Philly 8/30

What a fucking blast man. Band seemed happy, aaron was interacting with the crowd like i have never seen before. I twittered myself the set list so i would have it. It is was as follows:

Spleen
Falling
Just Go
Everything Changes
This is It
Open Your eyes
This Love
Eruption
Suffocate
Right Here
All i want
So Far Away
For You

Then Aaron went to the sound tent in the middle of the crowd and played:

Outside
It's Been Awhile

Then he came back and they closed with (duh):

Mudshovel

Fucking rocking show

for the whole first half of this love i thought i was taping it on my camera. Held it up and had some great shots of aaron rite in front of mike where i was on the rail, only to realize that i never hit the goddamn record button! dammit!
Did anyone else think aaron took a bit of a shot at shinedown when he aplogized early on for not having any speaches prepared? i know they are friends and all, but during some of the long winded talks the lead singer of SD gave us, it did seem kind of redic.

Yeah, lets do it! next show in the area, let me know when ya'll meet up and i'm there.

Still can't get over when aaron came down to the rail during mudshovel and was sticking the mic into the crowd to sing along and shit. Not that it's anyhing ground breaking for a singer to do that, but I have never seen aaron do that, ever, during any of the 15 plus shows i've been too. Maybee cuz he lost all of that weight? haha

@rosie, i would def shake your hand or give a high five, hahahahaha that was pretty funny

That sucks that u had to deal with some assholes, can always ruin a show for you, i know i saw 311 and coheed at the Festival pier and both shows were ruined by idiots. I dont mind people moshing, as long as they dont force others around them to do it as well. If you wanna mosh with ur buddies that's cool, just dont fuck with me while you do it. I know where we were there was like no movement what so ever, which was cool, but a little pushin can be fun haha

Funny story from the show, right behind us on the left side (stage right side) there was a family of three, mom dad and their child who could not have been older than 8 years old. before staind came on we let the little dude up on the rail with my buddy joe behind him, and during the whole show this little 8 year old (who's name was aaron, hmmm?) had his rock horns in the air the whole time. During one of the songs aaron was walking over to our side and he saw the kid, smiled and gave him the horns back, then nodded at my buddy joe b.c. i think he thought it was his kid. The security gaurd came over with a guitar pic for the kid and asked my friend joe if it was the kid's first show, and he was like "i dont know, it's not my kid" hahahaha too funny!
