Tonight was the FUN/Jack's Mannequin concert at Marquee Theatre in Tempe. Needless to say, but I will anyways, the show was incredible. I've always had a deep love for Andrew McMahon's music -- way back since the beginnings of Something Corporate. He being a pianist, cancer survivor, musician, artist, is so compelling. I saw him perform in 8th grade right after Everything in Transit was released. Since then, they released their sophomore album, The Glass Passenger. This tour was the close-up to Passenger before taking a break and heading back into the studio.
Somehow, I managed to make my way up to the front of the crowd. My friends were already there, but being short, they pushed me forward. I was mere feet from the stage, staring right up at one of my musical inspirations. He had such stage presence, such passion for every word that left his mouth. I loved every second. I wish I could re-live the experience. I'm attatching a video that was part of the show. His energy was infectious -- just check out the vid. The audio is poor (taped it from my phone), but watch it all the way through. Andrew is the definition of B.A.

Holy cow Alex! I'm so jels right now!!! I wanted to go to this show in SLC, but didn't have anyone to go with.:/ The fact that you saw them at the Marquee makes me even more jealous now too. Probably my second or third favorite venue. I enjoy the little ones which allow more intimacy with the bands... Anyways, thanks for the post for reals! Glad you had fun!
