Powertrip night #1 is in the books, as Guns N’ Roses and Iron Maiden took the stage in California. My friend, Kurt Schwarz is there and sent me the pictures below.

Night two of the festival features AC/DC and Judas Priest, with night three consisting of Metallica and TOOL. More pictures to come!

  Kurt had some prime real estate at the show. Here's the guitar legend, Slash.
