I'd type out the whole story, but honestly, I wrote pages on Microsoft Word on it. Doubt anyone wants to shuffle through all of it.
Was the best night of my life. Simply put. I was RIGHT THERE. Honestly, I was a few feet away from Hunter. And, during Days of the Phoenix, Davey climbed up on the railing and leaned over to my friend Morgan and I holding out the microphone.
Of course, she and I both had a heartattack and exploded into pieces of rainbow confetti.

When I was in Salamanca, there was a big rock concert in the Plaza Mayor. I know I should've written down the name, but I didn't... so I want you to find out what band it was for me!
They're English, I can tell you that. The concert was on the night of the 9th of June, 2006, in the Plaza Mayor of Salamanca, Spain.
Thank you. :*

AFI Sorrow, you must have just died. How long did you wait to get so close to them?
It was the best concert I had ever seen. And, given my elderly status, I have seen a lot of concerts in my time. I am so lucky that my daughter, Nat, got me into AFI. It is undoubtedly my favorite band right now. And, hey, there were people older than me in the audience. Singing along just like I was. Go figure.

This make me sooo happy! I'm glad you love AFI too.
Yeah, at my concert there were a lot of older people in the audience too.
They've been my favorite band for five years, so I figured waiting in line for three hours wouldn't be too hard.And yessssh, I did die, it was wonderful and even though I started to faint in the mosh pit during Dillinger Escape Plan and had to be hoisted out of there by my two best friends it was the best night of my life.

They are AMAZING live aren't they? Everyone is full of such energy, it really blows my mind. That, and they sound exactly same. Davey's vocals never cease to amaze me, along with the wonderful instrument work and stage performance of our little Jade, Hunter and Adam. (I was so happy because from my position I got a perfect shot of Adam. He's really fun to watch, all twirly with his drum sticks and just completely rocking the PIRATE drums!!) And of course, Hunter was his typical self jumping from everything he could climb and Jade was kicking his "chicken foot" like never before.
And yes, the unity of the crowd is INSANE. Everyone is singing, young and old, all thrusting their fists into the air. It's magical.

AFI, did you ever see Dillenger Escape Plan before that? Because I have to say that they were the most intense band I had ever seen. My guess is that anyone I know would have been outraged--oh, my husband would have walked out--I found it quite extreme, but I don't know quite how to put this, I appreciated it. I mean I tried to understand just where they were coming from and accept their point of view. Their rhythm was awesome. Made my heart shake.
But, AFI. Geesh. No comparison. They are an amazing live band. Because they really communicate with the audience. Make everyone feel a part of it. And, I just don't know how Davey can do a soft vocal ballad-type one song and then scream in the next song (though unlike Dillinger Group, have every word understood in that scream). It really was the best concert I had ever seen and I have seen so many in my lifetime. I only wish that we had tickets to go back to see them the following day. Though we did luck out. Davey and Jade did a show with a local music station immediately after the show, so we got to hear them (and listen to music they picked to play) on the car ride home. I was so tired the next day from standing on my feet for so long, hoarse voice from singing so loud and whistling and screaming ooooh (much to the embarassment of my daughter--mothers are not supposed to give appreciative screams, I guess.) --but it was so well worth it. Now I can't stop listening to their lastest CD. Maybe I was born before my time, eh? Or they appeal to a larger population than would seem at first glance. I am glad you had such a memorable experience at the show.
I am taking my daughter and a friend to see Mindless Self Indulgence this weekend. I just hope that after seeing AFI, I am not too disappointed.

Remember any of the songs titles or lyrics? I'm just hoping it's not Arctic Monkeys.
