Coliseum was pretty damn good, too bad like the usual opening band no one seemed to give a shit.
Genghis Tron was disappointing, which I was bummed about. Their music is good (of course when half the shit is pre-recorded and the only live parts are guitars, bass, and vocals that makes sense), but good lord the vocalist sucks dick live. I wish I could say I liked this more, but I can't. They did have a cool light show though.
The Red Chord was epic. My ear drums would like to say otherwise, but they were right on the money. Towards the end the fans all gang piled on Guy and screamed along with him, and there were some nice pits going.
Converge, oh my fucking god. So amazing. People were stage diving before the full band even started (it was just the guitarist at first), people were diving into the pit, and the pit took up over half the floor space. They played like everything I could have wanted to hear. At one point a stage diver managed to kick Jacob in the face and he fell to the ground and the band had to stop for a bit (during Concubine the whole fucking floor was moving), and though he said he couldn't see out of his left eye he kept going.
Fucking epic.
Thanks again for tickets Mandie, I love you so much.
