It was great, so I have only two complaints. First one was daylight during the whole concert (but due to the venue restrictions they had to finish till 10PM), second one that they skipped Darts this time.

After we’ve all seen that RaR proshot, I can’t really say anything new. Mood on stage was great, they had fun and looked relaxed, they gathered three monkeys and Serj tied them together and threw em on John during FOREST (so John had a little trouble playing for a sec).

Our friend recorded the whole show (except for first 30 seconds I think) in HD from a good spot, so I guess you will have a chance to see and hear what we could. My mate D_M has already posted a teaser.

There were some interesting moments like Serj speaking about German use of alternative energy sources or dissing Turkish government, or Daron laughing at some guy who was crowdsurfing on the tribune. They both changed lyrics a few times, so yeah it was fun.

And how was my live experience? Well, I was on left front but that’s where I made mistake. Cause until SCIENCE, I tried to hold that position and it wasn’t very comfortable because of the pressure. So then I finally decided to move to a circle pit, which was a great call. For last 10 songs, I had so much fun and I could finally move quite a lot, jump and hustle and (in Daron’s words) GO CRAAAAZYYYYYY. I’m a fan of NYHC shows so this was just perfect. If I only knew what was going on in the centre, I’d be there from the very beginning. There was only one fight (and many people falling down), but still it went very smoothly and everybody had a good time.

But people on these first rows had to suffer quite a lot...

Anyway, the overall vibe was great, the crowd was singing immensely (the band mentioned it repeatedly), Dredg sucked, I met lots of friends (including jesus-bye-sky), we talked to John after the gig... He was the only one who came, but I can’t complain cause I understand that they have to be really exhausted from all the playing and traveling.

So I’d rate this grade A - wish I could see them again, without daylight and spend the whole set in the pit. Then it would be A+or A++

(I’ll upload some photos later - but I didn’t put much effort into it, cause I wanted to have the best possible live experience)

Ale tak zas můžeš říct, žes byl na SOAD v první lajně... To zas tolik lidí nezažije... Příště už víme...
