It was the best concert. Maybe not the best concert ever, but it was right up there. How could it not? 3 of my top 5 or 10 favorite bands were there. Everyone played a great set. I had no complaints about anyone. I didn't really like the 2 opening bands, but that's quite alright. the AKA's weren't really my kind of music, and Smoke or Fire got shafted by their unfortunate playing order: They went on right before the bands I wanted to see, and I ended up spacing out almost throughout their set. They weren't bad though.
Mark Unseen had no reason to fight anyone this time, and he played the songs he missed last time that I had really wanted to hear (except one). The Casualties killed as always, and I finally got to see Anti-Flag, who put on a fantastic show (even though by then we were all worn out). The venue was indeed too small for the crowd, but everyone behaved themselves, making it really easy to not hate them.
A highlight of the evening was not something the bands did...
When Anti-Flag came on stage, I got shunted over to a different place in the crowd, as always. It was a pretty safe area, and the people in front of me were short so I could see. The problem was, they were a bunch of little girls that wanted their own little pit away from the real one because they were sissies. So they were right in front of me and doing a borderline hippie-flail kind of dance and it was pissing me off. I kept shoving them off of me, and then they got into a mock fight with each other. One of the girls accidentally bashed her friend in the face so hard that they had to leave, and I laughed, because then they weren't in front of me anymore. It was glorious.
It was also great when most of the crowd was too stupid to know that Anti-Flag would do an encore and emptied the building by half. During the last three songs, I kind of felt overly isolated due to the thinning of the crowd, but I was still pretty happy about them being gone.
