Fall Out Boy- Typical pop/punk band. Reminds me of New Found Glory and Sugarcult. I like both of those bands, the reason they were playing is they are on LTJ's label "Fueled By Ramen." I thought that they were ok, their songs sounded ok. Lots of energy.

Yellowcard- I never really got into Yellowcard. The only song of theirs I really know is "Way Away," from Madden 2004. I thought they had a lot of energy, which was a theme for the night. I know a lot of people like Yellowcard, but I really don't. Again, I think a lot of people started listening to pop/punk, but there are so many bands out there that sound the same, and though I don't like Yellowcard, I'll give them credit for at least being original.

Less Than Jake- First off, I have to say that I am really bias, LTJ is my favorite band EVER. This is the 9th time I've seen them. I was really looking forward to hearing more of the new songs of Anthem. They opened with "Welcome to the New South," and then played "The Ghosts of Me and You." I was hoping they would open with "WttNS." They hit a lot of favorites, particularly my favorite song by them, "Scott Farcus Takes It On the Chin." The only notable songs left out were "Automatic," and "Al's War." Both of which are normally staples of an LTJ set. Nonetheless, these guys never fail to impress me with the way the work the crowd into a frenzy. The finished with "Screws Fall In, Screws Fall Out." Which started with Chris and an acoustic guitar solo on stage, then he was joined by the other members. All in all, awesome show by LTJ. I LOVE THAT BAND!
