Lifehouse in Concert
Oct. 22
Kapono's

Ok, if you were like me and went to this one then what will mostly stick in your mind is rain. Lots of it (try all damn night) and this was an open venue, rain or shine concert. However if you’re like me and really big fan of Lifehouse you didn’t give a flying f*** if you where in a middle of a monsoon because it was Lifehouse (well lots of pretty women with wet tops all over the place helped a little) !!!

The opening act was Build a Better Spaceship, a California band. I really felt sorry for these guys. I’m pretty sure almost 90% of the people there didn’t know them (I sure didn’t) and the rain didn’t help and the natives were getting restless. They played a good hour and had a good sound but since I didn’t know them from Adam I couldn’t really get into it.

Anyways about 1 ½ hours standing in the pouring rain sweet salvation finally arrived and I forgot how freakin' soaked I was. Lifehouse start off with most of their new songs and few of their old ones but they really started to bring the house down with Spin (with Jason Wade playing up for the crowd for the ending instrumental of the song). They saved the best for last (I can’t believe nobody knew what Hana Hou meant when I started shouting that) playing You & Me and Hanging by a Moment for the encore.

So despite coming home looking like a wrinkled prune and having a very sore throat (from too much screaming from first song to last song) this was one of the best concerts I’ve been to… EVER! If they ever come back to town I’ll be sure to go see them again (hopefully it’ll be in a drier locale but even then…) :)
