The Rail

ABSOLUTE BLAST! I went to the weatherford show last tour, and i enjoyed every minute, and just when i thought it couldn't get any better.. IT DID!! The opening act was amazing, and Jake and Shelby did a great job. Honestly, I never heard of them before this concert, but i absolutely love their music now. They played some unreleased songs for us that i need to come out NOW! they were 🔥, i got actual chill. But Stephen brought the heat! Both literally (since he played "The Heat") and figuratively (because he went all out), the sound quality was better than last year. the stage, my shirt, and even my forehead at specific songs were shaking from the bass. The guitar was lit and perfect. The drums were on point! And good lord Stephen's vocals were crazy as always. He played all of the songs i was hoping for and surprised me with several that i didn't think he was going to play. He was very nice and did some great crowd work, which made it 10 times better. He gave some meaning and insight behind some of the songs that were new, telling us how, when, and why he wrote them. He gave us a new look at a few of the older songs with a new twist. It was mainly just the chorus for those, but goodness GRACIOUS do i need them to get released as variant covers. Another thing that got even better than last year and left me completely speechless and in awe was the incredible light show they had with the stage. It blew me away and made the performance that much more impactful. The concert was perfect, just perfect 👌. After the concert was good as well, Stephen made an appearance off of the stage and met all of the people that wanted to see him, i got to talk with him for a moment before getting a picture, i got complimented for my "vintage" divided frame of mind shirt. It was an absolute blast, i also got to meet Jake and Shelby, who were at their merch booth waiting to great anyone that came by. It was an absolute experience! Also, on a side note, Stephen's dad, brandon, was there. He is a pastor from Georgia who talked on stage for about 5-10 minutes on stage between acts announing the Companion charity they were partnering with, a free book he wrote that he was giving out, (i got signed when i met him) and he gave a quick sermon and talked about how stanley got here, it was a great introduction before stanley got on stage, at which i got talk more about because it was AMAZING, but i need to end this review. 20/10 would recommend. TLDR: It was great, absolute blast. It feels like a high grade big concert, which will still be a somewhat small one that allows stanley to have a small unique connection. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED WITH CAUTION, it will spoil your ears and eyes. You won't hear the music the same afterward.
