Whoo. Not to sound like a retard or whatever,...but oh my Fucking god, that show was amazing. First concert ive ever gone to...it rocked. To start with the openers: i dont quite agree with this:
I thought, as did all of my friends who went(4 others), that greenwheel was great and that they were a lot better than audiovent. It seemed like audiovent was more experienced on stage and were more natural...but...couldnt tell a word they said or anything...but...whatever... onto OLP.
So amazing. They had some smoke pumping out, dimmed the lights, and dropped a curtain on the back wall revealing a shiny Our Lady Peace sign. THe lights were dimmed so low so that all you could see were silouhettes of the band, and there was some sort of distortion in the background that got gradually eitehr more noticeable or louder. The distortion went on for what seemed like forever, but it REALLY built up the tension. And then all of a sudden...they broke into All For You...it was AMAZING and it rocked so bad. I was on the bottom floor back a little towards the next level..and everyone started moshing. THe moshing was crazy...i ended up in the middle-left of it(no choice) with my girlfriend, and my cousing was in the middle of it...he's about 6' 4" and it was hilarious watching him. One dude in particular CRAZY...and keep in mind, my first concert. However, a short while into the OLP set, my girlfriend and i ended up right in front of Raine a lot closer than we had been! The setlist was great. I particularly liked how Raine was climbing the balcony during One Man Army with the chorus going "I remember falling" im thinking to myself "i hope he doesnt fall!". Quite amusing. Another thing that was cool was that the whole crowd knew EVERY song and where singing the whole time..that was cool. It was so amazing...all my friends thought so was well...Phew.
By the way, i noticed the purple hair! Where did you have to drive from?
I cant think of anything else to say but...booyah.
