#273 CONCERT REVIEW - KING DIAMOND & OVERKILL

On Friday, October 25th, 2024, we traveled to The Eastern in Atlanta, Georgia for the Saint Lucifer’s Hospital 1920 Tour to see KING DIAMOND & OVERKILL (LIVE!) in concert, and it was everything we wanted and expected it to be: A perfect venue without a bad spot in the house, incredibly killer bands with album perfect production and sound, and absolutely ZERO traces of “party gravy” to be found anywhere on the premises.

Regrettably, we missed show opener NIGHT DEMON because we had to drive “from South Carolina” through Atlanta traffic to get to the venue and the start time of the show was far earlier than we expected, as opposed to back in the day when it was “doors open at 8, show starts at 2:30 am”.

We have an “UPDATE” from a previous episode regarding “every married man’s fantasy”. It’s time to give some serious thought to the “health trade-off /upgrade dilemma”, because “you know what they say about the 39-year-olds” (“the younger they are, the better they taste”), which is exactly why “you’ve gotta work out and stay in shape” as you get older and JOIN US for a review of KING DIAMOND’s Saint Lucifer’s Hospital 1920 promotional tour (in support of the upcoming new studio album, “The Institute”), featuring OVERKILL and NIGHT DEMON, and find out why it will be worth every penny.
