On a side note - Happy Independence Day you Americans. Be proud of your past, remember, Bush isn't America. (More on the 4th (my favorite holiday) later)

This is about the AMAZING Streetlight Manifesto and Reel Big Fish Concert.

AMAZING.

Best concert I've ever been too.

The Videos, which have been uploaded to google, have not yet been verified, so links will be provided both in an edit and in a later post. Unfortunately, due to mic placement, you can hear me screaming along (sometimes wrong lyrics) in like 5 out of 7 videos. ah well... its still a video.

So first of all, it was awesome to be able to be bouncing around singing your lungs out in a pit, then look to the left and see your cousin (ish) doing the same thing, and just grin and keep on rocking out.

In case certain people *cough* wanted to see all the pictures, even though a lot of them didn't turn out well... they're available here: ALL THE CONCERT PHOTOS, FULL SIZE!

The first band to play, the opener, was a band called: Whole Wheat Bread They were an all black Punk band. They rocked pretty hard. Solid beats, good music. (their purevolume stuff does them NO JUSTICE - Look for an mp3 of "Old Man Sampson" / "Police Song"


Next up was this band called Transitions. Aparently MxPx has taken them under their wing.

They were not good, but they had energy (as Matt pointed out) When they hannounced that they could play two more songs, everyone booed. I felt kinda bad for them.


Then the amazingness began.

That's right baby, Streetlight manifesto. Hells yeah. They rocked sooo hard... it was amazing. And they didn't waste they're time chatting, they came out, did they're rocking thang, and then went away. Two new songs (both of which I did not record as a video (damn!)) But let me tell you... their next CD is going to rock so hard! They did a point/counterpoint & Keasbey Medley, as well as It's a Wonderful Life, from BOTAR's album.
This is how far away I started:


And then I moshed my way up till I was ONE PERSON AWAY from the stage! ONE PERSON!!!!

Alot of the pictures are shitty, cause I was being moshed and such. but here goes with the Streetlight portion:
Yeeeah Trombone


Yeeeah Tom and Sax


Yeeah Bari Sax


Kinda the same as trombone one


They were so tight! The horns were solid and together, and they put on a f'awesome show! So awesome.

Next was Reel Big Fish.

They Rocked soo hard. They put on an f'ing awesome live show, man. so good. They act out stuff, and make the craziest facial expressions, and just plain dance along. They have energy and fun, and they too, were tight and together. They have a new live album coming out soon, which I will buy for the ninety versions of S.R. alone. Beasty Boys, jazz, bluegrass, country, emo, punk - every style EVAR.

They had more time than streetlight so I have more pics from them.

I wrote this song about you


I wrote this song about you


Just to let you know Second Trumpet/ Second vocalist


That I hate your guts


Let's hear it for the horns! They make ska ska!


If you want this longass bad boy cut, let me know.

I bounced before MxPx started because... well.. I kinda don't like them.
And turning around before I left, I saw that literally, 3/4 of the people had left the building. and there is no re-entry. Take THAT MxPx - you shouldn't be co-headlining, Streetlight should!

and thus... was the best concert, I have ever been to.
