So, first concert all year. First concert since... November? Whenever Straight No Chaser was.

It's been fucking pouring all day long, so we left a little early. Made it downtown by like 5:30, which is when the gates were set to open. Took a few minutes to get in. Chilled til 7.

Opening act was Andrew McMahon, who is also the lead singer from Jack's Mannequin (things I did not know). He played: Dark Blue (JM), Resolution (JM), High Dive, Bruised (JM), Cecilia and the Satellite, I Woke Up In A Car (Something Corporate), and Synesthesia..

Matt Nathanson and Gavin DeGraw are co-headlining this tour, so they trade off who's up first and tonight was Matt's turn, so he came on about 7:45 and played til about 9. He did: Kill the Lights, Annie, Car Crash mashed with Iggy Azalea's Fancy, Run, Mission Bells, Room @ the End of the Word mashed with a little bit of Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Kinks Shirt, Laid, Wedding Dress with a Raining In Baltimore (Counting Crows) intro because it, you know, was. Then Suspended, Faster mixed with a little of George Micheal's Faith, his new one, Headphones - he ran around for this one, got a high five. Added in an extra song with Little Victories for Robin Williams, ended with Come On Get Higher mashed with You're The One That I Want from Grease for some reason. He was his usual talky, goofy self. Just as Room @ the End of the World started (my favorite out of the songs he played tonight) our usual trouble found us - here comes a Security guy asking about the cameras. We both have Nikon Coolpix things with pretty good zooms but are not "professional cameras" by usual concert standards, and the venue specifically sent an email the other day giving the usual 'no video, no detachable lenses' spiel - I had to stop in the middle of the concert, get out my phone, find the damn email and prove it to the guy before he left us alone. Ughhhhh.

Gavin was up last, came on stage around 9:30 and played til just before 11. He played: Leading Man, Chariot, Sweeter, Heartbreak, Follow Through, We Belong Together, Best I Ever Had, Where the Streets Have No Name (U2 cover) straight into Everything Will Change, Radiation straight into Rich Girl (Hall & Oates cover), then Soldier, In Love With a Girl, Finest Hour, I Don't Wanna Be, Make a Move, and ended with Not Over You.

Made it out surprisingly quickly and we were home by like 11:30.
