Well about a week ago I went to a concert and I must say it was kickass. This concert is held by a local radio station 89.7 the River and have this concert every year, but of course with different bands that rock. They also hold many more concerts through out the year and have great talk shows and music on their radio station.
This year at River Riot 07 the line up was great, way better than last year, even though my favorite band was there. Also I saw my favorite band again earlier this month at a concert so it was all good. Anyways here is the band line up: Fuel, Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Hinder, and non other than INCUBUS! There were about one or two more but I wasn’t there for them and can’t remember their name sorry.
All I can say was that it was insane. And Oh yeah it was SOLD OUT!, we sold out a firkin outdoor amphitheater, no seats, it is just one huge general admission and wow there were so many people, I’ll have some pictures at the end of the post. It started about 2 PM and I got there about 3, just in time for some Fuel. Then wait for Buckcherry to get all ready and they were pretty good, not my favorite but still good, specially their hit song named “Crazy B&*#h”, it just has a great tune to it, give it a listen on iTunes or whatever, or better yet request it at your local radio station if they will play it even. 
Then I think while they were playing a plane with a banner on it went around several times with the banner saying something about Asian Albion’s released a new CD on MySpace, and I was like wow, nice name then forgot about them and never went to their site since they don’t sound like a great band with that name, that is probably why they are still on MySpace haha.
Next up after them were Papa Roach! They were insane, I mist them a couple years ago at River Riot 05 but I got to see them this year and they are great live, and I love their music. Then after them Hinder got on stage, and they had a very elaborate set up even though they only have one big album, I guess they got a huge check from their contract and decided to invest a lot in the stage stuff, they also some great songs and good live. Also the lead singer from Papa Roach came back on stage and helped Hinder with “Bourne to be Wild” and that was insane.
After them the head lining band took the stage and their name is… Incubus! They are kickass live. Plus they have so many great songs to play for the crowd, and the lead singer kept thanking us for being such a great crowd, and kept saying thanks boys and girls haha, which is pretty cool since he knows he would not be there without us, the fans. They played their songs, then came back out and played their encore song and the concert was over at about 11:30 or so. But diffidently not the end of this story, oh no sir y.
Now we get to the after the concert story. Well first parking there sucks, it is basically one exit for each parking lot, field, onto a one lane two way highway. So basically we did not get out fast enough since we wanted to hear all of Incubus we got stuck in the lot and just decided to wait for everyone else to leave just to make it easier. So we sat there and waited and listen to some music for about three hours. When basically the whole lot was cleared we started to get going but the battery was dead, we kind of forgot about the battery when we left the CD player on listening to music that whole time. So while my bro looked for cables I stayed by the car, and out of no where this drunk dude staring running down the hill towards the car and slowed right before me and hugged me and I was like what the.. and he told me before I get going take a moment and pry for everyone so we all get home safely and I was like sure and he wondered off, stupid 20s people and their drunkenness haha. So we looked for people with jumper cables, even asked a cop, they did not have any, then we found someone with cables but no gas, so we found someone to jump us yay for him. Then the people who gave us the cables we returned the favor and gave them a ride to a gas station, then we went home, but we were hungry so we went to Taco Bell at about 2 AM good thing they are open till three, then we went home and I ate the good food watch a bit of TV and went to bed.
Now for pictures! Well I personally did not take any pictures since they don’t allow great cameras in unless your press so I am just going to wait for pictures from 89.7 The River to post some. But I will post a few that I have found on the internet, which is basically one.
