First of all, that was my sixth and most amazing show I have attended thus far. We were fifth row center! I'm pretty blown away still, and it's late, so forgive some mispellings. Here we go!

Seek Up: I had predicted it on the way to the venue, and was I happy to see it. Awesome song, Jeff tore it up. Dave looked happy to be back home, and we were all happy to have him. His voice sounded really awesome too! Solid version.

One Sweet World: Standard version, an enjoyable song and a nice start to the evening, put everyone in a good mood.

So Damn Lucky: Dave explained before the song that Roi was gonna be OK, and then busted into this song. The jam was downright awesome, with Tim rockin it. Great version, I'd check it out.

**It was about here some of the Halloween chants started(little did we know it was on the setlist, lol). We had all planned to bring signs and do it during the encore break, but it started here, and out came the Halloween signs. We had a big orange one:)**

PNP->Rap: Didnt really see it coming, but it was awesome. I think Dave actually hit the notes in PNP and in Rap. Awesome song(although the drunk ugly chick next to me was rubbing against me, I wanted to puke)

**Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! the chants continue!**

Crash: Standard version, crowd dug it, dixie chicken, what else is there to say?

**Halloween! The yells continued, lol**

Eh Hee: The least enjoyable part of the night for me. I just don't realy like this song. The ending is decent but the rest, I'm just not into...

**Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!**

Burning Down the House: Awesome cover, crowd really loved it, the energy was flowing high! Everyone was havin a good time(except the girl in front of me who puked)

Proudest Monkey: Dave's voice was a little rough, but awesome song. Lots of people were talkin during it which pissed me off. We knew next was...

Satellite: First time hearing it live, Dave's voice was good, crowd dug it, and we were all happy!

**Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**

Everyday Fake: Alright, we continued to wave our sign and once everyday started, we put the sign even higher! I know its a jackass move, but I was yellin for Halloween during the intro...I wanted it soooo bad! Dave gave the orchestra a funny smirk and looked over at the Halloween signs. It seemed the band was toying with us, as we all kept waiting and waiting, and the drums would not kick in. We were either in Halloween Heaven or Everyday Hell....

Halloween: It was heaven! Carter nailed the drums, I threw the sign down and jumped around, and Stefan smiled at all the excitement. It looked like during the ED intro, Rashawn was explaining to Jeff what the fuss was all about. And so we got it. IT was hard to understand Dave with all the yelling around, but it was awesome, the ending was nailed and we were all left in astonishment....

Water/Wine: I was still in shock to remember all of this. It was really quiet and hard to hear at times, but still a classic gem. The parts I did hear sounded really cool.

You Might Die Trying: Normally, I would be pissed, but I was still coming off the Halloween high. Song sounded tight, ending jam was awesome, good version.

Sledgehammer: My fav cover this year, awesome job at it, the boys were on and the crowd dug it. The energy up to this point was just downright insane. Good crowd in Orch 2!!!!!

#41: This show was just gettin better and better! Dave's voice sounded awesome considering the circumstances, and he even hit some of the falsettos. Then the jam was just insanse, Coffin and Carter crushed it completely...you have to check it out.

Ants: I heard Carter counting into something at the end of 41, and the segue into ants was just awesome. Great way to close an amazing set.

I took a seat during the break and pondered what lied ahead...the show had been so amazing so far....I just couldnt wait.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Dont Drink: Lots of people were throwing stuff on stage before the song, which I thought was funny. This came out of nowhere, totally unexpected spot, and it was awesome. The crowd loved it, I though the energy was gonna drive Virginia off the face of the earth.

The Bridge: It was a quicker intro than usual. I was happy bc I though DDTW may close the show, but it didn't, and Dave didn't have an electric in his hand.

Fake Too Much: Cool.....I could have bet my life Stay was coming

Billies: Holy fuck! What a way to end it. "We're wearing nothing, nothing but our shadows falling down on the BEACH SAND" Great way to end a truely amazing set. The ending jam was off the hook, and the crowd was blown away by the end.




Overall, a truely amazing show. We had great seats, Orch 2, Row E, seats 15 and 16, and the band delivered for the homestate in a huge way. One of the best nights of my life, I will never forget it.....Halloween!!!!!!!!!! lol Im so giddy and blown away right now...this feeling will last for a long time! lol. Great way to end my tour season! Goodnight guys!

As a fellow Ant who heard ED-->Halloween at Riverbend, I am stoked for you! I did the same thing, jumping around like a little kid! What a surprise and shock!

Sounds like a great encore! That feeling will last a long time!

Peace and Love

hahah Chad everyone around me in the 200 section thought I was retarded.

during the Everyday intro...I was going crazy because I knew the chances of us getting Halloween! haha I saw all the Halloween posters down below and I knew...there are my fellow ants hahaha

They were fooling with us so much during Everyday..much longer than Riverbend..and I was just praying..the dude behind was an ant too, so we were going crazy!!!

Nice review. I feel the same way about all the songs.

Had a fucking blast last night. It was nice seeing the mix of hardcore fans freaking out and the regular fans going "huh?" during Halloween.
