Last night me, Michelle, Eliza and Chuck went to the well-anticipated Dashboard Confessional concert in Orem. We bought these tickets a month or so ago as a birthday gift to Eliza, who LOVES Dahsboard and has been a fan for years and years. Brand New Opened for them which I was initially really excited about, but actually quite disappointed after their set. It was a little too head-banging for me. They sound much better on their albums than they do live, which is sad.
Dashboard was unreal. I wasn't expecting Chris Carraba to be as good an entertainer as he was but dude, go see Dashboard Confessional if you can. He sounded amazing and not all all off pitch or whiney, which I was afaid he might. The guy has this awesome way of getting everyone involved with the show. You can't help but follow him wherever he goes, back and forth, up and down the stage, which was amazing by the way. Such a creative set design. The backdrop was this cool windowed wall thing with huge red velvet curtains drapped along it. These huge paper lanterns hung from the ceiling, changing colors throughout each song. It was so cool. Dashboard played a great variety of new and old stuff, which was nice. After they ended their set, they came back out and encored Vindicated and Hand Down which are two of my favorite Dashboard songs. The encore was so fun. They just kept going and going - he even said he didn't want to leave. It was a great show, one the best I have ever been to. There's just something about going to a live concert. Nothing beats it.
We had a blast.

I am buying tickets to all american rejects this next week I think. I will think about imogen heap... we'll see how much money I have. I would love to see her too. And as I said I do believe that going to concerts is one of my favorite things to do.
