Of a Revolution - Stephens Auditorium 11/5/05

Overall a great concert. The sound was amazing, I'm sure it has a good amount to do with the fairly good acoustics of the building itself. The crowd was awesome, very into the concert. I was actually surprised with how many people knew the lyrics to both the old and the new songs. The band took a few opportunities to thank the audience and even said they needed a night like this. It wasn't until after the concet that I read about the Omaha crowd. (Apperently the crowd was very inconsiderate and prompted many pauses during the show. I guess it so bad that the band didn't even come back out for an encore.) I'm glad that our crowd was very respectful and very entusiastic.
Openers:
Toby Lightman
Apperently Toby Lightman has actually been on the radio lately. As I never listen to the radio, I had never heard of her before. I wasn't expecting a great deal as was the first of two openers. I must tell you that I was plesantly surprised. Their sound was great and they had a great stage presence. You could definitely tell that the band was into the music and wasn't just there for the gig. I purchased her cd as soon as the band finished and my girlfriend and I both thoroughly enjoy her music. I would strongly suggest you give her a listen if you're into a strong voice with a R&B feel.
Michael Tolcher
Pretty good band, reminded me a bit of Depeche Mode. I don't have a great deal to say about them, other than if I had their cd I'd probably listen to them a fair amount. Their sound is unique as is their personality.

It wasn't a drum tech.......it was a ninja!

Well, isn't Sub-Zero a ninja of some type?
