Oh..My...God...
It was one hell of a concert! The opening band was Pygmy Love Circus, for those who don't know it is Danny Carey's band (Danny Carey is the drummer for Tool.. Maynard is the singer). They were pretty good I hadn't really heard much of there music until tonight and well they put on a pretty good opening act. Now the main attraction...
The lights went black and the crowd cheered. Moments later the stage lit up and there was Billy(guitar) and Jeordie(bass) in the front, Josh(drums) and James(guitar) in the back and in the centre a large stand with walls of fabric and a giant white circle on it. As the music played and the vocals began lights shined through the fabric on the stand and Maynard's silhouette became visible through the white circle. By the second song the fabric dropped and the entire audience was standing. Maynard stayed on that stand for the rest of the time and shortly after the second song James sang a simple little song about Vancouver, the bands way to try and make the crowd sit. They put on an amazing performance, playing lots of their new songs off of "The Thirteenth Step", their newest album coming out Septemeber 16th. The band is excellent live and if you ever get the chance, I would definately recommend going to see them... of course this is only if you like their form of the rock genre.
Afterwards Danny Carey was found signing autographs. We went to get our ticket stubs signed when the man at the stand said he could only sign purchased items. I bothered not to but my friend decided if he couldn't get an autograph he would get a handshake, so he said hi to Danny and we all left.
All in all I had a really good time. APC rocks and now I ge tto look forawrd to Radiohead:D
