The crowd seemed gassed after Slayer and left kinda silent and fast.Tee shirts were the best Ive seen.Dissappointed that only Testament included The Am.Carnage tour on the back.None with all 3 bands.New designed Megadeth shirts tho,really good shirts.35$ a long sleeve was 50$Went to the Mustaine book signing in the AM. and Dave was super cool.Shook my 15yr olds hand and had a small conversation abt guitar playing.Used both his hands to shake my kids,bowed his head and said"Heres some mojo for ya good luck!"My kid abt pissed himself.Great day in Chicago.

This should've been on Letterman!

grammar aside, 'twould be better to police set list/gig report thread title guidelines, yes?

edited to say, the kid meeting Mustaine is a nice highlight however.

I made some grammar corrections to my post and will try to follow the guidelines of this page in the future.

For anyone keeping score, Slayer did not play Aggressive Perfector in Chicago. They went straight from Raining Blood into Angel Of Death.
