When: Sunday, December 28, 2014 Where: The Observatory, Santa Ana Accompanied by: Tiff Genre: Punk Set List: Resignation, Walk the Walk, Blind, Ordinary, I Won't Lie Dow, Can't Change the World, Handout, Everything's Your Fault, Take It Back, Complicated, Put You In Your Place, Falling, Merry Christmas, Not for Free, Don't Turn Away Encore: Bikeage (Descendants cover), You've Done Nothing Last and final night of the Triple Crown event... and if you look closely at the poster, it does say FIRST ANNUAL. Which might could possibly mean we will be able to expect this to occur again in December 2015? That would be delicious!! Tonight's show was not a sold out gig, so the crowd was a bit smaller... but that's to be expected on a Sunday night. Didn't matter, even with the reduced crowd, the feeling was that of a packed house. The boys expressed their gratitude for having such a successful three nights and you could tell they were genuinely moved by the dedication of their fans. And for those of us who were able to make it all three nights...we were rewarded with this awesome signed poster!!
When: Saturday, December 27, 2014 Where: The Observatory, Santa Ana Accompanied by: Tiff Genre: Punk Big Choice Set List: Struggle, I Know You Well, Sensible,A-OK, You Lied, Promises, Big Choice, It's Not Over, Velocity, Debt, Late, Disconnect, Bikeage (Descendents cover), Merry Christmas, Not for Free, Don't Turn Away Encore: You've Done Nothing Night #2 certainly did NOT disappoint! The crowd was just as enthusiastic and granted this album was fast and furious, the boys made sure to treat us to a set list that kept things moving. Link to amazing photos from the Lucky 13 website.
When: Friday, December 26, 2014 Where: The Observatory, Santa Ana Accompanied by: Tiff Genre: Punk Don't Turn Away You've Done Nothing, I'm Not Afraid, Disconnected, No Authority, I Want, You've Got a Problem, Everything is Everything, I'm Trying, Pastel, Nothing New, Walk Away, Do You Care?, 1,000 X Rarities and B-Sides Merry Christmas, Not Enough, I Used to Think, Dissension, Not for Free, Don't Turn Away Encore Walk the Walk, It's Not Over Holy Crap...THREE nights of Face to Face right here in our own backyard? How could we pass this up? I know for sure there are two lovely ladies that reside in Australia who were insanely jealous at how good we have it here in the U.S., especially Southern California!! And if things had worked out a bit differently, they would have been there every night, right up front, holding their own. If that had been the case, chances are I might have considered being more adventurous in taking a beating within the pit, but since that wasn't the case this time around, I found a spot safely far away from the insanity of stage. There is no doubt that F2F is a Southern California favorite! Nights #1 and #2 were completely sold out shows. The energy on the stage and throughout the crowd was out of control and full of happy vibes. Could not ask for a better atmosphere for the first of more to come!!
