Last night was a very good night.
The Pioneer tour blew me away. It was a sold out show and it definitely deserved to be. The Maine’s first set was very impressive to me. It’s very rare that people enjoy hearing a bands new songs when they don’t know the words but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. I was fascinated at the sound change from this album to the first two. You could tell the whole band grew as musicians and songwriters, especially Jared. Jared’s guitar parts on a few of the songs were so great that I wish he was turned up even louder. The whole new album showed a much more maturity in their music. I was easily impressed and couldn’t help but melt into the music.
During the intermission they played The Maine’s Mockumentary which was a crack up if you understand some things about the band. I enjoyed it because it shows that they can be mature musicians and still not take themselves too seriously.
