Kamelot Concert!

This was my very first concert and boy did I choose it well. I was panicing the entire time there afraid that I was gonna get lost on the way there (New York is to big not to worry) but I was fortunate enough (and smart enough) to get there right on time because I had decided to leave my house a bit earlier. So 2 trains, 1 subway, 12 New York blocks (which are HUGE, by the way), and 3 hours later we finally arrive at our destination and there is a huge line for the concert. Me and my sister wait patiently until we are let in (and even though we're 21 they still asked us for our ID!). Everyone was going to the base floor to get as close to the band as possible but me and my sister decided to go to the upstairs floor (were the bar was) to see if we could get a good view...For the very first concert of my life I could'nt have picked better seats! We were staring right at them. Not as close as everyone else but we were able to see everything: the fans, the singers...It was amazing.

Four hours later I leave partially deaf, almost mute, and with a big smile on my face and a frenzy I couldn't shake. That had been ONE HELL of a concert. Simply awesome! The fans were enthusiastic, the bands interacted with us and we all had a great time.

My sister, however, had a more accurate discription:

"Concert of my favorite band on a Friday night, what can be better than that? Oh wait an EPIC Concert on a Friday night in NYC and Kamelot freakin' NAILED IT!! It was amazing. Not all the songs from silverthorn, they added Fan favorites like March of Mephesto, Human Stain, Center of the Universe and Forever.
Grillo was a God on the drums. Wish I had captured his solo moment. His setup was just beastly and he played like a man possessed! Karevik was epic! He pushed the crowd, made them scream and sing and join in on the energy pouring from the stage. It was phenomenal. Best part was when he shut of the mic and had us join in on "Don't you cry". I will never forget it.
Delain and Eklipse made it just as good as Kamelot. Charlotte Wessels had the voice of an angel. I would swear there were certain parts where I could see her wings spread across the stage as she sang.
Summarizing, I left with my ears ringing, my throat aching, my voice fading and me drowning in the biggest wave of ear-gasmic bliss I haven't felt.. ever. Thank you Kamelot for the awsome concert!
PS: like the stupid idiot I am, I got too camera happy at the begining of the concert and didn't have enough memory for most of Kamelot's preformance.

I think my sister hit that reaction right on the head. The concert truely was amazing! Below is a complied video we made from what we were able to record. It isn't one of our best works, but it will do...There is just one thing about it: my camera SUCKS! It only has a few gigs of memory so we were only able to tape certain parts of the concert. So if the video suddenly stops, that was us turning off the camera to save space for other preformances.

Here's the timeline for the following compiled video.

Video:
Delain 0:06 - 4:58
Eklipse 4:58 - 9:46
Kamelot 9:46 - 13:58"
