The plumb and jars concert I went to was at "The Electric Factory" in Philadelphia Pennsylvania on November 16th. Before the concert I went and got to meet Jars at an in-store appearance at the King of Prussia mall and I gotta say that they are all so sweet :-) 
I asked Steve to please sign the picture I took of him playing the guitar with his teeth and he said that he absolutely loved that picture so I went over to him later on and gave him another copy of that same picture that I had with me. He thanked me about 20 times then gave me a hug :-D After the in-store appearance, we went to the electric factory and stood inline in the freezing cold for an hour and a half. It was SO worth it though. They finally opened the doors at 7:00 and I got an awesome spot right in the front between Matt Odmark and Dan Haseltine... You'll be able to see all my 2 rolls of concert pictures as soon as I get 'em scanned and in here. Finally, at 8:00 the lights went down and on came Plumb with their song "Send Angels". Tiffany Arbuckle (the lead vocalist) came out on stage with Angel Wings on. After that song, they did a little ditty called "Concrete" that was written by Dan Haseltine (of Jars for those of you who dont know :-) and it absolutely rocked! 
After that, they did "Crazy", "Who am I?", "Sobering", "Unforgivable", and "Pennyless". If you've ever heard that last song, You probably already know that it was written about a girl Tiffany knew in high school who had was searching for hope. This girl had become bulimic and even tried to commit suicide a number of times.Tiffany explained that everyone without God is searching for hope and the only REAL hope there is, is found in Jesus. She said that God already has made out a "blue print" of your life, he knows what your going through... he's just waiting for you to turn to him for help. "Pennyless" is a pretty sad song but it explains a member of my own family very well. I told Tiffany after the show about what my famliy has been going through and she totally encouraged me. She told me about how when she was 16 or so, she was diagnosed with cancer and she thought for sure she was going to die... she turned to God for help and come to find out it was either a wrong diaginosis or God had healed her or cancer... whatever it was, Tiff thanxs God daily for it. After Plumb was done ... the bassist and the lead guitarist decided they were gonna crowd surf...and let me tell you something... I have never in the history of long jumps seen anyone fly like that! They both jumped (one at a time of course....safety first :-) They didn't get hurt of course 'cause of the number of people crambed in there. It was an awesome sight! They then went off-stage... it was about a half hour intermission and I didnt wanna move 'cause I had such an awesome spot (a great view for picture taking as you can see :-) Not that I could move anyway, there was SO many people there that some people were passing out and stuff 'cause of the huge crowd deciding to mosh... That didnt really bother me though, I just waited it out till the Jars went on...
They came out playing "Weighed Down" and bubbles were falling from the ceiling. Next was Crazy Times and of course Steve did his patented "play the guitar with his teeth" thing. (I got another picture just like this one!) 
Anyhoo... Next they did "Like a Child" then went right into "Boy on a String"... then was "Overjoyed" which is truley an awesome song live. Then they played a few other little dittys like "Tea and Sympathy", "Five Candles (you were there)", "Love Song for a Saviour" and that hidden track ditty "Blind". After that they broke out into a John Denver song "Country Roads" which was pretty spiffy! They finally got to the "Coffee song" (on of my favs. :-) and like always, Matt Odmark pretended he was a cappicino maker and did his little noise... they did that song very well might i add and when they got to "I need something with a really big kick"... they all kicked at the same time. Creative 'eh? Next they did "Worlds Apart" and Tiffany Arbuckle came out on stage and did the background vocals and they were both crying by the end of the song... After that... they broke out into "Drummer Boy" (it being 'round Christmas time and all :-) Welp...let me see....next they did "Truce" which was so extremely spiffy 'cause of the fact that i was so close to the stage I saw the chords Matt played for that song and he is by far, one of the most talented guitarists I've ever had the privaledge of seeing. After that... they did the ever popular "Fade To Grey" (which is the best song on the cd if you ask me) They then left the stage for a few then came back and were in a very waterey mood :-) 'cause they went right into "Flood" and after that "Liquid"! They closed with 4:7. It was all in all, one of the most intersting nights I've ever experienced... welp, I'll have more details in here as soon as i can get the time to type 'em... God bless all who is reading this and Click here!! to check in and see if my "Snappy" pictures of Jars of Clay and plumb are in here yet... I need to get 'em scanned first so please be patient... thanx!
