The lights went out and the crowd began to scream. With the soothing intro music playing everyone was getting giddy. For some it was their first show and only time they will see Matthew back on stage, and for others it was another show to the list of dates they have planned to do. Then Dan Torelli came on stage and everyone is screaming louder. He gets ready to kick in with the drums. Then to door opens and you see Mateo Camargo come on. He was then followed on by the man of the night Matthew Leone, at this point the room is full of people screaming and people crying with the emotion for the fact that Matthew Leone is BACK! the protector Nathan Leone followed him on. They kicked in with Imagineer. The crowd goes crazy. Later on Nathan starts thanking the crowd for saving his brothers life, not only his brothers life but his soul mate and saying thank you for saving his own life and the life of Madina Lake. They sing Howdy Neighbor, Nathan changes the lyrics to ‘you begged for help from an innocent angel’ I of all people felt the chills from the change of lyric. Nathan tells the crowd to get down, making them kneel on the floor he goes on to say ’ In life you will get kicked to the ground and when you think life can’t kick you down even more you are wrong and it kicks you further down to the gutter..just remember its not about how many times you get knocked down its about how many times you get the fuck back up so when it kicks in fucking let all that shit go 1 2 3 go’ The crowd just goes mental. He then gets them back on the floor to do it again. Everyone is full of smiles and goes with it and loses them selves in the moment, this is what the Madina guys stand for. Living for the moment and forgetting about the past and not worrying about what is going to happen in the next 5 minutes or whatever. They play They’re Coming For Me. Everyone looks emotional, Matthew starts crying. The song is just one of them songs that represent what that bands has been through and you can see the amount of passion they have left and how much they thank the family.

They finish with Pandora and they jump down to get a group picture. The cutest thing ever is when you see Nathan Lifting Matthew off the stage not only showing you how fragile Matthew still is but it is showing the connection and the bond between brothers that can NEVER be broken. I think that is a message in it’s self. Within this family of the River People. We all have each others back and when ever someone falls there is always another River Creeper there to catch you.
