Meshuggah Plays the Diamond Ballroom During a Tornado

Only 225 people showed up that night.Meshuggah. Strapping Young Lad. And Highwayman live at the Diamond. A tour worth bragging about.But it wasn’t just heavy riffs shaking the walls.It was May 9. The infamous tornado night.Half a mile down the road was complete destruction. And the band is standing outside asking, “What do we do?”You could see it in their faces. This wasn’t normal tour stress.The Diamond has always been in the path. Storms roll through, fly over, keep moving. That’s the rhythm if you’re a native Oklahoman. You don’t panic. You read the sky.So the call was simple.“We need to get up, play the show, and get on down the road.”Two hundred twenty-five brave souls inside. A tornado tearing through the city. Double bass drums and warning sirens competing for volume.That’s Oklahoma.Ten out of ten times? No guarantees.But sometimes you ride it out. And sometimes the show still goes on.Like, share, and follow so these stories keep getting told.Follow & Connect: Max Baker Jr. Instagram @bmaddmaxx | Facebook @bmaddmaxx  Jeff Brownen Facebook @jeff.brownenHere’s The Deal YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@heresthedealokHere’s The Deal Podcast Website https://heresthedealok.comBuy Here’s The Deal Vintage & Collectables https://heresthedealvintagecollectables.comGet an Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Card https://medcardsmadeeasy.netConcert & Event Production Services https://bakerboyspro.comBuy Roadie CBD Balm & Oil https://bakersremedycbd.com
