Chris Carrabba was not just singing to a crowd he was singing right beside them. This was clearly a different type of engagement. I mean normally you see a crowd engaged at a show but, no. From the very first song the crowd was fully engaged. Dashboard Confessional took the stage to the Top Gun soundtrack which I hope was to commemorate the 4th of July either way, very rad. The Kansas City stop for this tour may have been one of the only inside venues for Dashboard, which may have contributed to the explosive set but I don’t want to downplay what I was about to witness. Despite the bands break Kelsey was just as excited to see them live again considering this was her second or third time seeing Dashboard this year. Kelsey had been to fifteen or so Dashboard shows in the past nine years. Louis native and Dashboard Confessional diehard. While the stagehands and crew were prepping the stage for Dashboard Confessional I got the pleasure of speaking with St. The crowd was overcome with excitement as they knew Dashboard Confessional was about to take the stage. It wasn’t seconds after Augustana exited the stage that one thing became immediately clear. Dan took the piano and signed farewell to Kansas City with his angelic vocals. When Dan Layus set his guitar to the side everyone knew what was in store.

The set ended with their critically acclaimed hit “Boston”. Augustana may have been the spark that lit what was about to be a fire storm at The Uptown Theater. Each time someone took the mic you could see the passion flowing through them. Dan Layus is not the only one to deserve praise, each member of the band was obviously putting forth a hundred and ten percent. The set was only six songs long but that didn’t hold Augustana back one bit. Dan Layus opened that stage with his amazing voice and set a tone that was almost hard to be matched. This is the first major tour for Dashboard Confessional since Chris Carrabba embarked on his solo expeditions in 2010.Īugustana opened the stage at The Uptown with their new single “Ash and Ember” and it was obvious the crowd was immediately attracted. Despite the clash of clichés among the crowd everyone was just as damp as one another and just as excited to witness what Chris Carrabba, lead singer for Dashboard Confessional, referred to as “The best show they’ve played all year.” If you haven’t heard already Dashboard Confessional and Third Eye Blind are co headlining a huge tour across the US and Dashboard fans everywhere are rejoicing. The only atmospheric instability I could witness was the convergence of bros and emos at The Uptown Theater in Kansas City.

Just hours before Augustana, Dashboard Confessional, and Third Eye Blind Took stage, phones across northeast Missouri were blowing up with tornado warnings, severe weather alerts, and flash flood warnings.
