Well got there early, but apparently missed when the bands were signing stuff. (I assume it was the reason the concert started late) *Cries a moment* Totally sucks since No Address sucked. Breaking Benjamin was decent, my best friend was more excited about that than me. Ahh, then Staind came out...I almost cried when they walked out on stage.

They played a song or two, can't remember when exactly but Aaron kinda stopped and looked at the crowd and said "This is a rock concert isn't it? Why are you all sitting? Stand the F up!" or something like that. Most everyone promptly stood and rocked, crowd sang the chorus for Outside. Just demonstrated to me how the 3DD fans are sissies cus they just sat around and didnt seem very excited. I was soo pumped, I jumped like hell during Mudshovel. Had my lighter out during little bit of Outside and most of It's Been Awhile. He also changed part of the last verse of It's Been Awhile, with "it's been awhile since i said "F you!" again. Anyone think he might be a bit pissed at his wife? Or that they're having problems, cus from some of the songs on the new album I just seem to get that impresson. And part of It's Been Awhile is about his wife. *Hopes they're doin' okay*

This was my first Staind concert and I still love 'em, wish I could have met 'em and stuff, and congratulate Aaron on his new daughter, but as I see it it just gives me more reason to see them again when they're the ones headlining. Me and my friend got up and walked out after Staind's set and hung around a bit before we went home. They were without a doubt the best performers there, they still put on a show, but I suspect if they were headlining it'd be a hundred times better.

The set list so far as I can remember it was:

For You
Crawl
So Far Away
Epiphany
Falling
Outside
Paper Jesus
It's Been Awhile
Mudshovel

There was also a cover song he did somewhere in the middle, but I don't know the name.

Kick ass show, hope to see 'em again. This time I wanna meet the band! Waaaa! Better luck next time I hope. Will totally buy Chapter V (actually I'm getting 2 copies, concert preorder and then one at the store...and hoping to get the extra tracks from the imports somewhere...*sighs* *crosses fingers that they show up as a torrent*)

Just a little remark on 3DD I have seen them twice in The Netherlands now and their Fans in Europe are crazy like hell, we jump we push we rock the f* outta the place! Never seen Staind in concert, unfortunally, but I know 3DD gives away great concerts (at least they do in Europe)

he changes up the lyrics a lot. Sometimes to fuck off and sometimes to fuck you. I've heard him sing outside and instead of singing "but i waste more time than anyone" he changes it to "but i smoke more weed than anyone" kinda funny

p.s. that cover is Alice In Chains' "Nutshell"

And I Forgot they played Yesterday somewhere in there too...such a blur should have scribbled abbreviated song titles on my hand to keep it all straight...with i could remember....
