Prior to the headliners, there were four opening acts that played this show, the only one worth a mention being the third band in the lineup, LA-based progressive hard rock trio After who took the stage promptly at 9:30 and as it turned out, were musically the best band of the night. Their excellently self-improvised rendition of The Doors’ ‘Riders On The Storm’ is always a highlight and stood out on this occasion as well, but the band’s own original material sounded equally strong as the fullness of the sound generated by the three-piece lineup resonated the room impressively and showcased each member’s abilities. They proved that they belong on the big stage. They are simultaneously radio-friendly as well as progressive. After is all about pure talent. – See more at: http://metalassault.com/gig_reviews/2015/04/16/mac-sabbath-at-the-whisky-more-about-mac-than-sabbath/#more-6258
