Ok folks, first things first, everyone sit down before I tell you this, because its BIG news. I mean BIG news. Usually life is just a series of days strung together that are all sort of the same and generally very boring 
But TODAY! Today my friends is a different story! I was front row, in front of Mark Tremonti the whole show, and right at the end, he threw a pick and it went straight to my hand! STRAIGHT TO MY HAND I TELL YOU! Like it was on a string or something. I now have a good luck charm around my neck, so ladies, look out because one rub and you are powerless to resist me now
He plays Dunlop 1mm picks for those who care (i.e. noone!)
Anyway, onto the concert, the funniest thing was the band they got to replace Sevendust was bad, and before they started everyone was swearing at them and telling them to get off, and wondering what happened to Sevendust (one of the band members mother died so they didnt come). Then every time a song would end, everyone would start a chant for Sevendust, and when he tried talking to the crowd it didnt work either, Ill give you an example:
Singer says "this next song is called runaway"
Someone in the crowd says "I wish you would run off stage, you suck!"
Cue crowd laughing themselves stupid.
That was one of the nice ones, I heard swear words used that would have made a sailor blush.
Also worthy of note was when they announced this was their last song, everyone cheered really loudly and swore at them some more
I almost felt sorry for them, but they really had no business sharing a stage with Creed, I can tell you that, but it was good for a laugh if nothing else So anyway, Crash Palace werent very good, I didnt yell at them or anything, I was too busy yawning as it had been a long day for poor little Spawny.
Then Creed came on, and all was made right with the world for 2 hours They had loads of fireworks and flash pots and everything, Troops would have been in absolute heaven, it was like a glam rock arena 80s show!
But the best part was the crowd was singing along like crazy to most of the songs, and as a few of you know, I love that on bootlegs, and its even more fun when you are there
Highlights were:
With Arms Wide Open, you couldnt even hear Scotts voice over the crowd on this one, twas great! I dont care if its sappy, it was totally brilliant!
My Sacrifice, same reason, plus its just a great song and loads of fireworks went off because it was the last song.
Whats This Life For, at the end part, this big waterfall of sparks came out of the lights for the whole outro, it looked awesome, plus its one of my favourite songs ever
What If, when it kicked in with the heavy part everyone went nuts, it was cool.
Torn, this song just rocks.
Bullets, even heavier live, and everyone was going "Look at me" so loud you couldnt hear the band, I laughed in between singing It was the first song and a very good opener.
Higher, this one came on after lullaby, so everyone was happy they could finally wake up, that is to say, it was good, but we wanted to rock dammit
Hide, everyone I know who has the album loves this song and it seemed like everyone there did too, we all sung along too of course.
One Last Breath, probably my favourite track from Weathered and because its so quiet at the start all you could hear was the guitar occasionally and our voices. As Ronnie James Dio said, we rock.
Ok, thats a lot of highlights, but I had lots of fun
Only "bad" parts were that they did nearly every song off Weathered and I would have preferred other stuff in place of Lullaby, Freedom Fighter, Children Dont Stop Dancing and Weathered, but you cant win them all, and complaining just feels mean after such a good show.
God this is long, did anyone honestly read all of it? Dont feel bad, I would have skipped most of it, especially knowing what my posts are like sometimes
Did I mention I got Mark Tremontis pick?
Anyway, when I walked out I felt really depressed because I was having so much fun and now I have to go back to real life, but thats the sign of a good show isnt it? Creed rock, and you all missed a great show. Unless you went.
