An incredible experience. If you like hard rock (or "post-rock", as the label goes), you have to see this band at least once in your life. Beautiful, intense, wild, all at the same time. Only 80 minutes long, but enough to leave you with your heart in your mouth, especially after "The only moment we were alone". What a terrific ending for the show!!

Lifeguard is an excellent band. THe EITS set list was good. A bit too loud but sound quality excellent. See you again.

Outstanding show! I really liked their stage presence, how natural they were, and the sheer energy that they gave to the audience. Every nuance they put into their live performance only added to the brilliance and heart pounding (or heart rending) beauty to the songs! My family and I really enjoyed the show.
The only downside would be, when the guitars were the full on, distortion wall of sound, some mid-high frequencies built up and got harsh on the ears. (though, personally, I like hearing parts where I *might* need to close my ears.)
My first concert I ever went to was these guys on the Wilderness release tour (every bit as good!).. and I'd be content if this would be my last.
Thank you
Nashville, TN@Ryman Auditorium

About Explosions in the Sky
Explosions In The Sky is an American instrumental post-rock band, which formed in Austin, Texas in 1999. Munaf Rayani, Mark Smith, and Michael James had just moved to Austin from Midland, Texas, and drummer Chris Hrasky had just moved to Austin from Rockford, Illinois.
The band quickly gained a reputation for their live shows even amongst other established local bands such as Lift to Experience. They also garnered a small amount of media attention as a result of their second album, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever, due to rumors linking it to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks - The album was released in late August 2001, with liner notes containing a picture of an airplane and the text "This Plane Will Crash Tomorrow".
"The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place" is their third full-length album (counting "How Strange, Innocence" as their debut, see below). It shows the band has developed their characteristic sound to its full potential and the album has been critically acclaimed.
Friday Night Lights, the football movie based on the book of the same name, featured a soundtrack consisting mostly of songs by Explosions in the Sky, both original (as found on the Friday Night Lights soundtrack ) and from earlier releases. They are also frequently played in the TV-series sharing the name.
21: The Rescue, an experimental work for which the band sat down for eight days creating a song for each. The clapping and finger snapping on "Day Eight" is a good example of a harmonic restructuring of their old sound.
How Strange, Innocence, the band's debut album, was finally remastered and re-released, making it accessible to a much larger audience. The first pressing consisted of only 300 CD-Rs that the band would later regret handing out as they felt the work to be naive, musically simple and not up to their standards. They have since learned to love, as well as hate, their debut as a showcase of their emotional range and emerging talent.
The newest full-length album, entitled 'All Of A Sudden, I Miss Everyone' came out as of February 20th, 2007. The band is now on an extensive tour supporting the release.
