Ok, so it started out slow in a really great venue (Nextstage in Grand Prarie) when the lead dude from 3 Doors Down came out and introduced some band from Mississipi called Bad Charism. They weren't too bad, they were just too heavy and they sounded like everything else on the radio. Anyways, Seether came out next and wow. No one, and I mean no one was moshing. It was sad because Seether's really not bad they're just too heavy for my taste. After they played I started shaking. I was like freaking out in between the bands and I just about lost it when they lowered the OLP backdrop. It was cool and by the way, I'm 14 and this was my first OLP concert not to mention my first REAL concert. So when the boys came on I stood up. I did not sit down until they left. I was like the only one standing in my little section thing. People are just stupid and had no idea what they were in for. They started off with All For You, which was perfect, then Whatever, and then Superman's Dead. After that, Raine started talkiing about going back to the studios and then asked us if it was alright if they played 2 new songs. So then they played Wipe That Smile Off Your Face, which kicked more ass than Jackie Chan and Walking in Circles (I couldn't really hear what Raine was singing, but it was still a good song). Innocent was decently played after those two and then, if I remember correctly, Clumsy started. Birdman rocked the house when Raine finally said, "Hey, isn't this a rock concert? Shouldn't everyone be on their feet?". He did the little push thing and fell on his ass during the wonderful rendition and might I say, he did look fine. Mmmm...Hahaha, so anyway, the crowd started going wild when *sigh* Somewhere Out There started. Now, don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the song, but it just makes me sad to know that people out there listen more to the radio than music. But ya, so there were crowd surfers and everything. It was cool, then right before Starseed, Raine spoke up and said how it was their last night on the tour and how many "fuckin' assholes" they've met along the way in this business. When it was all over, I turned to my sister and said "Hey, you wanna go??". Sorry, 3 Doors Down, we knew that Our Lady Peace had already showed every other band there what good music is. Over all, the concert was awesome, considering it was my first but, I just wish Duncan was there then it would've been even better.
