Underoath concert

So glad I got to see Underoath. One more thing to check off the bucketlist.
Overall, the concert was pretty amazing. As cities burn, Me without you and Letlive. opened the show, and to be honest I was just waiting for them to finish playing so that UO could start. The opening acts, to me, seemed pretty pretty generic. The exception to that would be Me without you, they did a folky-rock-thing with a bit of screaming, an accordion, some bongos, and some weird dancing and hand movements that made me think of Thom Yorke of Radiohead. Kinda like Mumford and sons crossed with The killers and The almost.. I guess.

Underoath did a fourteen song set, and a three song encore. No disappointment there. Lots of songs from albums dating back to like 2005 like "They're only chasing safety", no complaints about that either. Overall they just killed it and it's saddening to know that they're finished. The only thing that bugged me a bit was that at some points, the guitar was just kindof.. muddy. Hard to enjoy the good lead riffs when you can't hear them over the drums, rhythm and bass.

Also it would have been nice if Aaron gillespie was there.. just saying.

Oh yeah, my friend and I wore morphsuits to the show, mine red, his white. We definitely drew a lot of attention, got in trouble with some security, and I got my butt grabbed a couple times while wearing it by some girls that obviously don't understand physical boundaries with strangers. But more or less, good times. My neck still hurts a lot. I think I might be getting old.

We got lost on the way back from the concert and wound up almost getting arrested for driving infractions on the one way streets of toronto, like 9 times. They really need to mark those things better. Maybe set up a booth or something to inform the people that don't live in Toronto that they are LITERALLY EVERYWHERE and sometimes just to make your day suck a bit more there are some streets that you can only turn onto BETWEEN 4 AND 6 PM OR SOMETHING.

I MEAN REALLY TORONTO IS THAT EVEN NECESSARY
