The Passion of the Chris [REVIEW]

Here’s a review from Entertainment Weekly from the concert in Radio City Music Hall in NYC [Aug 12]…
She liked Say Anything’s 30 min set more (i did too)
One year after touring with stadium fillers U2, Dashboard Confessional are drawing decent crowds of their own — on Aug. 12, in fact, they sold out New York’s Radio City Music Hall. The crowd was made up mostly of teenage girls and women in their 20s — all of them obsessed with frontman Chris Carrabba, to the presumed dismay of the unfortunate young lads they’d dragged along. (Also in the house: Carrabba’s No. 1 fan, his mother, whom he dutifully acknowledged during the show.)
The band is the brainchild of Carrabba, and tellingly, from the moment Dashboard stepped on stage, the spotlight was trained on him. It was almost painful to watch the rest of the band, including special guest violinist Susan Sherouse, who often performs and records with the group, slip into the shadows. Perhaps Dashboard Confessional will always be a solo act, the way Carrabba intended it to be back in 1999.
