I wasn't sure how to spend my Friday night. It had been a rough week due to a ton of things going on at once and due to how insanely hot it had been, for Seattle's standards. I decided that I needed to unwind and go to a concert, although $15 for an 80s Glam Rock cover band and a Dio tribute band seemed a bit steep, but TOTALLY worth it.
My friends and I got to Hayley's Bar & Grill in Everett, WA around 9:00pm, only to find that there was also a high school reunion going on, causing the place to be packed. We had a couple drinks and awaited the first band of the night, which just so happened to be a classic rock/glam metal tribute band from Bellingham, WA called VOYAGER.
They weren't bad, but definitely could use a bit polishing up. The song selection went from AWESOME to OMG I HATE THIS SONG to MEH, but it was enjoyable for what it was.
Songs VOYAGER played were:
The Hellion/Electric Eye (Judas Priest)
Panama (Van Halen)
forgot (Van Halen)
forgot (AC/DC)
Welcome To The Jungle (GnR)
Night Train (GnR)
Whole Lotta Love (Led Zep)
Home Sweet Home (Motley Crue)
Girls, Girls, Girls (Motley Crue)
After Voyager finished up we got a few more drinks and made our way down to the main floor in front of the stage for the band of the night, DIO RISING. I have been talking about this band on here for a while and they definitely bring it, below is a video of them so you can see whats up.
Dio Rising ended up playing for around 2 HOURS, and played all the hits from Rainbow to Sabbath to Dio, and even to Heaven & Hell. I was quite intoxicated, so I will do my best to post all of the songs they played, but bear with me, it will be out of order and possibly incomplete!
I
Neon Knights
Children of the Sea :horns:
Heaven & Hell
Die Young (First time playing it live, AMAZING)
The Sign of the Southern Cross :blaze:
The Mob Rules
Follow The Tears
Gates of Babylon :light:
Kill The King
Tarot Woman
Stargazer :drool:
Man on the Silver Mountain
Stand Up & Shout (...I think)
Holy Diver
Don't Talk To Strangers
Invisible
Rainbow in the Dark
Killing the Dragon
We Rock
The Last In Line
King of Rock and Roll
I am probably missing a couple songs, but that is about it! They put on an absolutely amazing show. I know they tour once in a great while, so if you ever see "Dio Rising" on a flyer in any of your areas, go see them, it is insanely good!
