Coheed and Cambria, Pt II
It started with a dude on the stage with a guitar, and he rocked multiple socks.
Then there were six dudes on the stage, and except for the keyboard played who rocked out hardcore (and didn't play keyboard at all) through the whole set, the sucked it up large. Not a single sock was rocked... Except maybe the keyboardist's.
And thus were the open acts. 3 was unable to make it across the border for the most part, hence the solo act (but still a good act). Underoath sucked. Sucked large. Sucked so much, in fact, that the one person in the place who liked them kept yelling out a name of a song and they didn't play it. Jerks.
Then, there were roadies.
After that, there was darkness. And cheering, because darkness means only one thing...
They're Coming...
The voice of Samuel L. Jackson pumps out of the bank of speakers ... "I almost gave up hope..." The infamous speech from the end of Unbreakable "... they're usually friends, David! Just like you and me!"
And then...
CLAUDIO!!!! scream the masses. His hair takes up what seems like half the stage
Travis Micheal and Joshua are not so far behind. They take up their positions, and after a breif nod to one another, they bust into Three Evils. And it rocked. And there was rocking out.
Before the night was over, they played Blood Red Summer, the entire Camper Velorium trilogy, Neverender, Devil in Jersey City, A Favour House Atlantic, The Crowing...
And then, they left the stage. Anticipating the encore, I wished for In Keeping Secrets of a Silent Earth: 3 . It didn't come. Instead, there was The Light & The Glass, which really was a close second. Claudio let the crowd sing a number of parts, but we missed our que on "You're father's dead he passed in his sleep!" ... But oh, he made us sing it the next time, he made us. The song was so intense and so worthy an encore that I couldn't complain. They polished it off, and I was prepared to go when....
Rinnnggg.... Rinnnggg
I thought My voice was dead after The Camper Velorium III: Al The Killer ("Let this colony know, in the name of the dead, we're coming!" screamed a whole bunch) But no, I found new energey. I knew that ring. I knew it all too well... Coheed and Cambria closed with In Keeping Secrets of a Silent Earth: 3. It was so huge, I can't even being to describe it properly.
Coheed totally made up for that crappy assed opening act.
