Rage Against The Machine Opening Alpine Valley 08-24-07

[Akira1422]

I think I was just under the camera man for this. Most amazing show of my life.

[Gratefu1Dead420]

I was SO bombed for this show, best night ever.

[saltypork3]

Honestly the best show I've ever seen. Crazy muddy night. Couldn't get out of the parking lot for 5 hours but worth every moment.

[disporting]

@saltypork3 What was with all the cars having Bush/Cheney bumper stickers though? That was the weirdest part... It was amazing, regardless.

[AdolfMcNugent]

Fuck you I wont do what ya tell me!

[timberwolves100]

I barely made it of there alive. Craziest show in history.

[zep123dmc]

came here to watch some of this shit to get me pumped up for when rage comes back after almost 2 years to play their first show of a handful of european gigs tomorrow!

[ojpdrummer]

i was in the pit. creeped my way in before the show behind some dude in a wheel chair and bum rushed the security the minute rage came on. the pit. FUCKING intense.

[jburowz]

i wish i could have enjoyed this concert.. what an awesome band with an awesome message. my freinds foot got broken while you mother fuckers were pushing forward to see the band. thank for ruining my friend's night and mine.

[Akira1422]

@jburowz

That's the one thing I didn't like about the show. We were 2nd row behind the pit, and we still had people pushing and shoving like mad to get there. It got to the point where the security couldn't hold people back. Even in the seats people almost ran us over. My buddy is 6'8 500lbs tho, he protected my small ass. Was an unreal show tho.

[RagingRhyno21]

This was my first concert, and only concert I've ever been to. I might never go to another. Because I can't possibly imagine something being this awesome ever again. I live in WI and started liking Rage shortly after they broke up.  I knew it was my only chance I'd ever see them and glad I did. Greatest night of my life by far.

It's truly magical when you get thousands and thousands of people screaming "Fuck you, I won't do what ya tell me!" simultaneously. I still get goosebumps...

[tito283]

my Buddie broke his leg and i broke the barricade there.

[32fb32]

JUst got the fucking chills again!

[pOOpsMy3rdEYE]

I have chills as I am writing this.....craziest concert I have ever been to and will ever be at....the energy at alpine that night was so unreal and will never happen again!!

[apancher]

same here. fucking amazing night

[RATMagainstbush8]

i just got chills fucking again.

I wish i could go back in time to the amazing rainy summer day get back in the front right in front of Tom again and just jam and release all my energy and anger.

God damn i love em. Cant get enough of em! RISE UP PEOPLE!

RATM FOR LIFE!

[fytinfukinndrinkin]

Wish I could live this show again. soakin wet and muddy as fuck. Rage took care of us. That was a badass show after Queens of the Stoneage sucked ass

[deathcontinued]

Queens of the Stoneage are better then half the shit we got out there, now.

[maserati1990]

qosta do not suck ass man.... but fuck yeah wish i could see rage rite now

[5150bythenight]

f my son was in a band as great as RATM, I'd do the same shit as Tom's Mom...cussing on stage & all!

I think she's awesome for doing that!

And THEY are the best!!!

[deathcontinued]

And Zack runs right out there to hug her, mad respect!

[ArmorCrew]

me and my buddies drove almost 6 hours to go to this show, ill never forget it.

[brakkum]

same here. worth every dollar and second.

[apancher]

haha i drove about the same. i also had about a thousand dollars of damage done to my car. oh well, it was worth it

[SHERM4201]

That was THE BEST NIGHT EVER! I took care of toms aunt at a nursing home. and got to meet him twice. got pics and autograph. then a few months later my mom met him at a cubs game. Needles to say my dad and bf was jelous.

[meyer320]

I was there that shit was sick all the railings got ripped out!

[giodoh]

wtf if morello's mom came to italy and did that thing too i would have gone crazy

[jfdorner]

i was at this show, gotta love living in wisconsin. sends shivers down my spine hearing it again

[yoobboobtoob]

i agree!

[apancher]

i was there too. simply amazing night

[jamnitro]

Not weird at all. Rage live changes your life. No live show compares.

[6369rd]

@jamnitro True Story

[maserati1990]

i started to think when rage got back together that zack had lost some energy, cos he is forty now, but lol, i was wrong ay

rage could still be touring in twenty yrs the fan base is too big - he could sit down and whisper into the mic the crowd would jump like motherfuckers cos they respect him that much

he doesnt need to try to get up the audience

[milijrage]

That is true!

[maserati1990]

sends SHIVERS down my spine brotha. SHIVERS.

soo good

[chicagofunk23]

best ever ezln y basta

[dannyomanie]

this was the best show ever! i snuck down to main floor it may sound weird but this show changed my life

[Nannerpooh]

i was so fucking excited when morello's mom came out. i have been a rage fan for years, i cannot believe they came to WI. FUCK YEAH!!

