GODSMACK “The Vibez Tour” 04-19-24 @ Mystic Lake Casino, Prior Lake, MN
I’ve been a fan of Godsmack for over twenty-five years. I’ve seen them perform quite a few times in different venues across different states, but I was blown away by their show at the Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake, Minnesota. The “Vibez Tour” kicked off in Tulsa in mid-February, hitting nearly forty cities nationwide. The band is known for their over-the-top rock n roll shows–most often performing in front of tens of thousands of fans, shooting pyro, and engaging with a mosh pit; it’s always amazing. So, what would it be like to fit the band into a 2000-person capacity theater and play a mostly acoustic set? That’s exactly what the “Vibez Tour” is about– an intimate evening with Godsmack, hearing the stories behind some of the songs and listening to them played with a little less intensity.
