For both of our birthdays Jason and I went to see Third Eye Blind in concert last night. They are one of our favorite bands from the 90's and we were way excited to see that they were coming here! It was at Marquee Theater which is standing room only which was great because we got way close. We were only 2 people away from the barrier gate, dead center. The place was packed and I was suprised to see how many hardcore 3eb fans there still are! They have a new cd coming out in august- 6 years after their last- and I can't wait!
The one thing that bothers both Jason and I about concerts-especially with huge bands like them- is when the audience feels that they need to sing along. I come to concerts to hear the band alone and not everyone else! Sometimes it is so loud that it overpowers the singer. I know that the bands probably like it though because it gives them support, and I'm sure they get tired of singing their songs themselves- but I think it is very annoying. They can sing along in their car. What is worse is when the singer puts the microphone out to the audience to sing part of the chorus- and sometimes the whole thing! I've actually seen that before at the Goo Goo Dolls concert where they had the audience sing every chorus of Iris.. It made me so mad! We think its because either their voices need a break, they can't hit those notes live, or they are sick of singing it. There was a lot of singing along at this concert but it was bearable at least. I really wonder if anyone else feels this way or if its just us??
I love how stephen jenkins was barefoot
