Coheed and Cambria teamed up with Mastodon for the Unheavenly Skye Tour, with Every Time I Die opening. I went to two shows on this tour, Coney Island in Brooklyn, and Camden, NJ.

Ford Amphitheatre — Coney Island 6/7/19

There was a meet-up at a brewery near the venue, and Coheed stopped by, but me being me, I was a little late and missed them. Whoops. But the good thing was, I was already tipsy by the time I got there.

I had to get a hot dog from Nathan’s before going in the venue of course, because Coney Island.

I couldn’t get into Every Time I Die. They just sounded loud to me. Not melodic, just loud. But a bunch of my friends love them, and it was fun to watch them enjoying it, Niki and JBat especially.

Yes, they did the macarena in the pit. I loved it.

I wasn’t crazy about Mastodon either. I sat them out. They’re talented, but I was mostly bored.

Then it was time for Coheed. I stayed in or near the pit the whole show.

Oh my god the intro was amazing. Claudio’s profile was shadowed on a white screen, it was so good.

Niki jumped off Biz’s back during “In Keeping Secrets.”

I had a terrible crowdsurf during “Gravity’s Union.” A bunch of us all went up at about the same time, and I got dropped like five times.

Jason was working this show, but he wasn’t the one who caught me on my one terrible crowdsurf. I was v sad about that.

“The Pavilion” live was BEAUTIFUL. I love love loved that song.

BB&T Pavilion — Camden, NJ 6/8/19

After the Coney Island show, I rode back to (almost) Philly with Peter and Anna for the Camden show. Camden is actually closer to Philly than where they live is surprisingly, seeing as I consider it that they live in Philly and Camden is technically in a whole other state, but ya know.

Live Nation blocked off a whole parking lot??? Is that even legal???

There was a sign and wristbands about mosh pits which was AWESOME. I’m gonna need every venue ever to adopt this philosophy, thanks.

I talked to Ern and Travis at merch for a bit. Obviously Ern knows me at this point, but Travis was acting like he knows me too which made me happy.

Watching JBat in the pit for Every Time I Die >>>> watching Every Time I Die. He made that friggin performance tbh.

Peter, Anna, and I sat on the lawn during Mastodon, but then it got really cold all of a sudden, so I went back inside to just like… not even watch.

This show wasn’t sold out so they were upgrading people from the lawn to seats which was nice. But of course we were in the pit for Coheed. It’s a much bigger venue than Coney Island as a whole, but the pit was TINY in comparison. It should’ve been moved back like ten feet at least.

I was on the barricade for a little while during this show, but the crowd shoved me into the barricade, so I tried to just chill for a bit. But THEN a security guy crushed me trying to get to a crowdsurfer. This is why I hate when security doesn’t do their jobs right. You have to catch crowdsurfers without crushing the people on the rail to do so. I don’t… see how that’s a difficult concept? But like, it happens. Anyway, yeah, it happened here, so I spent the rest of the show in the back of the pit kinda by myself since everyone else stayed on the barricade.

I didn’t mosh because, alone and lightheaded, ya know. But I was close enough to watch what was going on in the pit.

I cried a little during “Gravity’s Union” and “The Pavilion” and honestly also “Welcome Home.” I dunno man, it was a weird night for me.
