All American Rejects at Art Attack 2007
May 8th, 2007 by Alex
All American Rejects played at UMD’s Art Attack 2007 this past Friday evening. I was there all day lending a hand where I could, providing the 2-3 minute spotlight training to some volunteers, cabling the truss incorrectly, and generally enjoying the warm weather otherwise. Overall it was a really good time without too many noticeably snags. The Mikey/Tabisz team don’t receive enough credit for organizing/handling the event the way that they did: excellently. Pictures of the event here, here, and (unfortunately, sorry Bolly) here. Meanwhile, here’s a few YouTube videos from the headliner’s set.

The Last Song
http://youtube.com/watch?v=CLuwoGjQOig (guitar swap w/ Kadaver, prior to leaving the stage for the stands, plus intro in stands)

Otto — the AAR sound engineer — plays Collective Soul for intro/exit music, as well as prior to the (planned) encore.
Move Along

Except for the one mentioned (and embedded here), all were taken from the crowd and are a bit shaky. I wish there was some from when lead vocalist Tyson Ritter (who dates Kim Smith, the lucky devil) decided to take his act into the bleachers (or damned near to it). I take no credit for any of these, I didn’t even bring my camera. All of ‘em are plugs for LightingbyMAddy.
Update: Someone did get some shaky and noisy video from when Tyson left the stage and played from the field during “Last Song” …
