Raindance showed a lot of passion for what they do. Never hearing them before I was pleased as an opening act. Stereo State was up next and they rocked hard. They had the crowd moving and singing along. Next was Smartbomb, which was a slight disappointment. They just didnt seem to fit with the level of play of the other bands. I would defintelty suggest putting Stereo State in their spot right before the headliner. I felt the feeling of the crowd go from nice and pumped during Stereo State back down during Smartbomb's performance and then it went way back up to a totally different level for AWS. They came out with a bang and never stopped. Played their entire Ruiner album without a flaw. Nuno was so amazing with the crowd. After the album they played a new song I think they never played live "Boat Builders". After, Nuno said he wanted to get going to kiss his 3 day old son goodnight but they still decided to play 4 more songs and absolutely shredded. Last song "We Built This City on Debts and Booze" the crowd, the band, the energy of the building was at full capacity. Overall the best show I've been to with my favorite band and a few good openers. Thank you guys
