A Day To Remember, All Time Low, and Pierce The Veil House Party Tour Atlanta 10/16/13

Well, the long awaited album, Common Courtesy, from A Day To Remember was finally released. I was scheduled to see them two days later in Atlanta and I was so excited. I cannot tell you how long I waited for the album to come out. If you are an ADTR fan, you understand. I left my last class early so I could make it to Atlanta on time for the show. Even though I left early, I still missed The Wonder Years. I was a little bummed, but I saw them at Warped this past summer, so that helped my spirits a little. With that being said, the first band I saw was Pierce The Veil. I started out in the seat section of the amphitheatre because that is what my ticket said. I then realized that I could move to the floor and that is exactly what I did. Pierce The Veil was absolutely precious. If you follow any of their fan pages or have any knowledge of the individual members, you should understand why I think this. They played

Bulls In The Bronx
Hell Above
Bulletproof Love (My song)
Stained Glass and Colorful Tears
Hold On Till May (Half of the crowd was in tears)
Caraphernelia (Jeremy from ADTR ran out and did his part. Cue crowd freakout)
King For A Day

ATL in the ATL is always a good show. I always love seeing All Time Low because they are so funny. Alex Gaskarth and Jack Barakat, or Jalex, have the best "relationship" of any band members I have seen. They are extremely flirty. Be prepared to laugh your ass off. When "Ni**as in Paris" by Jay-Z blares over the loud speaker, you know All Time Low is about to take the stage. They played

The Reckless and The Brave (So Long, and Thanks for All The Booze intro)
Weightless
Lost In Stereo
Damned If I Do You (Damned If I Don't) (My favorite!)
Coffee Shop Soundtrack
Time Bomb (Pulled a guy out of the crowd to sing this song with them)
Backseat Serenade
A Love Like War (Featuring Vic Fuentes from Pierce The Veil)
Dear Maria, Count Me In (Best crowd song during their set)

At last, it was time for A Day To Remember. It was so hard for me to contain my excitement because I was so excited to hear songs from Common Courtesy. Since this was The House Party Tour, the stage set up, rocked. They started with a video of the band on a pull down screen where the whole band was at Jeremy's house and they were going to throw a house party. Jeremy was not very enthused. The video was really cheesy, but it suited the entire performance we were about to witness. The stage was overtaken by a gigantic house with and attached garage. Alex Shelnutt, drummer for ADTR, rode out of the garage on his drum kit. Perfection. They played

All I Want
I'm Made of Wax Larry, What Are You Made Of?
Fast Forward To 2012
2nd Sucks
Right Back At It Again (Common Courtesy song! Yeah!)
A Shot In The Dark
You Be Tails, I'll Be Sonic
Over My Head (Cable Car) (The Fray cover) (I FINALLY GOT TO FREAKING HEAR THIS LIVE. I WAS SO FREAKING EXCITED)
You Had Me At Hello (WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT! Me and everyone else in the crowd started crying. It was so emotional to hear that song live for the first time. They never play it live)
If It Means A Lot To You (Only Jeremy and Kevin were on stage for the first half of the song. When the beat drops at the end of the song, the whole band reappears)
It's Complicated (Jeremy got in the hamster ball)
Mr. Highway's Thinking About The End (One of my favorites)
Dead & Buried (COMMON COURTESY. YEAH!)
The Danger In Starting A Fire (Cue crowd breakdown and freakout)
Have Faith In Me
Monument
The Plot To Bomb The Panhandle (All the crowd moments during this song make it so much better live even though it is not my favorite)

(Encore)

Violence (Enough Is Enough) (COMMON COURTESY. YEAH!)
All Signs Point To Lauderdale (During this, all the VIP people ran out and snow started falling off the roof top. Santa Claus appeared and started throwing stuff everywhere.)
The Downfall Of Us All (Always my favorite crowd moment in the intro. When it was over, someone dressed as a cop ran out on stage and ended the "House Party". There was even an overhead helicopter that was flying over the house. The screen lowered again and they showed an ending video of the party being over)

Can we just live this day over again?
