Probably the least favorite one I went to this month, but a good show nonetheless.

From First To Last
Heh, when I heard they would be opening, I knew that they would be harrassed to say the least. Not the right venue at all. I don't like this band at all, but unlike others there, I had the common courtesy not to call them gay or fag or something like that. I thought they were alright live. And they dealt with the audience's comments very well in my opinion. After a bad response after one emo song, the vocalist said they would do it up more emo for the next song (which they did) since the audience enjoyed it so much. And on their last song, he said they had 15 more left, then all the drunk emo-haters went crazy and started screaming and it was pretty **** funny.

Rise Against
The main reason I came. They are one of my new favorite bands. I saw them at Warped Tour and this time around, their performance was a lot better. The vocalist actually played some guitar on a few songs this time around. They are excellent live and got the crowd going. The only complaint from me is that their set seemed really really short. I think it was considering the time alotted for Bad Religion which I will talk about............................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .........now

Bad Religion
These guys' set was 2 and a half hours long. I guess that's what you get when you see a band that has been around so long. First time I had ever seen them live and I was not disappointed. I never really got into Bad Religion, but seeing them live was something else. They covered their career pretty evenly I would say. Of course they played "LA is Burning" and a few other new ones, but they evened out their old stuff and their new.

All in all it was a pretty good show. I recommend it fully to fans of Rise Against or Bad Religion. From First to Last fans were singled out almost as much as the band itself, so I would wait for them to come around some other time.
