Underoath
This last Tuesday Keith and I both went to another Underoath concert... It had been about a year since we went to the last Underoath concert in Buffalo.
And much like that last Underoath concert that we both considered an insane concert, this concert was likewise totally CRAZY!!!
It was nice that this concert was a whole lot closer to home, and didn't have spend all that time traveling and worry about getting tired.
The Water Street Music Hall was totally packed out - though it's probably more on the smaller size of venues.
It was a really cold wait to get inside, that when inside the heat generated by so many people in such a small space was better than being in the cold...
And it sure didn't take too long until I was sweating enough that all my clothes - even the hoodie I was wearing - were soaked all the way through.
Keith and I were able to squeeze our way to the very front by the time Underoath was playing the first few songs!
The openers for Underoath were person L, The Devil Wears Prada, and Saosin - in that order.
I thought that this was a really good line-up of bands and was a really fun and highly entertaining concert!
person L was pretty decent for a first opener.
The Devil Wears Prada was naturally quite a bit better and more entertaining.
Saosin was pretty awesome! I hadn't heard much, if any, of Saosin's stuff before and could probably get into them! They have a good style.
And finally, of course, Underoath totally killed!
Maybe, it's because their latest CD was amazing and couldn't be any more perfect, or they seemed entirely more cheery and with their game as it seemed to me...
But this is definitely a tour that you don't want to miss Underoath on!
I thought it was really awesome that when a girl who was crowd-surfing made her way to the front - without security noticing to catch her - that Tim McTague (Underoath's lead guitarist), noticed her, stopped playing, jumped down from the stage and caught her!
How cool is that!
Sure security made it there to help just as Tim caught the girl, but that was .... well ... AMAZING he did that!
It was such a great and exciting time, that I nearly passed out twice - probably from dehydration.
The first time was right before Underoath started playing right at the end of Saosin's set... I had to get out of the crowd up in the front and get some water and a breather at the bar.
In fact as I was pushing my way out of the crowd my vision was all fuzzy and stuff, and when I was at the bar I had to forcibly keep myself from throwing-up a few times!
The second time I almost passed out, was at the end of Underoath's set, after the "one more song" chant...
Where in fact Underoath played two songs because it had been so long since they were last around.
Keith had to get security's attention to pull me up and out from behind the crowd-control-barrier right when Underoath was playing their very last song.
I wasn't feeling as terrible as I did the first time, but I didn't want to push myself into something that could've been terrible!
Despite all the drama that I encountered it definitely was well worth it all to see Underoath and these bands play!!
So go and see Underoath when they're near you next time and drink plenty of water before the concert - you'll need it!!
