A Blabbermouth.net user reported the following from the Memorial Hall in Kansas City on Friday, December 7:

"I went to see the KILLSWITCH ENGAGE/LAMB OF GOD show at Memorial Hall in Kansas City last night [Friday, December 7] and LAMB's set was kinda different. First, they reported that on their way to KC, their bus had been hit by a semi-truck. I don't think anyone was hurt, but they did mention it. Second, about a third of the way through their set, all the lights quit working. After a few minutes of playing in pitch black, they stopped and were told that the lights weren't going to come back on. Randy [Blythe, LAMB OF GOD singer] said, 'We'll play this motherfucker in the dark, I don't care,' told everyone to be careful and watch out for each other, and launched back into it. They finished the show with nothing but a few small house lights on. Pretty cool, different situation and they said it was the most memorable show of the tour, one time even saying, 'You know, back in the day, when Abe Lincoln went to metal shows, he had to do it by candlelight.' The lights were fixed between sets and KILLSWITCH was able to use them."

I was at that show, it was pretty sweet. I think someone ended up kicking the light cord, or something became unplugged. Killswitch and Lamb of God were rotating headliners, it was Killswitch's turn to play last. I was a little dissapointed with that, but they both played the same set length, so it was not a big deal. Either way, Lamb of God destroyed Memorial Hall that night.

must have been pretty cool to be there. I don't know why killswitch are getting so much sh** about going last, i think they are a great band, especially live from the 2 times i've seen em. Tbh the last time i saw em was one of the best gigs i've ever seen, entertaining guys.
