? It's so crazy it just might work - and work it certainly did. 'Nothing in Return' was absolutely fantastic, with the crowd singing in unity. Could it get any better? Well, actually, yes. Phil wandering to the front of the stage, microphone in hand and singing a truly immortal line.
"... And she's buying a stairway to heaven!"

this was my first headline Down show. having been blown away by them at Download 06, i was excited as ever. only downer was the Support act....Madman as absolute i think they were, they were absolutly terrible. sound like every other metalcore band out today, not impressed. Down opened with Lysergik, and played songs like On march the saints, the path, stone the crow, and also bury me in smoke. seeing Phil anselmo back to his best, amazing vocalist and is looking in great shape. The Encore was amazing, last song on they're Latest Release Down III : Over the under. Nothing in Return was a perfect finish for a perfect night. Train Home was just a shuffle of all the down songs i had heard. Can't wait for Down IV.

Brilliant gig. The guys were on good form. A couple of hickups during a couple of songs but it all added to the atmosphere. Made it a proper live show. They're only human afterall!
Played a good setlist. Gig finished quite early. Would've liked for them to stay on a bit longer (obviously!) but all-in-all a great gig.

Well security was very strict,but after the long wait it was good to get in.The bar was relatively cheap.First band came on and was good.When Down came on ,the place erupted,a nice small venue to see your favourite band.It is my gig for 2009 and Metallica coming in second..The band had great interaction with the crowd and look forward to many other Down gigs in future.
