Vans Warped Tour - July 26th, 2005 @ Darien Lake PAC, Buffalo NY
Here is a short review of my top five performances from this years Warped Tour.
5.
Hawthorne Heights - They were the second band of the day to play, and they did a great job of getting the crowd pumped up. They were energetic, and got a great response from the crowd.
Favorite Songs: "Niki FM", "Silver Bullet"
4.
Fall Out Boy - They had by far the largest crowd of any of the bands that I saw. They had a ton of energy, and put on a great show. They also achieved the largest mosh pit of any band I saw when they played "Saturday" to close out their set.
Favorite Songs: "Saturday", "I Slept With Someone in Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me"
3.
The Starting Line - For some reason, a lot of people left after Fall Out Boy, and didn't hang around for TSL. However, the people who hung around were not dissapointed. TSL put on an amazing show and kept the crowd moving, while playing a good mix of old and new music.
Favorite Songs: "Surprise Surprise", "Best of Me"
2.
Saosin - These guys were really impressive. I had never really listen to them before, but they put on a tremedous show. A lot of people seemed to not know who they were, as they were an unexpected addition to the main stage (as was Hawthorne Heights), but they got a great reception.
Favorite Songs: "Seven Years", "Translating the Name"
1.
Senses Fail - These guys were absolutely incredible. The crowd was so pumped up throughout their whole set. There was non-stop moshing, crowd surfing, and jumping the whole time. They were energetic, exciting, and easily the most fun band of the night.
Favorite Songs: "Lady in the Blue Dress", "Stephen"
Oh, and if your wondering why Thrice didn't make the top five, it's because a thunderstorm ended their set after just 5 minutes, and they never came back on.
