"40"

"40" is what they end all of thier concerts with. after the main song is over, the crowd sings the chorus "How long to sing this song? How long to sing this song? How long...how long...how long..." Over and over as the band members leave the stage one by one. It was really cool because even after they were gone and as everyone was walking to thier cars in the parking lot, you could still hear groups of people singing. The second encore was different from the rest of the performance because it was focused on worship. "40" is based on Psalm 40, and Yahweh is a song about offering yourself to God. Though the whole arena certainly wasnt Christian, during those songs I saw quite afew people worshipping. It was really, REALLY cool. If any of you have even the remotest chance of seeing this Vertigo concert, I HIGHLY reccomend you do it. It will be one of the greatest things you will see in your life.

REMEMBER TO BRING EAR PLUGS! That I cannot stress enough. I still have greatly reduced hearing and a loud ringing in my ears.
