Gotta say, you guys are downplaying Essex.
These guys weren't the best set of the night (that privilege goes to ATS, more on that later), but damn, they were close.

I don't understand when you guys say that Essex's music really didn't fit your style or such....how so? Seriously, almost all of the music there was of the same exact style....so how could you not dig it? Say you didn't dig the singer's voice or such other things, but saying you didn't dig the music, means that you didn't dig the night. I just said 'dig' a whole lot.

Anyway, I was very impressed with Essex. Nuff said.

Now, here's where I'm going to state the truth. I didn't really think that Stealing September were all that good. Their timing was off on almost all their songs, and...it just wasn't that enjoyable of a set. I love the guys to death, they're all my friends, and this is why I'm saying this. I don't want to just state one sentence that says: 'Hot damn, but I enjoyed Stealing September! Get a recording out of these guys as fast as you can!' Here's what I will say: 'There is a ton of potential, but you still need time to fully utilize it.' Seriously, they're all talented musicians, but more experience is due for these guys. I wish I was sticking around Warsaw to see them progress, cause I'm sure they will.

Oh, and if someone would like to PM me....I didn't catch what DH said after SS's set.

Now, to the act of the night. A Thousand Seasons. Even with a flub at the beginning of one of their songs, they fucking rocked. These guys amaze me on how well they make a three piece band sound. Even if you didn't like their stuff, you couldn't deny that these guys got the crowd pumped, and pumped good. The band members might disagree with me, but this was the best set I've seen them play. Their new stuff was impressive, especially when the smoke was coming off of Woodward's guitar (not literally folks, but you should have seen the fingers flying). These guys are class acts, and I can say that they made this show completely worthwhile.

I had to take my female companion home at this point, so I was unable to see any of the other acts, but I must say, this night was more enjoyable than I thought, and I'm glad that I could take part in the remembrance of two girls who will always be remembered by us, with, or without a tribute show.
