i went to the philly date of this show. enter shikari did well, and i don't much care for silverstein so i chain smoked until their set was over. by the way, their backup singer was so off key, it was almost painful to listen to. august burns red were of course phenomenal. but adtr's stage show was so gimmicky and full of itself that it really turned me off. im a fan, dont get me wrong, but the intro video, roadie clad in scuba gear launching t-shirts out of a hand-held cannon, and smoke columns were so unfitting for a hardcore band. i thought for just a second that i was at a fall out boy show, but then i saw people moshing.

You talk of the confetti gun, but spare a thought for the people (including me) who have to sweep that shit up after the shows. That was a shit job.

Keep in mind that ADTR is a pop-punk band at heart, not a hardcore band.

From the show starting to it ending, do you think it was 4hrs and 15minutes longer or less? I have to catch a bus home for this show and don't want to miss any of ADTR.

I'd say it was a little longer, unfortunately

Great show overall. You're a little off on the setlists but pretty much its all there. Did you have a hard time getting to Starland with the telephone pole being down?

Sorry. My memory was a bit off, so I filled in some holes with the setlist posted in the Toursick thread.
And yeah. We finally figured out to go around to the other side of Jernee Mill Road and go to the venue from there.

I was there, missed all of Veara and Enter Shikari, but Silverstein and August Burns Red more than made up for it. Silverstein played a great set, their song selection was great (partly because they avoided Arrivals and Departures). This was my first time ever hearing anything from ABR, and they made a believer out of me.

I'd seen ADTR twice before, and was a little disappointed both times, but this one left me begging for more. They played a great set, the crowd was intense, and it was a phenomenal place to be that night. That being said, I was wildly disappointed that they didn't play "NJ Legion Iced Tea." Other than that, best show I've been to in a while.

This was my 11th time seeing ADTR. ABR blew me away and A Day To Remember put on probably the best set ive seen them play dating back to late 06. The best part of their set had to be their ...And Their Name Was Treason medley.

Wednesday in Toronto! The show is gonna be wicked!

IM seeing them in montreal the 13th! But silverstein wont be there....i'm wondering if the 3 opening band will play more!

Seeing this the 21st minus Silverstein and Go Radio in place Veara. I am so stoked! I've seen ADTR already but they only played like 8 - 10 songs 'cause they were opening for Silverstein. Their setlist looks so fucking good. Pumped for the And Their Name Was Treason medley. I've yet to see ABR so that will be sick too!

I was never a big fan of Enter Shikari until i saw them live on Friday night, they were really entertaining to watch. Veara was also awesome. They put a solid show and also hung out at there merch tent all night, which was an awesome gesture to meet fans. All in all a really great show.

great review. honest and to the point. man, 2 years ago i would have killed to be at this show. my taste has changed a little bit. i hardly listen to any of these bands anymore, but this review made me kinda wish i would have went. if not just, for a lack of better words, for old times sake.

i didnt they had ever play "if it means a lot to you"

that set list is a bout 5 songs longer than their sydney show in feb, rorted!
