Creation Festival 2009

After a long day of sitting in the hot HOT sun with next to nothing to eat or drink and no potty breaks, and suffering through Remedy Drive and Bluetree, Reggie Dabbs came on. He was excellent, but not who I was there to see (that didn't stop me from buying an mp3 version of his sermon). After Reggie, Skillet came on!

Their AMAZING new intro kicked things off (good quality video found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNDGNFRto-s), followed immediately by Whispers in the Dark, which is my personal favorite Comatose song they perform live. Next up was Better Than Drugs, which is a close second for me, as well as being my favorite lyrics from Comatose. Next up were Older I Get, Comatose (including the Comatose Tour intro, minus the countdown), and Best Kept Secret, with BKS being the best song out of the trio. Next up was a new song, Hero, with John giving a short speech on why exactly the world does need a Hero. John then gave his power ballad speech and played the chrous of I'll Be There For You by Bon Jovi, before playing Yours to Hold. The Last Night was next, with an awesome outro, followed by a Jen Ledger Drum Solo, which was awesome. I think she got about 6 proposals during it....anyway, John then handed his bass over to Scottyrock (their AWESOME tour manager), and continued into Those Nights, where he pulled the crowd cam (see the footage here: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=12268788&blogID=498965303) Then John introduced another new song, Monster, which rocked the crowd. Then Tate and Jonathan got a Cello and Violin solo, respectively, before playing rebirthing with awesome spinny fireworks. The ended with Savior, with an awesome outro.

Things that were awesome: It's a Skillet show.....and they had PYRO...and fireworks...
Things I didn't like: They didn't have enough time, so they skipped Forsaken and How Deep The Father's Love For Us. They also didn't get their My Obsession encore.
