Chris Carrabba’s Dashboard Confessional, long known for his visionary songwriting skills that have grabbed hold of the heart of many an emo child, started out the co-headlining night with a lot of energy.  The crowd screamed the lyrics to old favorites like “Screaming Infidelities”  and newer songs including “Thick as Thieves.”  Dashboard closed out their set with a kickass cover of Pink’s new single “So What” with members of The Cab helping them out.   All in all, the crowd felt pretty  “Vindicated” after their solid set.

Panic at the Disco, hot off their summer headlining gig on The Honda Civic Tour had changed the look of their set up a bit but still maintained that feel of The Beatles reincarnated.  The aroma of incense was afloat while smoke filled the air. With a generous mix of songs from their debut album A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out mixed in with new favorites from their latest release Pretty. Odd. The set list was a winner from start to finish. The band may have taken the exclamation point out of their name but it remains in their set offering up a kaleidoscope of sing-a-long hits.
