May 25, 2012

I didn't feel so well in the morning so I didn't work. After a while I felt better and met Ryan at the gym for leg workout. I decided that I needed a haircut after that and then it was about time for Omar to pick me up and head to Philly. We picked up his friend Chris and went to JD's for some food and beers. Meg met us there and we continued to hang and drink after they went to the show.

After a couple of Golden Monkeys we went next door to the Electric Factory just as Animals as Leaders were finishing their set and we had a short wait in the crowd getting excited until Thrice came out. They played a great set mixing songs from each of their albums. Everyone was into in the crowd.

They played a lot of older stuff as well as new stuff. I was really excited to hear "Daedalus" and "Broken Lungs" among all of the other greats songs. "The Earth Will Shake" is still one of the best live songs. They played an encore and then came back for a second encore to play "Anthology," which is a perfect closing song to say goodbye to a fantastic band.

We hung out in the cool air after the show talking about the set. We were all slightly disappointed that few songs were left off the set list, but overall we were just happy after such a great performance. They will definitely be missed along with so many other bands that don't play anymore.

Eventually we parted ways and headed home with the windows down. It was a beautiful night out and we had an amazing time.
