Saw The Faint last night and taking cues from others that had seen them ventured to the upstairs of Terminal 5. This was the last night of their tour and they were really excited. They commented the last time they were in NYC they played Webster Hall at the MotherF***er Party.
They also made note that it was the biggest venue they had ever played and were glad to see it was filled to the rim. The crowd was pretty insane with mosh pits breaking out throughout the show, plenty of people tossed out for crowd surfing.
The light show was pretty amazing, and they were just phenomenal live. Everyone was dancing on stage non-stop and even on the third floor it was plenty energetic. Finishing off with The Geeks Were Right and then Paranoiattack was just awesome. Right before the encore they played Worked Up So Sexual and the place just went crazy. I must say the crowd was awesome, but I was just glad I was able to enjoy the show from above. And Im beginning really like the songs off of Fasciinatiion.
While I detest Terminal 5 for so many reasons, at least they got their soundsystem in working order and bands there sounded great. Right about now Im regretting not wearing earplugs, my ears are still ringing
The openers were New York's own: Antipop Consortium and Shy Child. I preferred Shy Child and have seen them a handful of times but Antipop Consortium were good as well. APC's set at 45 min seemed a bit long when Shy Child who was touring with them only played for 20.
