I made it alive through the Warped Tour here in Chicago. Great weather, dodged a bullet as they were predicting temps to be 95, but ended up being in the 80's.
Mostly kids at the event from middle school to High School. Older people must have been at Lalapalooza , which was here at the same time.
A lot of great bands most I never heard of (was the oldest person there)
I really enjoyed the Oreskaband, which was really great and refreshing from all the other more mainstream music. They really sounded great.
Katy Perry sucked. She was really out of key the whole show-ouch. Even my teen daughter commented on how out of key she was!! Double ouch!
There was a horrible metal band on before Katy, that I forgot the name of, that had two 7 string guitarists and a 6 string bassist, who all played a million notes per second all in the same tonal range so it just came off as WHITE NOISE, while the singer screamed the whole time. You could not distinguish any of the instruments. I love technical/prog & metal, but they played full speed the whole time in practically the same BPM all at the same intensity!
Other metal bands you could hear the instruments and sounded great. These guys seemed to be out to show off their chops and that was a total wank fest! | 
) and this brings back some nice nostalgia. That is really cool that they played the whole freaking length of the tour! That is quite an accomplishment. I am still crying over missing FLOW a while back. They would have absolutely killed at Warped Tour.
