Concert Review-The Game Changers Tour

Who: A Day to Remember, Bring Me the Horizon, Pierce the Veil, We Came As Romans
When: March 13, 2011
Where: The Palladium in Worcester, MA
     First off I would like to say that I am sorry that this is coming so late, I kept putting it off due to school work.  But anyways here is the long delayed concert review of the Game Changers Tour!!
Venue: This was my first time going to the Palladium and I must say it was much smaller, but I liked it.  It made the experience much more intimate experience.  But the funny thing about the Palladium is even though the guest capacity seems smaller, the stage seems bigger, giving the bands more room to move around.  The venue also had a nice breeze running through it which helped cool me down in between sets. 
We Came As Romans: Before this night, I hadn't really listened to WCAR all that much, but I was really impressed with their performance.  Great vocals between Clean singer, Kyle Pavone, and screamer, David Stephens.  I was also really impressed with what the band did with their lack of space, still jumping around and ultilizing their space well.  The best performance for me goes to bassist, Andrew Glass.  He was very energetic and did some sort of cool bass flip that is shown in the video below. (This video isn't from the concert I went too. Fast forwars to about 2:15 to see the bass flip)
     We Came As Romans-Broken Statues (Live)
Pierce the Veil:This is my second time seeing Pierce the Veil live, with the first being at Warped Tour, but I definitely liked this performance better.  Not only was the overall performance better, but I liked how they opened to an altered version of Wiz Khalifa's "Black and Yellow" to enter.  They played many of my favorite songs and had a lot of energy throughout the whole show.  They also did a short cover of "Like a G6" and brought a girl on stage and sang part of their song "Yeah Boy and Doll Face" to her.  The final highlight was the lead singer of A Day to Remember, Jeremy McKinnon, coming out and singing "Caraphernilia" with them.  (both videos are from the same tour but a different date)
     Pierce the Veil- Intro and Besitos (Live)
     Pierce the Veil-Like A G6 (Live)
Bring Me the Horizon: This is also my second time seeing BMTH.  I liked them much more than the first time seeing them, because this time they had a lot more energy for the show.  The only thing I didn't really like is that they didn't really do anything flashy or special.  Although their performance was great, they didn't have anything extra that the concert I saw them at before. Even the set list was similar.  (video is from the same tour, different date)
     Bring Me The Horizon- Chelsea Smile (Live)
A Day to Remember: Lastly, the headliners.  Again, this is my second time seeing this band.  But this time ADTR really spiced up the show.  On top of their normal energy packed set, they added a lot of "flashy" elements, including guys in spandex suits shooting t-shirts to the crowd, confetti machines, dropping balloons on the crowd and CO2 guns shooting up from the stage.  They also added a lot of attention with a curtain in front of the stage to start the show, but the crowd went absolutely nuts when it dropped.  And to top it all off, at one point Jeremy got in a giant bubble suit and walked on top of the crowd for "Homesick."  ADTR's performance was over the top and definitely my favorite performance of any band I have seen perform to date. (video from the same tour, different date)
     A Day to Remember- Intro/Sticks and Bricks (Live)
     A Day to Remember-Homesick (Live)
Overall: This was probably the best concert that I have ever been too.  All the bands performed great and the only dull moments came during the set-ups in between.  The only thing I can think about that I didn't like was how cold it was to wait outside in line for it, and the fact that Bring Me The Horizon was the only band to not do anything special with their set.
