They played January 1979, Torches Together, Paper Hanger, Tie Me Up! Untie Me!, some other songs I can't remember the title of (one of them was the "grape on the vine" song), and Four Word Letter Part Two. So, mostly stuff from Catch For Us the Foxes. At one point Aaron Weiss was banging on a pot with some drumsticks. XD
Next was Dredg. I was really pleasantly surprised by their vocalist-- he did a fantastic job and the songs weren't bad either. So pretty soon I'm gonna check their music out.
After Dredg was Blood Brothers, so we went outside for a while. Not to mention it was getting pretty smoky in there, and Brad, being asthmatic, was having a hard time. While we were out there, I saw Aaron Weiss standing around talking to some people. I was literally like ten feet away from him but I was too nervous to approach him and meet him. :\
Now. I will say with all honesty that Blood Brothers is a terrible band. I mean, the music had no melody, no real composition, and there was very, very little actual singing, even with two lead "vocalists"! I suppose they were good live if you like that kind of thing, but I definitely don't and neither does Brad, so it was a mistake for us to go back inside before their set was over. I thought my ears were gonna start bleeding. It all sounded like one excruciatingly long-winded, dissonant excuse for a song.
So after the Blood Brothers played for what seemed like 15 hours, we stood around and waited through forty more minutes of toxic smoke, extremely sore feet and very rude teenagers for what we came to see: Coheed and Cambria. And I'm telling you, it was worth all the crap we went through. Even though I could only see Travis and an occasional glimpse of Claudio's head/hair/face, it was FREAKING AWESOME. Oh man do they sound good live. From what I remember (not necessarily in this order) they played Always & Never (YAY), Welcome Home, Ten Speed, Once Upon Your Dead Body, The Writing Writer (what's the full title again?), Favor House, Blood Red Summer, Delirium Trigger, Three Evils.
Unfortunately, sometime during Three Evils we had to go outside because Brad was choking and my eyes felt like somebody poured lemon juice and salt in them, not to mention my feet were like "um okay we are tired of standing now". So we sat out front and listened to them play Wake Up, The Suffering, and Devil in Jersey City before we decided to just go back to the hotel room. Wake Up sounded awesome-- Claudio sang the first part of the song a capella.
Anyone else planning on catching this tour?
