I'm gonna skip going in to every little detail about the concert, since I know you probably hate reading. I'm just going to do a "quick"review on each of the bands before I drop the pictures on you.
Cheaster French: I'll be honestly with you, I had never heard of this band before I saw them on the line-up for the concert. They suprized me by being good. Thier songs were up beat and danceable. I guess they made a rap cd too because the lead singer was talking about it but I did not hear them rapping. I actully think I'm going to check this band out, maybe they'll even be review worthy!
Panic(!) at the Disco: My history with Panic is alittle rocky. I felt indiffernet when I found out they were going to be playing this show. I really liked thier first cd when it first came out and no one knew about them. But then Pete Wentz had to run his mouth all over MTV and plug them and then at one point there were bigger than Fall Out Boy. That's when I stopped liking them. This was only more confirmed when they put out Pretty. Odd. After seeing them live at this show, my apperication for them was found again. Brendon Urie sang perfectly live. The band mostly played songs off of thier first album A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. I think they only played two songs off of Pretty. Odd (one of those being the single "Nine in the Afternoon"). Brendon was funny and nice. Over all I thought they did a wonderful job and I would even concider seeing them again!
Fall Out Boy: I'm not even just saying this because I'm a hardcore FOB fan but Fall Out Boy have gotten so much better live. I was expecting alot less from them because I had seen TV performances where they sounded awful. But FOB has grown alot since I saw them two years ago at the same venue for the Honda Civic Tour. Patrick sang perfectly and didn't skip around with the words. Pete talked most of the time, typical Pete, but i enjoyed his little remarks none the less. I was very impressed by the setlist they chose to play. They picked alot of old favorites to play, even ones that weren't singles. The best part of thier show was when Pete had the audience decide on weather we wanted to wear "The Take Over" or a very old song. Not knowing what we were in store for, the crowd went nuts and picked the "very old song". Suddenly Brendon Urie came on stage and they started to play a cover of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin' ". I don't even like Journey and I thought this was incredible. Fall Out Boy have always been known for bringing other bands out on stage with them to do a song. I remembered why Fall Out Boy is my favorite band after thier performance.
Blink-182: Somehow me and Alexis mangaged to seat hop up closer than we already were. The back ground for blink's show was neat (as pictured below). The had a large bunny set up near some of the amps (the bunny is blink's logo except this bunny was revamped from the 90's one we are so used to). They came out and ripped the stage apart with "Dumpweed" as thier first song. I have to say Blink's preformance was the best I have ever seen live. They choose alot of great songs, including all of thier hits and alot of fan favorites. Though the setlist seems like it might have been recycled from thier Greatest Hits tour before thier hiatus. I do wish they would have played more songs from Duderanch. Mark and Tom were as funny as ever. It reminded me of being able to experience TheMark, Tom, and Travis Show Live. I am still in awe. I am so greatful that I got to go to this show. It was way worth the $83.50 I paid for the ticket.
PICTURE TIME! I picked the best pictures out of the ones I took. Really these pictures don't do justice to where our seats were. Towards the end when Blink was playing my camera started to screw up and not focus in on anything.
