Hello, my name's Lindsay and I'm from Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada! I just thought I would write and give you my review of the Silverchair concert in Toronto on the 25th of April. Well for starters, I would say the average age was 14 which really sucked, it made me feel pretty old...I'm 19. It was kind of funny seeing all of these little kids getting dropped off by their parents, they actually had a parents waiting room at the concert, crazy! But I must say my friends and I didn't have much trouble finding a parking spot, we were the only one's old enough to drive! Anyway, I wasn't really impressed with the opening bands because I was really anxious to see Silverchair, in fact it was kind of dull until Silverchair came on, but once the did...WOW, it was great! Daniel is soooo funny, the comments he was making were hillarious. The mosh pit was great, I didn't body surf because I didn't think all of those kids could hold me up( I'm feeling like a bit of a jerk...I mean I'm not that much older but I guess when you think about it I'm in second year college and they are still in junior high, I guess I just found it really weird)But anyway Silverchair was amazing! WOW! So that's my review...not very detailed but really all I can say is WOW!

Hi I went to the April 25th concert and I'm giving you my reveiw because I think that the other person who sent in her review only had one positive thing that was that silverchair rocked! Well first off I'm fifteen and I think that she shouldn't be complaining that most of that people were fourteen! There was an equal share off people from ages 14-20 I think and who do you think buys the majority of their music? Teenagers of course so they would most likely be attending silverchairs concert! I think that Handsome and Local H were really great! It's always harder for a opening band to please tha crowd because their not who the people are there to see. I would of liked Handsome a bit more if i had'nt of gotten trampled on. But that was okay because I ended up meeting two much music Vj's! Anyways silverchair was great and they dedicated the song Abuse me to the band members of Handsome for teaching them to masturbate! The lead singer of Handsome also came on stage with silverchair and sang lead vocals with silverchair on a Minor Threat song. At the end of the concert Ben trashed the shit out of his drums! This might sound corny but I threw small neon pink elephant toy with a multi coloured mohawk on stage and it hit Chris's bass by accident. It had a chain around it's neck that had tiny dog tags on it and they had it's name Watson. Chris picked it up and showed it to Daniel and he said held it up and said I dedicate this song to Watson and our manager! It was pretty cool! I also was at the silverchair Intimate and Interactive. See ya.
