The Used Niagara Falls reviews
Used and a bit worn
Nostalgia was in full bloom at the Electric Factory where every die hard "real" fan turned out to see an act and hear the songs from the "Untitled" CD that defined the early "Warped Tour" era. I have rarely seen the venue more packed. Every fan sang every word. It was beautiful and actually reminded me of old Joni Mitchell concerts with everyone holding up lit matches in a sea of harmony. Back around 2002, I remember seeing the Used open for and obliterate Box Car racer on this same stage. Burt owned the evening and had to be one of the most electric entertainers I have ever seen. The songs, the power...it was everything. Almost 15 years later, things have gotten tamer. It's remarkable that Burt can even sing a note today because he gave it all back in the day. We knew we had to reset our expectations- so we did and loved it anyway.
