Coheed and Cambria

Back from the concert. Avenged Sevenfold played before C&C. Some other band opened. We were running late due to the Cavs actually WINNING (we watched them score enough points to win at the bar) and then ran into post game traffic. Also people were going to the Indians game. Chelsea met some dude named Darryl (sp?) there. I'm pretty sure we were in the older demographic (like Weird Al and Tom Petty), mostly because everyone seemed to be in high school or just finishing high school. What a fun, sexy group of people. John and I stuck to the back for A7X (as the kids were calling them). Chelsea and Darryl went to find some "mosh-pitting" in the front. After their set, John and I staked our area out for C&C which we hoped would not be in a mosh pit area, but still close. Unfortunately we managed to find a staging ground for crowd-surfin kids, which may have had a greater potential for damage.
Coheed opened with "In Keeping the Secrets of Silent Earth: 3" which was an expected and totally rocking start to an enjoyable concert. Except for the crowd-surfing punk kids. And the creepy, clearly underage girls. But I didn't let any of that ruin my concert. I got "Welcome Home" and "A Favor House Atlantic" to make me happy. John wanted some "Once Upon Your Dead Body" but no dice; he got "The Suffering" instead and was pretty happy. The last encore was super played out and psychadelic. The kids couldn't handle the voice box on the guitar (like Frampton uses) and prolonged guitar fantasticness from Claudio. I thought it was great, but could have been better (for me) with some chemical "modification." Anyway, Coheed and Cambria put on a great show. I wish I could have seen a full 2 set show from them but I'll take what I can get.
