It was a whole day concert, but I was only able to go for Emmet's
set. The show itself rocked. The guys did a great job. I got there
a couple minutes late, but people said that it was still the first
song. =) Then, they kept having difficulties with the sound but
the guys seemed amused and with a few minutes of silence, they kept
on playing and laughing at the situation. The crowd was pretty
good, a lot of them sang along to most the songs, but it was a frat
party, so there was a lot of beer being thrown and dumb stuff like
that--and this girl kept screaming, "yea! Adam!" I didn't know if
she thought there was someone in the band named Adam or if she was
screaming for one of the frat guys. It was so weird. During Hey
Jesse, Derrick went on a mad drum solo and the rest of the band
STILL seemed impressed. =) Another highlight was the long intro to
Arlington. Erik did a cool guitar riff that really added to the
song in my opinion. So, overall, a great show by Emmet, but my
experience was tarnished slightly by the lack of working equipment
and some drunk frat guys.
