Yeah, it was pretty cool, they even played "Walk" and "Becoming". At the middle of the show they stopped and some guy wearing a "best dude" t-shirt(later found out it was Vinnie's drum tech the "Kat" who also got shot on the leg) came out and started passing shots of whiskey to the crowd while the band was doing the same thing but with cans of Coors light. Dimebag did a 5 minute+ guitar solo which was pretty amazing that got the whole crowd to start chanting "Dimebag, Dimebag!" Later I read on a magazine Vinnie Paul saying that Dimebag wanted for years to do that at Pantera live shows but Phil wouldn't let'em. And as my final highlight of the night, when Shadows Fall got on the stage I made my way to the second floor of the venue so I could have a better view for the band cause I didn't want to be on the pit no more and like after 10 minutes into Shadows Falls set Vinnie Paul comes out with the singer of Damageplan and just hung out there during the rest of the show drinking and all, it was cool as shit, I even got to shake hands and talk a little with Vinnie. I still got Dime's pick from that night, I saw people selling them in Ebay for like $50 bucks or something... there's no way on earth I'd do something like that, I treat mine like gold.

That's freakin' excellent man! Becoming is an awesome song! And the Kat is a cool dude, i only know him from the PanterA home videos, but those videos show a lot of the crazy stuff they do
There's no way i would sell that guitar pick, and selling it for like $50 is like giving it a way or worse, that pick is priceless. I would frame it if i were you.

MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has posted the following message in the "Forums" section of the band's official web site:

"Some of us are spending our days reflecting on our great friend Darrell Abbott. I know it is a very emotional day for some of us. I wanted to take this time to say that I believe Darrell has been touched by how many of us loved him and helped after this went down. I also think he would rather we think about how rad he was and the great moments we shared with him, more than that fact he is gone. But this is just me."

hope this doesn't sound the wrong way but we all die and his passing was as "guitar/metal god" as it gets, and that he was and remains

one of my guys cried last year in class because of dimebag. it was really a tragedy and all the kids who are fans of music, especially a certain raucous fun and free music were deeply saddened.
