Sunday Morning
So I took half a day off work. We took our time getting ready and got there about 5:30. Almost no cars. Since it's pretty much in Akron we though "Hey our friend Elijah lives here..let's go visit him". The show starts at 7:30..unknown opener, then Paramore, then No Doubt. We left to get back to Blossom about 7:00. Then we got stuck in the biggest nastiest traffic line ever. OOps! So we didn't see the opener, or Paramore. Damn I wanted to point and giggle at Hot Topic emo girls.
We got there about 9:00 and parked. Then there is a looooong trek by foot that took about 15 minutes to walk. Quick restroom stop, and while in line, a guy turned around and nearly singed by nose hairs with the amount of alcohol on his breath. It was startling. As I found Terry again and we got to the crowd and as soon as we found a spot to stand the lights went down...
I posted the setlist above. They had a big intro music tape and a screen with their 4 shadows cast before they came out. The sound at first was awful. Due to where we were standing and the overhang style stage.. *Bad idea* Blossom designers. Lawn people get to hear a muffled sound if you arent close. A few songs later we moved closer and closer in the lawn and found a good spot with far better sound.
The show.. WOW. I was impressed. Gwen sounds goood. The band was tight. She hit a rough spot in Hella Good because of the low notes.. but otherwise all the good notes in all the songs were right on. Their sound mix was very clear too. I dont know all the words and I could understand them. That's great at an outdoor show.
Highlights: "Bathwater" was hawwt. "Hey Baby" rocked and had the crowd going more than any other fast song. "It's My Life" was niiice. They pulled that one off very well live. "Just A Girl" was very high energy (Gwen was doing pushups on stage during the intro). "Stand and Deliver"..the Adam Ant song. I heard their version of this online and wasnt convinced. I love the original too much. But live.. they brought it and this was one of the best songs of the night. and Rock Steady was a nice vibe towards the end of the show.. much better than the album version in my opinion.
Oh and Gwen talked about she will forever remember Ohio for its White Castles.. lol
Tragedy of the night - the 40+ Lady who almost set herself, the boy n front of us, and her own beer on fire because she was toooooore up and dancing Freebird style. Hippy dance of life and beer. Scary!
