The concert at Selinsgrove was decent.  Greenwheel opened and their music was great, but I was surprised their lead singer never fell down and I swear that guy must be made of rubber he was so bendy. 
       When OLP came on the lights all went out and the lighting had them backlit so you couldn't see them the opening song - if you believe, but it made it more exciting.  The crowd there really was terrible.  I felt like apologizing to the band to make up for the rest of the crowd, because truthfully not a single person there minus me knew the opening song or anything else that wasn't from gravity.  I came early and had an easy time securing the coveted front center right at edge of stage spot, so I was completely absorbed into the music.  OLP did great, Steve went away at his guitar like it was the only thing in the world worth living for and kept up his awesome skill without a bit of encouragement from the audience, who all sat there during his solos and turned to each other and said "when does somewhere out there come on?"  No one there knew anyone's name except jeremy's so even once and a while you could hear a disgusting girly shriek yelling "jeremy jeremy jeremy!"  other than that, even the only people into it were the people who didn't know OLP at all, but just wanted to mosh.  I don't remember the order but they sang if you believe, right behind you, are you sad, the birdman, starseed, naveed, superman's dead, clumsy, one man army, is anybody home (with the long intro), all for you, do you like it, innocent, not enough, and bring back the sun.  then in repair, somewhere out there, and 4am were the encore.  Which only came abotu by miracle of me turning around to the silence after the show and flipping out that we could bring them back by chanting. 
       Overall the music was OLP's best, during are you sad raine tricked us singing the first chorus way too low, and causing obvious confusion all around, then returned to his high pitched wonderful voice that everyone loves.  The only bad part was the people there.  If it had been a concert full of people who wanted to see OLP then it would've been eighty times better, because everyone there just wanted to sit and listen to gravity.
