From a Streetlight Manifesto show.

I am convinced that they are one of the best live acts in existence right now. I have never seen a band that can whip a crowd into a frenzy like that, with everyone shouting and pumping fists and chanting the lyrics in a chaotic chorus. Not to mention, has risen to huge underground success so quickly.

A quick pic I got on my phone:




Better Place, Better Time is one of the most heartfelt and amazing live songs.

A Moment of Violence = kinda scary to be in the pit area for.

They covered Linoleum by NOFX, with just Kalnoky singing it alone with his accoustic guitar.

They sang "It's A Wonderful Life" by BOTAR, and kept the upright bass and accoustic sound going by playing "Forty Days" and "Would You Be Impressed" in the same swing-jazz-twang style.



If you get the chance, go see them live. It is an almost zen inspiring experience.

I've never listened to Streetlight Manifesto, maybe I'll give them a listen. Sounds like you had a good time, that's all that really matters.

And comparing "Pit Intensity" is so 2 years ago.

It's not "pit intensity" at a Streetlight show. It is crowd participation.

It gets Ridiculous.

I honestly don't think there is a band that can get the same reaction. Obviously all bands get a crowd crazy, by SM is on a different level.


MBD, did they play "The Provide The paint for the picture perfect masterpiece that you will paint on the inside of your eyelids"?

That song title is EPIC, let alone the song. Last time I saw them, they played both of the BOTAR songs that are original.

A Better Place, A Better Time is an amazing all around song.

Clicky Circle Pit filled to the max


Also, I have seen them a bunch of times. I think I might pay double for a ticket to see them on the 28th anyway(because it sold out)



Dude GAY! Noone has them for sale. I guess it legitimately sold out 2 nights in a row.

Not this time. They did last time.

I was happy get to hear a few of the newer songs get played in BOTAR style though.

Forty Days played in the BOTAR style is awesome.
