I'm from Nashville, TN and I traveled all the way to Columbia, MO to see this show, and I was anything but disappointed. The Blue Note was the gorgeous and the perfect size for this crowd, there was plenty of floor room, and that's where the party really is anyway. This just happened to be the best party ever.
The first band, A New Revolution, was WILD! They were really intense and really got the crowd going. The second band, Since October, had a clear following at this show, and were a lot of fun. Their outfits were funky and their music was exciting.
Then it was 10 freakin Years -which is what made me come to the show in the first place. They absolutely KILLED IT, like "impressive" or "amazing" or even "incredible" don't seem to be adequate enough to describe them. The only problem was that you couldn't really hear Jesse sing, not that you really needed to, almost everyone in there knew every word to every song anyway. But Matt, the new drummer, was a lot of fun to watch, Brian was great, Tater as always, was hilarious and Lewis brought the energy, and Jesse got all in our faces and that's always exciting. 10 Years was, like always, "impress-azing-edible" or just perfect.
And last but never least was theeee Sevendust. From the second they walked out onto the stage, they were thrilling. They played a great mix of songs from all of their albums, not just the new stuff, which was awesome for their older fans and straight up fun for their newer fans. They are masters of the crowd. Lajon is so much fun to watch, and really makes the show personal for people. Vinnie was crazy to watch and just all over the place. Clint is just phenomenal and was precious with his wife and family there. Morgan was, as always, intense and incredibly talented. And John had some mad jumps!
Really, this show couldn't have been any better. It was fabulous.
