As the stage illuminated blue and their album cover appeared on the backdrop, Papa Roach hit the stage. Jacoby Shaddix (vocals) decked out in his Lovers And Lunatics merch, Jerry Horton (guitars), Tobin Esperance (bass), and Tony Palermo (drums) all entering the stage to give the crowd a rock and roll show. The title track “Face Everything and Rise” off their new album being released on January 27th, instantly began as they entered the stage they demanded the crowds attention and participation along with causing the crowd to head bang and jump around. Papa Roach is known to put on one hell of a show with high energy levels that they receive off of the crowds participation and I got to say this show exceeded my expectations by 100%, their performance was something I haven't seen before from the crowd interaction and the bands incredible stage presence. Jacoby then shouted to the crowd “Let’s get this mother fucking place jumping!” as they entered into “Still Swinging” the entire venue shaking from the jumps from not just a few people but the entire venue up off their feet before going into a fan favorite “Getting Away With Murder”. Jacoby then thanking the crowd for “Coming out and supporting rock and roll tonight” before taking it back a few years to the old school Papa Roach with a song off their album Infest titled “Between The Angels And Insects”. Their setlist was filled with a variety of songs and there was a song on their for the enjoyment of each Papa Roach fan including “Where Did the Angels Go?”, “Scars”, “Forever” & “Lifeline”. As the crowds cheers filled the venue Jacoby shouted “See that right there? That’s The Philly that I Fucking Love” “See that energy you guys have, the more crazier you guys go the crazy we go up here”. As the beats to “Broken Home” filled the venue Jacoby began the song with a sick rapped verse from “Lose Yourself” which is an Eminem song before going right into “Broken Home” which got the crowd very amped up to hear. Ending their incredible 15 song setlist with “Broken as Me”, “To Be Loved”, “Burn” & of course their widely known chart-topping hit “Last Resort”. Where when Jacoby began singing “Cut My Life Into Pieces” the crowd began singing even louder, it was like a sing off between Jacoby & the fans. Ending out the night with the crowd chanting Papa Roach, as the band bowed to conclude their set. The stage then fading to black as the show came to an end.
