Good Charlotte Tour

Cardiology Tour - April 13th 2011

Supports: New Empire and Short Stack

I did not have high expectation about this concert.

A boy band, hitting the stage for a show, honestly, I expected them to stand there and just perform. 

My gosh was I wrong!

Good Charlotte came on and played for about 90 minutes, playing both old and new songs. I have to confess that I only knew about half of the songs they played as I mainly went to this concert to see Short Stack. Benji and Joel are nuts!!!!!! These guys are full of energy, crazy on stage. They are funny and great at performing live. They sound exactly like their CDs sound. A downside to this concert was that a few times the vocals got drowned out due to the volume of the music.

Vocals: amazing, almost near perfect with their CDs, drowned out a few times due to the volume of the music. 

Costumes: so these guys didn't have 9847683 costume changes. They did not have any, they remained in the same clothes the entire time. These clothes were very fitting to their music and suited them very well.

Stage: the stage was a basic set. It had 4 lights at the front of it which allowed 4 members to stand on to perform, the drummer was in about the centre of the stage, with a huge back drop of the 'GC' in their font they use.

Dancing: these guys didn't dance. But they jumped around like maniacs! Crazy guys!

Set list: they played many of their older and newer songs, with many songs that I didn't know prior to seeing them live, but they did play all their best songs they have had.

Crowd interaction: one of the best bands when it comes to their interaction with the crowd, they talk and it doesn't come across as scripted.

Support acts: starting with New Empire, a band I have never heard of, these guys were just incredible! The singers voice is amazing, and this band is amazing, go and check them out on iTunes! New Empire played about 5-6 songs as their set.

Main support was Short Stack. This was the 7th time I have seen them and thought it would be just another Short Stack gig. But this was the best gig that they have ever played. Can't believe how good they were, full on energy from start to end of their 40 minute set. Although they only played the songs they have released, they were incredible!

 

Overall I rate this concert three and a half stars out of five!

My next concert is at the end of the month and is Katy Perry, followed by music festival Groovin' The Moo the next day!

Peace
