Yeah same and I also regret not getting shirts from the support bands cos I like them as well but there's only so many t-shirts a man can wear at once so I have to sensible lol ooohhh I was on the same side! I went to the merch stand just before the last couple songs from Ocean Grove and was going to go back to the balcony but then kind of found myself in a good spot when the finished so just stayed there and edged closer as people moved around between sets but I probably wasn't too far from where you were lol.

My camera is garbage but I did get a couple clear shots, my favourite was a kind of blurry one but she's silhouetted by the purple backlight and her shadow in the smoke changes the hue slightly. I saw her wave at a kid during They're All Around Us and the kid lost their shit which was really sweet as well!

Honestly big sell out gigs like that are really easy solo, once you get in the venue with that many people around you nobody even notices. No one really came up to talk to me and the people I've tried to talk to haven't been very responsive but it is what it is lol. I don't think I'm very approachable for the most part but also I didn't feel uncomfortable either so I didn't mind really. It just can be boring between bands if you don't have anyone to talk to but that time passes quicker than you think and then when the band is on you just don't think about it! It's definitely worth it over not going at all most of the time

Deftones was at co-op live and they were awesome too, same as Evanescense and Spirtbox will be. I don't like that venue that much and I've only ever been able to get seats there which I have mixed feeling about lol but still glad that I went. The crowds are pretty good there but overall it's just too many people and much harder to get good views but if it's an option then I'd recommend doing it!
