Concert Two ~ The Casualties & L.o.C.

3 comments Posted by WarriorHeartGypsySoul at 7/01/2009

Concert two of the summer tour can definitely be considered an adventure.  We left about 2pm and headed for Chicago, but about half way there my oil pressure light came on.  We pulled into a gas station and after some mad panic on my part, we determined that there was nothing wrong as all the other gauges were good and there was plenty of oil.  Needless to say I spent the rest of the drive there and back staring at that damn little light.  I learned this morning, that it was simply because the service people forgot to reset my oil change counter after my last oil change!

The Casualties and Left Over Crack played at Metro in downtown Chicago.  As usual, The Casualties were great, but I was really surprised they weren't the headlining band since I had only heard a little about Leftover Crack.  As soon as L.oC. stepped on stage, I saw why they were headlining this show.  They are one of those bands you have to see in person because the energy they give and crowd interaction is pretty amazing.  We stood on the balcony and watched an amazing mosh pit go strong for both bands' sets.

Well, that's all for now.  Honestly I am too tired to even think of anything else right now.  Just have to get through work today and get some sleep tonight.

Here's some pics from last night's show...

Concert One ~ Offspring & DKM

2 comments Posted by WarriorHeartGypsySoul at 6/29/2009

My summer tour officially started Saturday with the Offspring and Dropkick Murphys concert at White River Park here in Indy. All I can say is WOW!!! This may have been the best concert I have ever been to in my life!

Dropkick Murphys play the most energetic and crowd pleasing show of any band I have ever seen.  And the legendary Offspring were everything you would expect them to be.  The mosh pit was alive and well and the whole crowd sung along to most of the songs.

I had the absolute privilege of getting to watch part of the Offspring set on stage next to the sound guy thanks to a great friend who managed to score us backstage passes.  Seeing the view of the crowd from the stage is truly an overwhelming feeling. 

This was just the first show of the tour and it has already passed my expectations.  I can't wait for the rest of the summer!!!
