So bookworm31 and I went to a Nickelback concert yesterday with special guests Saving Abel, Papa Roach, and Hinder. I have never seen a better show. I can't even describe how it made me feel to hear all of them live. Saving Abel came on first and started with New Tattoo. Not a song I know very well but the vocals of this band are extraordinary. The songs sounded the same as they do on their album, only I thought their voices were actually stronger. They played all my favorites. 18 Days, Drowning (face down), and Addicted. They were my personal favorite for the opening bands. It rained pretty hard so at this point the place was still empty. Papa Roach came next and there were a few more people in the audience, though it still wasn't full. My dad didn't like him at all because he's not a fan of his type of music. He played Scars and Lifeline which made my bffl and I very happy. These guys reeeally worked the stage too. They came out into the audience and ran all over the place. Lastly was Hinder. They also sounded like their albums. They entered playing Use Me and gave a great show. They also played Better Than Me and Lips of an Angel so our favorites were covered. They left and we waited to hear Nickelback. They came on around 9. Big entrance, sparks, booms, and fire. This band is already one of my favorites, but I love them even more after that preformance. Chad Kroeger as well as the rest of the band, got soooo into the show, and were pretty hilarious. They also brought a surprise to the stage. They had a jam session with the lead singers of all 3 opening bands, and a special gues, the singer from ACDC. They rocked the song Highway to Hell. They then continued the show with songs from their first album all the way to their newest, Dark Horse, talking to the audience and just having a great time. They all cleared the stage after a bit except for the drummer, and the drummer played an epic beat for 5 minutes straight. He was so intense and had great arm muscles hehehe. Also by the time Nickelback came on, the place was packed. we looked back at the lawn (because we got the upgrades thank goodness) and they were squished together like sardines. Every seat around us was filled as well. They finished the show and we sang along with every song. So now I have tons of videos, and no voice, proof of an excellent show. The best I'll ever hope to see.
