we showed a little late for the show, but caught the entire darlings set, which was much better than i expected and found myself enjoying them throughly as an opener.
next up was strung out: this would be coming up to my 7th or 8th time seeing strung out live and it didn't disappoint. Jason Cruz came out with more energy than I may have ever seen him give before, all of them giving a very professional but great performance, I admit i essentially came just for Strung Out.
I saw Face To Face in Regina shortly after they released the cd how to ruin everything. This tour was much more of a welcome back tour for them, so they covered a bit of everything from their catalog. I wish someone had recorded their performance, it would have made a great new live cd to replace the old one. They sounded great.
The venue was filled, people were rocking out what more can you ask? It shows that age means nothing in the biz
