But let's not get caught up in their beauty. We were lucky enough to get good seats on the second row of floor sitters. Chris, Cove and Justin announced that they would start off playing 'Follow and Feel'. I will admit that I was quite nervous for this because there have been rumors going around about Cove's voice going downhill. His voice is one of the main reasons I feel in love with this band, so of course I didn't want to believe it's true. The guitars began and then Cove sang, "Don't let them know you're watching the situation crumble..." I felt as if my soul breathed a huge sigh of relief. His voice was completely flawless. It blew me away.
They played a nice variety of songs including some really old Anthony Green ones, some from the self titled album, from 'In Search of Solid Ground', and some really funny covers including 'Friends In Low Places' by Garth Brooks. They came off as really chill, down to earth guys. By the end of the preformance we felt completely at ease around them. Okay, maybe not COMPLETELY at ease, I was still shaking when we met Cove. How could I not be nervous around someone who pulls off dreads so well AND has the perfect man legs?
Alex and Beau didn't play, which I would imagine is kind of weird for them. But it was nice to see their sweet spirits anyway. Moral of this blog: If you have not listened to Saosin you should be ashamed of yourself. Don't think, don't hesitate. Just buy all their music now!
I'll try to post some video later if my camera decides to cooperate with me. Only time will tell.
In other news tomorrow is a very exciting day for two reasons.
Reason #1: It's Adam Lazzara's bday and what doesn't say birthday fun like a picture of Adam peering at you? Happy birthday you beautiful late twenty something!
Reason #2: Tomorrow is the The Airborne Toxic Event show. Rest assured, you will be hearing plenty about it. As a side note, I found out the other day that lead singer, Mikel Jollett (far right), is 34 years old. As it turns out love really does know no age. If he wanted to, I'd totally let him date me. We'll see how it goes.
