The opening act, Milo Greene, was nothing special--to be honest, they bored me, despite the frankly disconcerting volume--but then Stars came on, and wow. Definitely a different sound from the album recordings, but all the more reason to hear them live! Everyone played great, and Torq and Amy were on fire (no pun intended), dancing and jumping around on stage, telling stories and spurring on the crowd, and the energy was infectious. I found myself dancing and jumping and singing along, right there with them every step of the way--my number one favorite memory of the night is of hanging halfway over the balcony railing screaming "Take me, take me to the riot," my words swallowed up by the roar of the crowd, submerged in the vibrating thrum of excitement running through every single one of us and feeling so damn on.

Favorite moment: "Take Me to the Riot" is my favorite Stars song, and the experience of hearing it live absolutely blew me away. @
