My first ever concert ....

Well, anywayz, my friend got free tix for the Switchfoot concert last night ..... I'm not a fan, but free tix, man .....

On the ticket, it says starting time was 6.30pm ..... but it wasn't until around half past seven when the band who did the opening act came on stage ... Two local bands, Love me Butch and Altered Frequency .... Not bad actually, considering the fact that I don't follow local music at all, English or otherwise ... Yeah, musical-wise, I thought they rocked ....

Then Switchfoot came on, and I think the audience almost brought the house down, despite only filling just about half the concert hall .... Man, this was my first ever concert, and I acted like a total raving lunatic .... You should ask my friend, at one point she had to back away from me 'coz I screamed so loud ... Then there were these two dudes who jumped like hell, and me and my friend followed them ...

We were at the back, so I noticed there were some people who just stood there, as if they were just watching some boring old exhibition ... F**k's sake, I don't understand Malaysian audiences, at least a number of them .... At a theatre, or a movie screening, you'd find some of them just can't keep their trap shut, but when there's an actual reason not to keep still and scream like nobody's business, some of them just stand there motionless ... What the hell is wrong with these people?? ..... I mean, I'm not a fan, right, but when the music started playing and filling up the hall, one just gets this urge to just start moving .....

And all of them, the local bands as well, played really good music, so you just have to move with them to show support, or something like that ... I think some Malaysian audience members just don't know how to appreciate live music, at least at some events ... Anywayz, some photos I took of the concert .... Really crappy 'coz my camera doesn't work in an environment/atmosphere like that ....
