Remembering: Neverender

Thursday officially marked the 1-year anniversary since the tapings of Coheed and Cambria's 4-day concert series, Neverender.

For those of you who are unfamiliar, Coheed and Cambria played their 4 albums (in order) on 4 consecutive nights in 4 different cities around the world last fall. Thursday marked the anniversary of the first series of concerts at NYC's Terminal 5, which were recorded and released as a DVD and/or CD package earlier this year.

Over the course of the year I was able to watch all 4 DVD's...from The Second Stage Turbine Blade to No World for Tomorrow. I wanted to share with you guys the highlight songs from each night (in my opinion of course).


Night 1: Second Stage Turbine Blade
Song of the Night: "Everything Evil"
Why?: My favorite C&C song. Claudio's vocals are perfect and he has an awesome guitar jam at the end with Travis. Crowd is fucking insane! There is no standing still...just a constant moving wave of people. Best part is the first time Claudio sings, "Would you run?"(about 4:30 in) and the house lights flash for a split second showing dozens of fan jumping into the air with fists raised!

Night 2: In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3
Song of the Night: "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3"
Why?: Possibly the best song to ever start an album (next to "In The Flesh" on The Wall)...it just builds and builds from the beginning. Crowd sings along with every word to the song. If you want to see some awesome crowd footage of people going nuts fast forward to about the 6:55 mark and watch.


Night 3: Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV Volume 1: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness
Song of the Night: "The Willing Well IV: The Final Cut"
Why?: Opposite of night 2's opener...this song may be one of the best songs to finish an album. When I saw them play it at Bonnaroo they played a 20 minute version in which each member of the band spotlighted their talents for a few minutes each. This version may be even better. Split into 3 parts due to the song being 20 minutes plus. Enjoy if you have the time.
Night 4: Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV Volume 2: No World for Tomorrow
Song of the Night: "Mother Superior"
Why?: Starts with just Claudio...whole band enters by the end. Crowd sings word for word. Slow beginning builds to heavy end.
