concert count
#18: Alexisonfire (15-Dec-06) - Phoenix Concert Theatre
this was my 1st of 2 alexisonfire shows i'm going to, and it was great. granted, i got there late and missed part of the beginning, but i wasn't too concerned with that b/c i knew i'd be seeing them again in 2 days, so i'll just make sure i get there earlier.
it was a great show. lots of energy. also an all ages show, which meant all the kiddies were out in full force. i love seeing the kids sing and get so into the music and move their head to the beat. but i don't like the rowdy kids who think it's cool to act like they're still in the mosh pit when they're not.
aof played 'happiness by the kilowatt,' which is my favourite song from 'watch out!' but they didn't play 'rough hands,' which is my favourite song from the new album. or maybe they played it earlier and i missed it. who knows. i'll find out on sunday, i guess.
the show started super early, and i totally miscalculated how long the opening band would be on stage. hence, arriving late. so the show ended super early too. when it was all said and done, probably finished by 9:15 after the encore. we grabbed a drink after the show, and were out of there by 9:30. i got some half decent pictures with my phone, so when i figure out how to transfer them to my computer, i'll post them. and of course, i had to stand on the side of the stage that dallas is at. he was awesome. during one song he was singing, not playing at that moment, i don't want to say he was dancing b/c that probably wasn't his intention, but he just looked really cute b/c you could tell he was so into it and enjoyed performing so much.
they're also filming these 6 club shows they're doing in toronto for a dvd, so i can't wait for that to come out. even though i don't have many of those concert dvds, i would definitely get them for a show i was at.
a friend of mine came with me, and she does not like aof at all (she's a country fan), but she said she enjoyed the concert. she's still not going to run out and buy their cd, but it was better than she thought it would be. of course it was, i wouldn't expect anything less.
the venue was also really good. a smaller club, so it was easy to see. but lots of people, and lots of sweaty people, so that was gross. and the mosh pit was quite big for the space. i like seeing different venues i've never been to before.
great show. can't wait til sunday for the repeat.
