Fear Factory

November 7, 2006
Jaxx, Springfield, VA.

G and I braved the rain and the "mixing bowl" of the Capitol Beltway and headed over the Potomac River to see Fear Factory at Jaxx. After a quick bite at the Chinese restaurant next door we headed in to the venue. After the first two bands, one of which was actually pretty good (Hypocrisy), we headed into the pit so that by Fear Factory's arrival on stage we were front and center. It was great. We were able to clearly see Raymond's feet drumming at lightning speed on the bass drums. Watching his feet move so quickly was spectacular. And Burton C. Bell was leaning over and sweating on us all night. G even got to sing along into the microphone. At least 70% of their set was from Soul Of A New Machine. Then 1 or two songs from each of the Albums in between and the rest was from Transgression. It was an amazing show.
