Last night, I went with 11 other friends to the August Burns Red/UnderOath/Emery concert and man it was AWESOME!
After school yesterday, we all met in got in this big van we borrowed and made our way to Grand Rapids, MI. 2 1/2 hour drive there, got there at around 5:50-6:00 (Doors open at 6:30) and jumped out into the cold without our jackets on. After finally getting in after losing feeling in my feet, we walked into the stage room and ended up in the very center (Where the mosh pit ended up being). We stood around, waiting for everyone to get in. Everyone piled in (Pretty crammed, tons of people smoking which sucked), and the Emery came out. They were pretty good, not much happened, a few people moshed but it was pretty calm. The next band was August Burns Red, and things got crazy. People started to REALLY mosh during the SOUND CHECK! They started up and things went nuts. We moshed, I crowd surfed, headbanged, etc. By the time it was over, everyone was super tired. Quite a few people left so it helped with the space issue. Then UnderOath came out and played a ton of songs. People weren't moshing as hard like they did during ABR, but there was more than just push moshing. After they were done, everyone was chanting "1 more song!" They came back out and played TWO more songs, both songs were my 2 favorite songs (I was disappointed that they didn't play them during the concert). When they were done, the drummer threw is drumsticks and my friend got one. We bought T-shirts and left after that. Slept most of the way back, got in my car and drove home. My ears were still ringing from the Awesome.
As for injuries I got, my neck is sore from head banging and the center of my back hurts from when I went crowd surfing and I landed on some kids head. HARD.
