Show Notes: 

We don’t make too many trips each year to the Garden State. Maybe that’s why when we do, its always a big show. This was no exception. 8,400 fans braved the scorching heat and thick humidity to pack out the 5,000 seat venue inside a Six Flags theme park. The crew had a surprisingly smooth travel experience which led to a surprisingly smooth setup and soundcheck. Third Day was the only band performing which is a rarity during the summer festival season. Shows in the summer seem to always have a ton of bands, typically causing tons of chaos behind the scenes. This was a terrific exception. We were able to have a more relaxed pace, which helps offset the stress of using unfamiliar rental equipment. The band went on at 6pm just as the sun was beating down on the stage and sweated through a rocking 90 minute set, with a few impromptu tunes: “Born Again”, and “Show Me Your Glory”. The crowd was electric, and it was very obvious the band was feeling their response. For some reason our shows in New England tend to have a feeling of intimacy between the band and audience--even with a crowd this size. -- Nathan
