11/14 -- Moneen, Taking Back Sunday and Saves The Day -- Philly

[Lifeangel]

Moneen was pretty good. I had only heard a few of their songs before I saw them and I was still half asleep but they woke me up and I definatly think I'm going to listen to them more now.

Taking Back Sunday was AMAZING. I had seen them once before on the Warped Tour in Camden, and they were good then but being inside and in a small place like the Electric Factory was a million times better. During the last song, Adam got up on the ledge of the second floor where the bar is. He just went along slowly, singing the entire way (the song was "No I in Team") and he stopped about 10 feet away from where we were standing and put his one leg into the gap of the guardrail and put his other leg over the top, and hung upside down with the mic cord around his neck and sang. (Yes, I know he does this all the time but I had never seen it before and it was kind of a "you gotta see it to really believe it" thing in my mind.)

Saves the Day was good...They were alot more laid back in comparison to Taking Back Sunday's set (so it was like Moneen woke me up, Taking Back Sunday got me hyper...and Saves the Day relaxed me)...Their set seemed really short and the original song they ended with wasn't one that everyone really knew...Then they came back out on stage and played three more songs, the last one being off of 'Stay What You Are' (I can't remember what song it was...but it really wasn't a good closing song.) I THINK it was 'This is Not an Exit' (I'm almost positive it was..)...But they were good...I would have liked to have been a little more awake when I left there though..oh well...

Did anyone go Saturday night???

I went to this show on Friday, 11/20...

Moneen - WOW, so much energy. They were somewhat sloppy but they made up for it with the amount of energy they showed on stage.

Taking Back Sunday - Not as sloppy as Moneen, although not quite as energetic. They put on a great show. My only criticism was the fact that Adam could not seem to hit many notes; he let the crowd sing on any high notes and on songs like "There's No I in Team" he sang and octave lower on the chorus. On the other hand, Fred sounded very good....much, much better than I was expecting.

Saves The Day - I wasn't expecting a ton from STD since I am not a huge fan...but...wow. They were, by far, the best band of the night. They hit every note, beat, melody, etc. perfectly for all 17 songs of their set. They even did a great cover of Outkast's "Hey Ya." On top of that, TBS and Moneen came out on stage for a nice game of football while STD was playing. Also, during the cover of "Hey Ya" the lead singer for Moneen ran out on stage with a pink girl's tank-top on a pink girl's panties. Hard to explain, but very fun.
