Sound: Ok so this is the Alexisonfire show at the PNE Forum in Vancouver on December 1, 2007. It was one of the craziest best concerts I've ever been to. Everything was perfect, it couldn't get any better. The quality of the sound depended on where you were in the venue but overall it was absolutely perfect. George's screaming was amazing and Dallas' vocals gave me goose bumps it was just 100% perfect. And Alexisonfire are one of my favourite bands and so are Anti-Flag who opened for them. And holy shit Anti-Flag put on a good show this is the second time I've seen Anti-Flag and it was better then the last time. But overall Alexisonfire was perfect for sound everything was clear same with Anti-Flag. // 10
Perfomance: Alright so everyone loved the show it was absolutely amazing. The whole entire floor was like one big mosh-pit. When Anti-Flag hit the stage I flipped out because there lyrics communicate with my oppinions of the government and law to. And the setlist was awesome they bursted out on the stage with 1. War sucks, lets Party! and went on in the set with awesome songs like, 1 Trillion Dollars, Die for your government, This is the end (for you my friend), The press corpse, Turncoat, and also one of the crowds favourites F--k Police Brutality. And then Anti-Flag left the stage. Heres where it builds up. The lights shut off and everyones pumped right the hell up and Dallas Green comes out onto the stage playing the guitar intro for "You Burn First" and he starts singing it and then the rest of the band comes out on the stage and George starts screaming his parts out and they finished that song and went directly into "We are the sound" and that along with all there songs were extremely high energy. I can't remember the songs in order but here's a good portion of what they played, Control, Pulmonary Archery, Mailbox Arson, No Transitory, Accidents, This could be anywhere in the world, Drunks lovers sinners and Saints, Rough hands, Crisis, Keep it on wax, To a friend, Hey it's you funeral mama, and a few others that I can't remember lol. It was amazing how high energy both Anti-Flag and Alexisonfire were. They all did great and the lighting was pretty good. // 10
Impression: So the concert took place in Vancouver Canada, at the PNE Forum. I waited roughly 6 hours in pouring snow. My hands had actually turned purple and my friends were a bit worried so was I but it was worth it in the end. The openers were Pride Tiger (they took over for Saosin) and I along with most of the crowd did not like Pride Tiger, and The bled were another opener and the crowd and I really liked them, and last opener was Anti-Flag. And as I said earlier they were absolutely insane and I knew every song they played and loved every moment. I got to touch Both the Chris' hands. And Chris #2 was just going insane and Chris was crazy and the rest of the band were perfect to top it off. The ticket price was about $45 a ticket well worth it. And this is now my second time seeing Anti-Flag and first time seeing Alexisonfire and I will tell you right now next time Anti-Flag come back I am Definetely going no question. And as for Alexisonfire next time they come back I am also definetely going No qiestion about it. As for Pride Tiger I hope I never have to see them again and The bled meh they were ok. // 10
