House of Blues, Orlando, 5/24

[branden]

Overview:
Plus:
Go Radio - Awesome
Fit for Rivals - Kicked ass....they are awesome, and hope they get famous!!!!
RJA - Amazing as always

Downside:
Crowd was lame and boring..and everyone just like stood there....which i have never seen at any rja show.

House of blues was gay and took away everyones cameras....any other venue ive been to, they never do that. and ive been to the house of blues multiple times and they never have done that.

Was anyone there? What was your opinion?? i just realized that opinion and onion are like the same word haha....now i dont like that word. lol

Waiting outside in the downpour was interesting and getting in was not organized at the security checkpoint. I've never been to a HOB that does allow cameras so that was no surprise for me. It still sucked though!

I've seen Go Radio a few times this year and I like them so I hope they have continued success. Second time I've seen FFR and they just aren't my taste - sorry.

RJA - thought maybe Ronnie was having a tough time with his vocals at the beginning - he was spraying alot in his throat. Hoping he's doing ok and the touring hasn't been too much of a strain on his voice. The guys ROCKED and yeah, the crowd could have been better, but it didn't bother me and my friend as we had a GREAT time! ;)

no doubt it was a good show...just the whole everyone standing and not jumping around and stuff....yea i noticed that about ronnie....he was just staying in one part of the stage which isnt like him...but again it was a good show...ffr was cool because i saw them in feb. in jacksonville and when i saw them they seemed new to the stage and this time they were comfortable...the rain was crazy! we were SOAKING wet..haha but fun fun fun

I was at the Feb show too and that concert was just off the scale crazy! I loved Tickle Me Pink and The Becoming as openers. I read an article that FFR is a very new band, but their music just doesn't appeal to me. The crowd at that Feb show was really great. I go to ALOT of concerts and nights like that are one in a million. I can't even compare any other show to it! It was one of the best shows I've ever been to. Check out my photo album for pics! ;) I'm not taking anything away from last night - bigger venue, audience full fo cold wet fans (LOL!) - just a different experience and still alot of fun! Can't wait for RJA to come back to FL!

I was in the front row ,right there ,and RJA was amazing as always just like you said. My shoes were soaking and i did get wet .I do agree that the crowd was pretty lame. The last RJA show i saw in Feb ,just like you guys , we had mosh pits ,stage diving, pushing, just like any gen. admission show . But H.O.B was very still . i saw Fall Out Boy at House of Blues and it was very interesting .But hey ,atleast im not dead from being tackled . Overall ,i enjoyed the concert SO MUCH ! and i definitly plan on going to another one !

glad to see everyone kinda agrees with me

wow it rained. that sucked. Ronnie might be getting sick and therefore needs to spray a lot in his mouth. i wish i couldve gone to this, but i couldnt afford a hotel for that night. its all good though cuz i saw them saturday in St. Pete. It's funny because that was an all day outdoor concert and it didnt rain, but yet it rained on y'all in line for an indoor concert the next day.

though this show was not crazy like usual, it was awesome and I really enjoyed it. i got there at 2 and no one was there, i was kinda scared no one was coming since there's usually a ton of people there by then. but it ended up great. I can't wait for them to come back home, hopefully it wont be too long.

[branden]

i try to get to shows an hour early...i always get good spots.....but yea i was there early cuz we chilled at downtown disney for a little while.

It all sounds like fun. Especially when you can't go. *frown~sigh~pout* I am usually one of the early liner uppers and I love the preshow wait. Thank you everyone for filling us in on this show. HOB, no camera policy, the rain, the lame crowd...I would have gladly endured that to see RJA play with FFR again. The Feb show was amazing in my opinion, but I am a little bit biased on those guys. I know they'll be playing more shows after I recoup and that will help me heal some.
Speaking of FFR...has anyone found any interesting "trivia" about them that they want to share? Any connections to RJA? hmmmm? Go check out the band if you haven't and check back in. It's like a scavenger hunt for trivia. lol
