I actually disagree with that a creed fan to creed fan. In general, the crowd did have a nice sing-a-long. However, the community of fans was not as strong this time around in my opinion. I was in the seats right of the stage, and there were still people sitting who did not the words to most songs. The band itself was better than when I saw them the two times I had seen them live before. It was interesting to see Stapp play guitar on a few songs. Nevertheless, there were too many breaks between songs and between musical acts.

I was not as "high" as you were Gina after the show. I had been working all day on Sunday. I had been on my feet from 9-5 and then I was on my feet during the concert. I was exhausted! Trying to search for our car in the wrong parking garage did not help my tired feet either. so my cousin, his friend, and I ran through 4 floors of cars trying to find our car for at least a half hour just to discover we were not in the right place. when we finally excepted the post-concert traffic jam, we got lost because my stupid cousin thought that using side streets would be easier because there would be no traffic. It just became a headache. Well, I tell you more of my opinion of the concert when I have time to actually write.

By the way, I do think that the Plain Dealer reporter did try to review the show. He seemed optimistic at first. But his bitterness had gotten the best of him when he sat down and wrote the article. At least he did write truthfully about his experience. Journalists have deadlines and topics. If that event the journalist is writing goes off course then so be it. However, he should not judge a concert that he did not attend. He was pushing freedom of speech in the article. One thing, I believe, the reporter forgot about is prejudice. He judged Creed without even seeing/hearing their show. It seems that Creed cannot get away from the music critics who push them down from the boxing glove of personal grudges.
