Munich, Backstage Werk, Dec. 16^th, 2016

This show closed my concert year 2016 and I have to say, it ended with a blast.

A few days before, the show was sold out and the place was really packed, from the beginning. The crowd was obviously into all the bands, although all three opening bands had some sound problems in the beginning. Nevertheless the audience seemingly loved their performances, considering all the crowd-surfers, mosh-pits and circle-pits that happened during their sets.

Stray From the Path

The Amity Affliction were loudly welcomed by the crowd. The audience sang along to every song, knew all the lyrics by heart. Almost constantly the security guys had to catch crowd-surfers and see to it, that they got out of the pit quickly, so no one gets hurt. The songs they played were mainly taken from their last two records ‘This Could Be Heartbreak’ and ‘Let The Ocean Take Me’. Wise choice probably, because those records really let the band grow over the last years.

Set-list:

I Bring The Weather With Me
Open Letter
Lost & Fading
Never Alone
The Weigh Down
All Fucked Up
Death’s Hand
Some Friends
Shine On
Fight My Regret

Encore:

Pittsburgh
Don’t Lean On Me
This Could Be Heartbreak
