I just saw AFI last night. hell yeah! In Rochester, New York a.k.a. Detroit Part 2. Man, it was SOOOOO much fun. Front row the entire time, met the band afterward (minus Davey who was visiting relatives). Wow, definitely one of my most favorite concert experiences of all freaking time. I miss it already.

Other than that I'm seeing The Blood Brothers July 12th and the Shelter.

I saw REM two nights running a couple of weeks ago and they were amazing. Pete Yorn opened up the first night and I was really impressed so I'm going to see him again when he does a headlining show here in September. Back to REM though - they were playing in Brixton Academy which is tiny for them - about 4,000 people - and I got right down to the front. They played for 2 hours each night and played loads of old songs and really mixed up teh setlists each night - they played 36 different songs - at least one off every album including Carnival of Sorts from their first EP and 5 songs from my favourite album (Life's Rich Pageant). Micheal Stipe was on really good form - talking loads and telling us how he'd seen the Smiths in the same venue and how he'd stolen some of his moves from Morrissey!

I also saw Evanescence (who were pretty good, though sounded a bit too much like the album in places and were over-reliant on backing tapes too - but still sounded good and I had a fun night), QOTSA supported by Sparta - both of whom were really good. And Good Charlotte - but that was filled with little kids who only knew the singles and wasn't much fun.

I'm seeing Finger Eleven 4 weeks today though - I can't wait

OK, here's my last concert experience.

Reel Big Fish/Zebrahead/Wakefield/The Matches.

OK, I get there with my friend and my ex-girlfriend, and I run into yet another ex-girlfirend, and she didn't even recognize me. She found out who I was and spent the next five minutes playing with my hair. Girls love the curls...oh yeah.

OK, so the music starts. The Matches were surprisingly good. I liked their music. It was infectious pop-punk, and not the annoying Good Charlotte kind. The only setback of their set was the fact that their lead singer looked like the biggest douche bag ever. He was a skinny little fuck with a mohawk singing songs of no importance. That was the only thing that bothered me.

Next up was Wakefield. Horrible. Worst band I've ever seen, and I've seen *Nsync. It was like New Found Glory, but with obnoxious guitar players, a bassist that looked like he was strung out on crack, and the whiniest vocals I've ever heard. Horrible.

Then Zebrahead came on stage. They know how to work a crowd, but damn, their fans are jackasses. I've never seen a crowd for any band look so different from each other. People there had mohawks and were going crazy, but there were short, incredibly fat women singing along too. I didn't like them all that much. But then again, I usually don't like getting my ass kicked by random people, so yeah.

Reel Big Fish came out, and my God, are they fun live. They played all their best songs except for Everything Is Cool, which let me down. People don't know how to skank, which is a shame. I feel like giving a seminar before every ska concert I go to from now on, because people need to learn.

But yes, it was a great show, and I am glad I went. The next show I am seeing is July 15 to see Koufax!!! And the legendary Emo Bethany will be there!!! I hope to see some people there that I met at their last show. They were really nice. I sound emo right now, so I will shut up. Koufax!!!
