Fucking awesome gig!

[thekidddd]

anyone agree that some of the audience ruined the gig?

[keppel7822]

How did the audience ruin the gig?

[thekidddd]

The downstairs kept moshing and everyone kept singing along to every song. I went to hear Brand New.

[itzfawkinsam]

if you want to hear brand new listen to their cd, if you want to enjoy the emotions of a show, go to it and move around don't stand there

[keppel7822]

Of course the downstairs kept moshing - thats why we all went to the gig - to dance and sing along. We didn't wanna just sit and watch Jesse and the rest perform, we wanted to enjoy it and be part of it. Like the guy below/above says - if you wanna listen you have a CD. Personally, I thought it was intensely amazing, the best gig I have ever been to - and the crowd added to that.

[thekidddd]

Thats fair enough.

[AlistairIsCool]

I agree there were moments when the crowd sang along when they shouldn't have, like the end of sowing season.

[martyntheguitarman]

was this your first real show? moshing and singing along is compulsory.

[rocket1039]

I can see both points of view. I mean we all went there to see Brand New right, not to listen to ourselves sing? And at one point I saw Jesse look at Vin like 'wtf' at the volume of the singing.

BUT the atmosphere in the pit was electric and I was singing along as loud as anyone! There was this awesome unity about it.

Maybe the answer is to just turn up the band even louder!

I've been to 2 other gigs.. Sigur Rós at Westminister Central Hall and The Roots at the HMV Forum (I know you can't really expect moshing to go on there lol) .. I have to admit this song was great with everyone singing along but there are some that I just really wanted to hear Jesse Sing .. I actually saw loads of people who were getting fed up of getting pushed so much that they couldnt enjoy the show.

[CarmenInWonderland]

Agreed, once you're in that atmostphere its kind of hard not to mosh and sing.
