As I Lay Dying was the highlight
by AnodyneMaus on 8/1/10The Palladium Ballroom - DallasThe Cool Tour was, overall, a great show. However, there was one incredibly annoying thing: 1) The Acacia Strain is officially an absurd band. They ended their set early after alleging a quarter had been thrown onto the stage during their set. Now, I agree that throwing stuff at a band is not something any decent person would do, but, the Acacia Strain's vulgarity-filled threats to the crowd and early departure were incredibly unprofessional and immature. This caused the rest of the bands' set times to get skewed a bit. Basically, they damaged the concert for their fellow bands. Other than that, the bands sounded great. BlesstheFall, Underoath, BTBAM, and AILD all put on great shows and sounded fantastic live.
