What camera are you using for this?

[@MrJdmboiiii]

Last show I went to was to watch TAS last month with one of my best friends, his name is Blaine Ferguson. This speech that Vincent spoke starting at 35:00 was almost exact of what he said that day to us about his dark times of evil and hate. To reach out and speak to someone if you were goin through bad times. I could see in Blaine's eyes that those words hit Him in the heart almost as if he was the only one in the crowd Vincent was speaking to. Blaine yelled "fuck yeah!!" And started a whole entourage of applause in the crowd. Blaine was a crazy motherfucker. Lit up the fucking room everywhere he went. My best fucking friend. He took his own life with a 40. Caliber gunshot to the head while driving home last week. Hearing that speech again made me drop to my knees in sorrow and pain. Blaine you're in our hearts forever. You were the best man. I miss you so much. If you or someone you know is goin through it speak up. You're not alone in this fucked up world.

[@shetzlinejr]

Vincent is such a nice and thoughtful dude. The ultimate role model for the metal community. No need for the tough guy act, you're there to have fun and enjoy live music. Make sure everyone else is too.

Pure fucking energy right here dude... No one on their phones and shit Or just sitting there, Every one just fucking moving!

There was way too much moshing to even try and be on your phone, haha.

[@damianscheurell7504]

I love what he says @ 36 mins real shit right there.

[@tny-]

see how many people immediately went to hug someone? the love's there, sometimes it just has to get pried out a bit. vincent's a good dude for saying that.

[@landoncore92]

Honestly was surprised and happy that he said that. Nice to see him putting out some positivity haha

[@beelzebub7076]

I just love all the energy the crowd gets when combine starts after Vince's speech

[@psycold]

This is the best they've sounded since DL was still in the band.

i was at the tampa show of this tour and good lord it was so beautiful when they opened with the behemoth. i wanted to hear that song live for 10 years. i think i cried

[@djboone7159]

Dude it was so good in Tampa

[@rudy4626]

Vincent is so amazing for getting so real and genuine with complete strangers

[@bernardmorris125]

Man Vincent lost all this weight and became positive as fuck. Not giving pissed off speeches. Always loved the dude

[@JohnFormanPA]

As time goes on, his vocals start to sound more and more influenced by slam. I love it.

The Acacia Strain is a band

Stephen Dre yes they are

Bears shit in the woods

[@tedbauermeister5183]

Thank you for posting this. This was the most brutal mosh pit of my life and I’ve been going to shows for 12 years. I took three shots to the jaw in there and I’m still not chewing right. I can actually see myself in there during a lot of the video. At one point during Vince’s speech he looked me straight in the eye and when he said “Life fucking sucks sometimes, but it will get better, I promise you” that really meant a lot to me because I’ve been struggling with worsening mental health problems for the past couple years. Thank you Vince. I love you brother.

[@skylardelgado3634]

I hope you're doing well man.

[@bmhyakiri]

This was the 10 year anniversary show of him saying "if you call me Vince one more time I'm gonna rip your fucking head off" and people still out here calling him that smh 😤😤 19:40

[@jakecruz9167]

now THIS is a crowd

[@seanwilliams2611]

These kids don’t know how to dance .it’s pathetic

[@XyZDemise]

@@seanwilliams2611 There was no dancing at this show, it was straight chaos and violence. Got round house kicked in the nose 10 minutes into the set lol.

Minus the karate

[@Babyboobearful]

i cant believe ive been an acacia strain fan since i was a aenior in high school, back in 2004....whhhhat the fuck this album was all i listen to for like almost a year

[@mrmustizzle]

With Dead Hands Rising opened up this show, but i wish i crowd showed more love...one of the most under-rated metal bands to ever do it. Daniel Koppy unfortunately wasn't playing, but it was still dope to see them play again.

[@JohnSmith-tz7iy]

Wow Tactical Nuke is actually the perfect song to end with

[@LeoPresents]

So funny when they started taking his drum kit apart.

[@TheEdublove]

Out of every band I know. These guys never changed. Amazing intro.

[@LeoPresents]

10 years later and this record still bangs.

[@CHIMAIRATILLIDIE]

Absolutely love these dude's. Vincent's speech made me feel good. Even though I'm not getting to see these dude's at Fury fest this year due to obvious reasons. I really enjoyed this footage, thanks for the upload. I've also got to say this crowd fucking rocks. I can feel the energy through my computer screen. 🤘

[@iniquiti-iblis]

"The moment I see right now I love this"

[@chrisrobert954]

Saw this tour in San Diego. Wish I was at this date. This is wild. And the production is 100% on point.

[@LeoPresents]

It's cool seeing them get to set up in a big venue environment and showcase how big/solid of a band they actually are.

[@onemorevictim777]

Thank you to whoever made this video! I was in the pit the whole time and it was INSANE!! One of the best shows of 2018 right here.

[@LeoPresents]

Glad you enjoyed the show & video!

[@andywagoner4869]

Me too. Absolutely awesome. It was like a motivational speech and a metal show in one.

[@limzj]

Love to see my favourite bands on ur videos, great quality. Please dont stop doing this. Looking forward for more soon. Keep up the great work.

[@LeoPresents]

Thank you. There will be many more videos to come.

[@hayleycomet8029]

Randomly found this band getting into metal... instantly love these guys!

[@andrewhumphrey8498]

The weird rhythms in Seaward are particularly impressive. I've never heard them do that one live. Very neat.

[@anonymousnate678]

One of the best metal bands anyone could ever have the pleasure of seeing live... These guys put on a show like no one else.

[@LeoPresents]

Years later and the energy is stronger than ever!

[@anonymousnate678]

Hell yeah!!! Saw them for the first time back in 2010 and they've been one of my favorite bands ever since. Was able to catch this set when they came through Kansas. Don't think I've ever thrown down harder at any show in my life lol.

[@thatoneguyhuh5108]

Thanks for posting I hope to go to see these guys live again along with numerous others.

[@LeoPresents]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@metalcorefan93]

This was such a great show with Erra and After the Burial. I love it when the crowd is about my age mid 20s. No one trying to prove shit, a lot less self concious. I did still get knocked on my ass really hard though. It happens.

[@MJistheway]

was front row for this shit, heaviest fucking band I have ever seen live. EVERYONE KILLED IT BEST SHOW EVER

Will forever appreciate this band! Late 90's and beyond! They have come a long way I think in their sound.

One ofmy favorite live intros ever

[@Scrappeedew]

One of the best shows I've been to. I still get chills everytime I think of when they started playing Skynet and 95% of the crowd lost their fucking minds.

This show was legendary!

Great live recording

[@JimMajuri]

Anyone else notice the crowdsurfer get dumped over the barricade at 7:46, and Vincent say "Can I get more security up front to catch people?" That was wholesome as fuck. Vincent is an inspiration.

[@XvXMONSTERXvX]

I really hope the guys in açaí strain made a live album from these shows, rip this recording from the video and remaster it would be nice, haven't been a huge fan of acacia strain but then i saw this video and holy shit man the grooves, energy and screams its so badass and i want a live album of this whole set

[@LeoPresents]

There's no stems to mix or remaster, this is only the onboard camera microphone. Would love to see a live album though, this footage is free for them to use as they please!
