3eb : the Venue (Fargo)
Let me start this off with one thing. When I ask people what type of music they like and they say ‘everything’, that is strike one. When I ask who is your favorite band and you reply with ‘Oh, I like everything, it’s too hard.’ That’s strike two. Strike three could come at any moment after that.
My favorite band is Third Eye Blind.
They had an opener called Thundercats or TMNT or something. They sounded like a bad version of the Black Eyed Peas. I went and enjoyed two for ones.
Third Eye Blind kicked it off with ‘Red Hot Summer Sun’ off of their album, ‘Blue’. Just stellar.
Their set included most of the hits, 5 tracks from ‘Out of the Vein’ and a few new songs.
They even did a great acoustic mini-set including ‘Can’t Get Away From You’..
This show was followed by an Open Jam in the House of Rock (a small club attached to the Venue.)
Where more drunken debauchery took place, including dancing like maniacs to classics like ‘Run for the Hills’, ‘Immigrant Song’, and ‘All My Life’. My cousin Nate and I rocked out to a whole bunch and I even faked a guitar solo during ‘Hard to Handle.’
Great night.
Much thanks goes out to Matt, Nicole, Steve, Nate, and Noah for the good times.
