Drove to Bridgeport and Harbor Yard Arena for the Music as a Weapon IV Tour with a young JC.

The Line-Up as I recall was four bands, but the online concert history list eight.  All I can  think is that there may have been an afternoon matinee with some of the opening bands?

What we viewed and heard was:

  • Killswitch Engage
  • Crooked X
  • Lacuna Coil
  • Disturbed

The crowd was young and rowdy, with a lot of alcohol and drug usage causing issues.

I still remember that there was a local Church Group working the concession stand, and the woman was in disbelief when I ordered a couple of coca cola.  She exclaimed "You don't want alcohol?"

People were vomiting and laying passed out throughout the stands.  It was something.

The other four bands listed on the concert guide history site were:

  • Suicide Silence
  • Bury Your Dead
  • Chimaira
  • Spineshank
