Who: Blink-182 w/ Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the Disco (no Chester French because of rain)
When: August 12, 2009
Where: Hershey Park Stadium
This show was a dream come true for me. I never thought that I would be able to see Blink after they broke up. I've been listening to Blink since 2nd grade, and they sound as good as ever live. It started pouring rain when at 6:30 when the show was supposed to start, and lasted past 7, so Chester French didn't get to play, but Panic! at the Disco was great, even though they were missing 2 members, and Fall Out Boy put on a great show as usual too. They even pulled Journey out of their asses. Blink-182 made up for the shitty rain by putting on a great show, as I thought they would. Tom made his sex jokes, Mark made fun of Tom, and Travis, as expected, slammed those drums. Tom messed up his guitar solos, Mark sung "Chocolate Rain," and Travis...said no to singing "Reckless Abandon." It was everything that you would expect at a Blink show. They played not only their singles, but their non-hits from their latest 3 albums. I would've liked some more played from Dude Ranch and Cheshire Cat, but I'm guessing their still rusty from not playing for 5 years. I highly recommend to anyone who likes crappy punk rock to check them out on tour.
