too much down time and missed the opener
by molepoet on 11/14/23The Dome at America's Center - St LouisI'm no rookie when it comes to concerts, so when the show time said 6:00, I figured the first opener would go on around 7:00. I got there at 6:35 and no one was playing. Five Finger Death Punch started playing around 7:00. They played for maybe 45 minutes. Then a full hour went by before Metallica came on stage. We missed seeing Ice Nine Kills because they apparently started at 6:00 and ended at 6:30. Of course Metallica was great and so was Five Finger Death punch, but, as someone who goes to at least 10 shows a year, I never would have thought it actually started precisely at 6:00 or that the opener would play for such as very short time. Overall, I was super sad because I took my kid mainly to see Ice Nine Kills and missed them.
