Panic & Co. Rock SLC!!!402 dni temu
 
WEST VALLEY CITY — Four bands, four hours and some Rock Band video-game play had the E Center audience in a frenzy Thursday night.

Headlining the show was Panic at the Disco, and while that Las Vegas-based band's set was well choreographed and running on all pistons, it was the opening acts that set the tone and energy of the evening.

The Cab's "rawk band" set featured blistering guitar solos by wiz-kid Ian Crawford; heart to soul crowd interaction by lead singer Alex Deleon and some pop-rock jams which included bassist Cash Colligan, keyboardist Alex Marshall and drummer Alex Johnson.

Chicago's The Plain White T's, added their life to the mix as it offered old songs and new ones from the new CD "Big Bad World."

"1, 2, 3, 4," "Natural Disaster" and title track from "Big Bad World" were highlights of the set. But it was, of course, the performance of the Grammy Award-winning acoustic ballad "Hey There Delilah" that got the most cheers.

"The first time this song was played on the radio was in Salt Lake City," said lead singer Tom Higgenson about the tune. "So we dedicate it to you."

Dashboard Confessional, led by singer/songwriter Chris Carrabba, piled on more energy with its 45-minute set. Carrabba's soaring tenor was highlighted by the emo-laden compositions of "Rooftops and Invitations," which included an interlude featuring the chorus of U2's "Pride," and "These Bones."
Carrabba asked the Cab's Marshall and Crawford to join Dashboard on stage for a rousing rendition of Pink's "So What."

Panic at the Disco — vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Brendon Urie, guitarist Ryan Ross, bassist John Walker and drummer Spencer Smith — seemed a bit tentative when they started playing. But as the night went on, the band found its groove.

"We're So Starving," "She's a Handsome Woman," "Lying is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have," "Middle of Summer" and "Time to Dance" were highlights of the crowd-pleasing set.

Although far from a sell-out, the show, which was hosted by an emcee named Ridiculous, will be in the hearts and minds of all those who attended Thursday night.
