i went to the west virginia wesleyan show last night,
and i must admit i was somewhat disappointed. in some
ways, though, the crowd was more disappointing than
the band. i thought that since they were the
headliners that i would hear some more old vh...not
quite so. and the crowd didnt know a single word,
other than EYW. matt threw a couple audience
participation things into the mix, and unfortunately
they bombed because nobody knew any of the words! (not
even from the latest album) i was crushed into the
front with a mass of high school and college "kids"
who were more concerned about passing people overhead
and jumping up and down to songs like YAG. and on top
of that, the band was nowhere to be seen, at least
from what i could tell, after the show. so needless
to say, i never got to speak with them...c'est la vie,
i suppose. these are the sacrifices made to
popularity.
it was disappointing that the band had such freedom as
the headliners, and they were only on for 1 1/2 hours.
but i have to say i was happy that keith was given
almost "equal time."