[masturnate42]

i was 10 feet from zack in the pit. this vid gives me goosebumps every time i watch it

[TeRaV117]

the energy and vibe in the air when they played this song - if you didnt go this concert i feel so bad for you lol

[spender00]

You said it TeraV117, if you didnt go! Jesus! I could NOT FUCKING BELIEVE THE ENERGY. It was surreal!! ABSOLUTELY FUCKING INSANE!!!!! I LOVED IT!!!!! I was screaming every lyrich to the songs!

[TeRaV117]

i was there! best night of my life, was so tired walking out of that place, also had a ring in my ears for the next 2 days ;p hard to say what song i liked the best that night but bulls on parade was pretty good

[Lemkes3457]

[maserati1990]

they're headlining all the major festivals for almost the next 2 yrs since they got back man

[RocknRage]

[petekicksass]

[jimbarrou]

[ryno88]

best intro to ne concert.... morellos mother.."the best fucking band in the universe" priceless!... testify was the perfect pick to start off the show... and killing in the name of... was the perfect ending

[spiffybardman]

i think that was the funniest moment ever. i miss it so damn much. fa;kldhafs;ldk

[issamix]

[milijarage]

[robenanderson]

It was an amazing concert...a lot energy, the end of this video starts to show it.

[ExplicitContent666]

thanks for making me shit my pants! CHECK 1 2

[Theauthenticmindset]

holyshit!!, now thats a crowd!! im jealous...

[DaftUnionOnex]

I've got some AWESOME mudslide video from the comment made a while back...post it up in the next couple of days because all the ones on here currently don't do it justice compared to this. I'll stick with my claim too!

[blueorchid69]

of course theres a DVD, didnt you see the cameras everywhere? those werent for Zachs private use duhh

[tweak548]

uh the cameras were for the big screens, not shown on camera, dont think theres a dvd

[iluvfenderbass]

That was probably the greatest moment of my life. I hope they continue touring man. I would kill to go to another show. Queens of the stone age kicked some ass too. Pretty badass live show. You better not be lyin about that DVD neither!!

[emfivemore]

i was there...and like everyone else I ROCKED THE FUCK OUT!!!!!!!!!! BTW, they are making a DVD of the show because my boy and i were interviewed for it in the parking lot before the show started. had to sign release forms and everything! RAGE FOREVER!!!

[YertleDaTurtle]

A new DVD? Holy shit, I praying...

[Tbxz]

God gave me chills just watching this!

[spy13]

I heard about the DVD lets just hope its true!!

[Orochieddie]

That is Tom Morello's mom that introduced them recovered1. She has done it in previous shows as well.

[superfinger65]

haha shit i was at that show man!!! that was the craziest thing ever!!!

[DillonArloff]

i heard the same thing. it'd be soo fuckin awesome to be part of a vid like that..PS. does anyone have any sweet mudslide vids?

[brenzicat]

One of the cops told us that they were filming for a DVD....

[suckafartfrommyass]

yeah, that's what that giant robotic camera that was floating around all night was for!

i saw the same thing when i was at the shoot for system of a down's hypnotize video

[vinje55]

really? i hope they make a DVD of that concert, it was amazing

[eldermisanthropy]

and there was a golf cart going up and down the line with a camera and on the front it said "RATM Production" so i was thinking the same thing, if this is true, FUCK YES!

[recovered1]

So was that Zacks mom that introduced the band.....and were those his young kids that were sitting in the folding chairs on the left of the stage?? All I know is that I'm getting too old to be in the pit (49 yrs).....gonna lose the nails on both my bloody big toes

[davecmeyers]

It was Mary Morello (Tom's mom) that introduced them.

[maserati1990]

tom's mom*

[rubenchuchuy]

fuck yeah it was the sickest shit EVER!!! I was in the middle of the fucling pit!!!!

[yeahfuckthat]

watchin the video is getting me pumped like the fucking concert.

[downlofosho]

this concert was so sick

[rockinfreakpotomous]

What are your thoughts on all of the recording equipment (both audio and video) on site for the show? DVD in the works perhaps?

I was over in row MM on the Tom's side, fucking sick show!

[IndyFunGuy]

Well I don't know about a DVD....it's possible I guess, but the camera equip is pretty standard for any show nowadays with the video screens. I didn't see any audio recording stuff there...but then again I didn't look for it either. If there was audio recording equipment, I'd say something is in the works for sure.

[brakkum]

the camera cranes are pretty much only used for dvd shoots, they had them. plus when i was in line to get in a golf cart with a camera and mike stand drov e around the drowd getting some video. so id say yes to a dvd.

[muck187]

@rockinfreakpotomous Wicked! I was in row MM on the other side! Best show I've EVER seen.

[piratemcdaddy]

FUCKKKK YAHHHH. I think I was really close to this camera. What row were you in?

[IndyFunGuy]

Section 201, Row RR, Seat 57

[piratemcdaddy]

nice. I was directly infront of you: section 201 row BB seat 57 too. Testify was such a great opener. I was rocking out so hard.
