9/16/02 The Blowhole Gainesville, FL
GREAT SHOW!!!! Blindside played a free show in the Blowhole in Gainesville, FL with opening bands SoulFound and Von Ray. Blindside was awesome. They play with so much energy and have so much fun on the stage. I hadn't seen them in 4 years until this show and its amazing how different they are to see live now. They just seem so much more confident and comfortable on the stage. The audience absolutely went crazy for the guys. Almost everyone there was singing/screaming along with all the songs and getting into the performance. I was front row center....so close I kept getting hit with Christian's mic cord. All, I can say is it was amazing....if you can catch them live, don't pass it up because it is worth it!

I saw them Dec 12 at the Buzz Bakesale with other bands like Good Charlotte, SR-71, Seether, n.e.r.d, and like 10 more, and Blindside was the best. Me and my best friend were right in front, and Christian jumped right on top of us. They play with so much energy. I'm never going to miss another show they are playing around this area.

I just saw Blindside at the Showbox Theatre in Seattle...MUHAHAHAHHA...they rocked hard. I've been to one of their shows last year, but I got funny looks because I knew the lyrics, but this year everyone knew them. Full of energy the band and the crowd was. Christian started walking on the crowd, whereever he stepped, 10 hands would catch his foot. The line to get Blindside merchandise was bigger than the line to get the main attractions merchandise(papa roach). It was grand. Also opening was a band called momento....tight band if I ever heard one...Blindside is still the best though.

I saw Blindside for the first time....all I have to say is WOW. I had only heard a few songs by them before the concert (Pitiful, Silence), but my friend Phil said if I liked those two I'd love the band. Talk about being spot on. The show was with Unloco, Papa Roach, and some other band we didn't catch. When we, it was a group of about 10, got there Unloco was just finishing up. Then Blindside got on and just blew the roof off the place! Their whole set was unbelievable, and I managed to push through the crowd and get up front for most of it. They finished with Sleepwalking...and Christian started walking out ON TOP OF US for virtually the whole song! We were holding his ankles as he walked over the crowd. It was frickin amazing...my friends who were by the mosh pit said everyone just stopped and stared! It was one of the best performances I've seen in awhile. I didn't even know till later that they're a Christian rock band! I'm not a fan of POD...or any other Christian rock group for that matter. But Blindside is unbelievable. Papa Roach was the headliner, but they paled in comparison to Christian, Tomas, Marcus and Simon. I'll be seeing em again when they come to the Orlando Fairgrounds!

2/12/03 Eleven50 Club-Atlanta, GA
I got to see Blindside for the fourth time last week. They played with the Kick, Unloco, and Papa Roach. I conned some of my friends to go up to Atlanta with me for the show. We got there early to find the club since we aren't from there. Tomas came walking out with a skateboard in his hand and skated up to us, probably because I was wearing my Blindside hoodie. So we all go to talk to him for a while and walk around Atlanta, trying to help him find a store. We were all supposed to get into the meet and greet, but noone knew what time it was supposed to happen, and we wound up missing it, but I'm not too upset about it cause the show was amazing!!!!! Yet again, I was front row center, and Christian grabbed my hand a few times so that he wouldn't fall over into the crowd. I got one of my friends to take pictures for me this time so that I could totally focus on the show. Most of the people at the club seemed to be there to see Blindside, which totally blew me away! We pretty much left after they played. We heard maybe 2-3 songs from Papa Roach and headed out cause we were tired. I managed to get Tomas to sign my ATCMM book first though. I couldn't find the rest of the guys to get them to sign it, so that just means I'll have to see them again!

2/28/03 Bogart's-Cincinnatti, OH
My friend and I saw Blindside when they came to Cincinnatti. Blindside wasn't the headliner, but they definitely played like they were. They were playing with the most intense emotion I've ever seen. The way they were moving with every song blew the other bands out of the water. What's even better is that after the show, we got to talk to Christian, Marcus and Simon (Tomas was nowhere to be found). Christian mentioned how they had been praying as a band and how doors were opening. Since I first came to know them, they have progressed much.

Me and 3 friends of mine just saw Blindside for the first time, and like everyone else who has posted has said, it was amazing. They play with such intensity, even though the stage was stinking 9 feet tall (no exaggeration) they still connected like no other with the crowd. They were easily my favorite band before the concert, but now that I've actually seen them in person and not just in video, it's even better. They carry themselves well as Christians too, which is most important. It was a pretty small venue and they were all hangin out after the show so we got to talk to and get pics and autographs with them. They are real, genuine people, humble and sincere. And in my opinion, they have every right to be the most cocky people alive since they are the BADDEST BAND OUT THERE!!!

Well, this was my 5th time seeing Blindside and I enjoyed it tremendously. They never let me down. The show was awesome. They played with the Kick (which puts on a pretty good show) and Me Without You which I wasn't really all that fond of, but that's ok cause Blindside made it all better! It was great hearing stuff off of the first 2 albums again. They played a medley of This Shoulder, Never, and Superman and then went on to play King of the Closet. I was slightly disappointed that they didn't play Invert, but I got over it!!!! Of course I had the best position to see the show, front row center, but that's the only way to see them! After the show the guys all went and talked to everybody and signed stuff which was great cause now my collection is complete! All in all it was a lot of fun and I was totally thrilled when Simon actually remembered me from 6 years ago and knew that I was Jenzette, but then it doesn't take a whole lot to humor me!
