WORTH THE WAIT.

The last time I saw these guys was in November, and that was amazing, but its even safe to say that Big Wreck Rocks more than EVER.

My Review:

LEFT PENCY
These guys kick ass. They were REALLY good. Alot of influences present in some of their songs [sang a bit like Scott Stapp of Creed in some parts of a song, did a cool little Incubus speed singing...]. In my overall band to compare to, I'd say Finger 11 [And thats a GOOD thing]. They have a very good energy level, and play very well live. I'd buy their CD.

THE FULL NINE
I saw these guys in Sheridan with BW last fall, and I couldn't listen to them, this time I gave them a chance, and I still didn't like what I heard. The bass player was fun to watch. They had a good energy but the audience wasn't to fond of their stuff.

BIG WRECK
Guys came out @ 11 and the crowd went crazy.
The setlist is almost identical to the Barrymore show, I couldn't list all of the intros but here ya go.
Intro into Inhale [it's the Usual intro, but I forgot the name]
Holiday into Look What I found
She Sell Sanctuary into That Song
Me & Mr Blue into Knee Deep
Breakthrough
Blown Wide Open
Under The Lighthouse
Intro [Boyu... ????]
How Would You Know/ If I Had My Way
Mistake
Another Brick in the Wall to Ladylike
Overemphasizing [So Amazing, Highlight song]

Encore 1
Undersold
Oaf/ [?]

Encore 2
Intro [?]
Head In The Girl/ [?]

Ian was all happy to be home and the fact that the leafs won 3-1. His requests for the Disco ball to turn on were satisfied and he smiled like a litte boy on Christmas Day and flailed his arms in the air.

NOTE I TOOK PICTURES , and theres one of the Disco ball, for Ian, 8x10 sound good?

"How about the Full 9? What's the 9 supposed to be... The Full 9 yards? It's Rock and Roll, maybe its 'Inches'" Ian. "Only Dave is bold enough to grow a Mullet in this day of age" Ian.

Hey did anyone notice that Dave's neck wasn't so rubbery? Ahhh well he played well and was still fun to watch.

Well that's my review and I hope you liked it.
