My favorite show of the summer is Rock'n Derby because it was the only one I could afford to go to because we carpooled.

I went to Rock'n Derby on day 2, it was a Saturday so I did not have to worry about getting up at 4:30 AM the next day.

Out of all the bands I saw perform on that day I found myself enjoying Halestorm the most and not just because they're awesome live.

The reason why I enjoyed Halestorm the most is because as they were playing I walked around and watched the audience reaction. I saw girls of all ages rocking out to Halestorm and it made me happy to see them jumping and dancing to a legit band rather then some 'recording artist' who doesn't write their own music, or play their own instruments and rely on auto-tunes to make them sound just like they do on the radio at live shows.
