Heather and I attended Taking Back Sunday’s ten-year album
anniversary show for Tell All Your Friends at the Ogden last night. I have seen
Taking Back Sunday on several occasions, but last night held a special place in
my heart.
In 2002, my band had just finished the final leg of the U.S.
Warped Tour. Rob and Darin flew
home. Allen and I decided to drive
the van up to New York City to play a couple of acoustic shows for our label
and distributor. We spent a few
days in New York City and then headed west, back to San Diego.
Taking Back Sunday had just released Tell All Your Friends
and Allen had become an instant fan. The record grew on me quickly. We listened to Tell All Your Friends all
the way home. I remember Allen and
I screaming those lyrics at the top of our lungs for hours at a time. The
record was so good. It is still a
great record.
Oasis’ Heathen Chemistry was also a popular record in the CD
player for that trip.
The guys from Taking Back Sunday have gotten a little older
and have lost a little steam.
Granted, they have been touring forever. I give them some credit. Last night’s show was good. It brought back a lot of memories. I am really glad I was there to be with Heather as she saw
them for the first time.
