Anberlin Concert

So last night I went to the Anberlin concert with Jos, Ginger and John and it was freaking amazing! I've been to a few concerts in my day but this one took the cake I think. I have never seen a band with so much engaging stage presence before, and Stephen Christian(lead singer) didn't just put on a show, he really made the crowd a part of the show. Now I've seen shows before where the lead singer lets the crowd take the lead during a chorus and things like that, but with Stephen it was like he was letting the crowd lead him. I don't know how to describe it, but it was breathtaking. I found myself getting lost in the aura of the show which doesn't normally happen. I'm usually too focused on either the drummer(because I swear I should have been one in HS) or the overall production of the show, but this time I wasn't. It really seemed like they weren't trying to put on a show but that they were just playing in front of people they really knew. Stephen really seemed excited to be back in Cincy and the crowd was definitely awesome. I don't think there was a song that the crowd didn't sing along with. Man, I could go on forever... so instead I'll post a picture until I have the time to put some more on at home.
