EDIT: Since ol' Chuck was too sauced to really elaborate on what happened, I will recap this event from here on out.

At this point, Charlie made it clear to me that he was "enjoying the shit out of that" and that he felt Kings couldn't possibly top that set. I scoffed. Kings of Leon proceeded to rock the face off of anyone willing to have a fantastic night. Cincinnati responded to the challenge, providing an even better atmosphere than the reception KOL received at PNC Pavillion on their previous Cincinnati stop. Coming out of the gate strong with the filthy bass line of "Crawl" and never looking back, the show consisted of equal amounts of music from every Kings of Leon album, including the yet-to-be-released Come Around Sundown, which was a true treat for real fans of the band. The new songs blended in well with their previous catalogue and yet continued to advance their repertoire with the soulful chorus of "Radioactive" and the ode to southern living "Southbound", it is becoming increasingly clear that the Followills can still write a rock record, despite the haters and newfound popularity. Another treat was the first live performance of a new song entitled "Pyro." The climax of the night was a thumping rendition of first-album classic "Trani." The song epitomized the bands true identity, and even though they have aged, they brought the thunder as if it were 2003.
