Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has a positive review of a concert.

Carrabba has been on a gradual mission to take Dashboard Confessional to another level, and with this album and tour, it seems to be arriving. That could be good news for an industry desperately in need of young headliners. — Well, he’s not exactly young… :)

Unlike most singers, Chris Carrabba has a lot of voice left at the end of the show to really belt out the encores. That’s because the faithful followers of Dashboard Confessional come to the concert equipped with every word and ready to sing.

Once again, they made for a wonderful (mostly girls) chorus Saturday night at the Chevrolet Amphitheatre.

Mind you, it’s not like the old days of Dashboard, when it was an acoustic campfire sing-along. Dashboard has evolved into a sturdy rock band with a sonic range approaching that of U2, which the band toured with last year.

Playing in front of a stunning backdrop that looked like the set from “Rent,” Dashboard struck with two or three guitars, rhythm section and extra textures from violinist Susan Sherouse.
