• Recent Concert - Thousand Foot Krutch

  I was going to post something else, but forgot to upload the photo.  Eh.  Instead, I'll post a couple from a concert I went to.  This will be a re-post if you read my other blog.

  The band is Thousand Foot Krutch (website).  The band is of the hard rock kind, with a little bit of rap-style delivery of some lyrics, in some songs.  They're one of my favorites, and they put on a very good live show.  You can find some of their music on YouTube (and about 5 of their offical videos, under the name "toothandnail" (their record label)), and, of course, their MP3s on Amazon.com or Wal-Mart.com.  Aside from the official videos, the quality of the recordings on YouTube does not entirely do them justice, but you can get an idea of their sound by watching the vids.

  This particular concert was held May 9, 2009, near Quicken Arena and Progressive Field in Cleveland, as part of the Cleveland Indians' Faith Night.  Acoustics were a bit rough in that location, all the sound bouncing off the streets and buildings.  The 'venue' looked like this:

  

  Still fun, though.  No waiting through teasers by other bands or anything, just straight to the main act, right after the ballgame.  I think our group might've missed the first song, but we caught the rest.  And, as short and sweet as the concert was, we didn't get home until almost 2:00 AM.

  The best place to listen to the music was directly in the center -- off to the sides, there was way too much echo, or you had to stand directly in front of the speakers (where everything sounds more like white noise, than music).  Of course, to get the best photos I had to stand directly in front of the speakers.  My ears were ringing for hours, after the concert. : )

   

  

   

  

  Eventually I might get these photos printed, then see if I can mail them to the band for autographs...
