Did anyone else go to the shows this weekend? Went Saturday and had a great time, all the bands were good. Quick review.
Hostage- very good band had lots of energy, a lot of you will like them
Yellow Stitches- good as always, they get better everytime I see them
Hammer and the Nails- Very good, drummer from the Dropkick's other band.
SOIA- as always a great set lots of energy, best crowd reaction of the night.
Cockney Rejects- another older band with a lot of energy, great set. Played all their classics.

My review:

Same for the most part. Sound sucked for first two bands. Vocals were lost. But the bands played through.

SOIA was not as good as I usually see them but I think the venue had a lot to do with it. Most people were in the back drinking so Lou did a lot of the sing along parts and started to lose his voice a little towards the end. BUT still amazing as always.

CR were really good but I was exhausted by then and had to reserve energy for our hour + set the next day so I was one of the jerks in the bar part looking on.

I don't know Hostage, but that's a great lineup. SOIA are always great live, and I've never seen CR and would love to.

Sick of it All were incredible in Philly. It was my third time seeing them and they just became one of my favorite bands.

They are my favorite live band.

I saw them in Amsterdam, NYC, played with them in RI, I think it was just the way the club was set up that made it a little weird.

Yeah, I didn't get the whole barrier thing. They were serving glass bottle which was weird because they usually put it in plastic cups, just a weird setup.
