What in the world was I thinking when I decided to go back to Assembly Hall in Champaign, IL? I thought I had learned my lesson when the Dave Matthews Band played there in November. I guess I thought I would give the place (crowd) another shot. I will never make that mistake again!
This was my 5th O.A.R. concert and the worst that I have been to. The band was fantastic under the circumstances. Marc (the lead singer/guitarist) was sick and wore out. He was amazing though! I knew something wasn't right, but until Steven Kellogg and the Sixers had to sing a few songs in the middle of the show is when everyone knew Marc was sick. They had to cut the show short and didn't play an encore, but I wouldn't have either. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the crowds fault for them not coming out to play an encore. People were crowd surfing, which is totally stupid at a O.A.R. concert!
Anyway, me, Noah, A.J. and Jessica went to the concert. It is about a 3 hour drive from here and just like the DMB concert in November, it snowed most of the way there. We were smarter this time and brought in our own drinks hidden in our jackets! I still can't beleive I went back to Assembly Hall. I guess I had to learn the hard way.
One bright spot is that O.A.R. will be playing here in St Louis at The Fox in July!! Last November they played there and it was one of the best concerts I have ever been too!! I am so looking forward to it!! I am also going to see them open for DMB at The Gorge in Washington (state) on September 1st, 2nd and 3rd!!!!! I can't wait! It is going to be so much fun!!
