Concert... Again!
Thursday, September 22
Went to another concert on Thursday night. Went to the Beaumont Club with my girlfriend and two of my friends Eric and Greg to see Smile Empty Soul, Cold, and Crossfade.
It had been a while since I was last in the Beaumont Club, or in a setting like that for a concert even. So I got to once again experience the compact feeling of being squished by my fellow human beings, watch some of them form mosh pits, and help crowd surfers on their merry way. And did I mention the heat and the sweat? But it was fun.
Smile Empty Soul is a band I like. I used to listen to their album a lot when it came out, so I was psyched to see them. I think out of the four I was the only one interested in seeing them. Their performance was ok, not great, and so we made way to Cold. Now Cold was the star of the show. They kicked ass. This was the band with the most albums under their belt, and they knew how to play a concert. Their stage show was nicely done. Another stage change later we have the headliner: Crossfade. The crowd was really crazy for this band. Personally, I only really dug like four songs from their album, but as they played, realized I must have listened to a lot of the album to recognize a lot of what they were playing. They weren't as good as Cold though, they were louder though. I think they cranked the dial a bit. My ears are still ringing.
No more concerts for a while. Time to cool down. And the worst part? Disturbed is coming in November. DAMN!
