Jet w/ Crash Kings @ The Showbox
























After the fantastic show from Crash Kings at the Snoqualmie Casino, I couldn't NOT buy a ticket for their later show at The Showbox. I was considering doing it anyways, and they definitely convinced me with their performance. I didn't get enough and wanted to see more. They were just as good the second time around! They are so energetic on stage and so much fun to watch. I saw this guy in front of me typing on his Blackberry after they finished saying "Crash Kings were ok. Earplugs are awesome." What is this guy thinking!?!? Okay? Just okay? I mean, meatloaf is "okay". This is live music we're talking about. They were nothing short of amazing!! I can't even pick a favorite song they did, because they were all insane. Plus they interact with the audience and at one point changed up their set just to please some of the fans. Like I said before, nice guys. Then they introduced Jet, saying they were one of the best live bands in the world. Since I was already convinced that I love them, I trust them as well so I was very psyched to see Jet.

Before Jet came on stage, they intro-ed themselves with bongo music. Winners already! Then they rushed on stage with so much energy and never let up during the whole show. They went from one song to the other almost without stopping the entire show. Now, I know concerts are supposed to be loud, but these guys probably almost blew the roof off. They got the crowd so hyped, I was glad to be confined in the bar area so I didn't get a punch to the face in the mosh pit. I noticed that Jet songs are so different because they switch tempos and paces in a few of their songs, but it totally works. It was kind of funny because people would be clapping along, and then the whole song would change and throw everyone off. But I really liked it. My favorite performance they did was of their song "Lazy Gun" from their first album that I haven't listened to in ages. But it transferred to a live performance so well, especially with the echo setting on the mic. They definitely were really awesome live and I think the whole audience could agree with me on that.
