First opener was fine, second opener was late and we just started getting sick of waiting... and then... and then...

Sleigh Bells gets on stage. They start with Crown on the Ground. People lost their shit. I lost my shit. Everybody lost their shit! I tried taking a lot of pictures, but by the second song, I didn't care. I will never, ever lose my shit like that ever again.

The crowd was completely nuts. Everybody was just hollering, screaming, jumping, throwing hands up in the air. Being part of that just put me in another world. 

I can't remember how many times people shoved me one way, tripping up my balance. No one cared and no one cared if I did the same. I got so worn out halfway through it that I just started leaning on people while still trying to put my hands up and they really didn't care. So awesome.

Then some guy went crazy and started tackling people or something. At first, all it did was piss me off, but he looked like he was having a good time, so I tackled back. I just start cracking up with this... complete stranger. And then everyone got into it. It got so bad that I lost my friend in the crowd and wound up on the opposite side of where I started. Just the energy there, unbelievable. I suppose this is old news for people who go to these things a ton, but man, that collective energy was really something.
