I just saw AFI and Green day in Denver. Of course AFI was amazing, but wow I never thought I would miss the feeling of my ribs crushing upon impact when Davey screams. There wasn't a mosh pit and I wasn't being crushed, I felt weird not leaving the show without my hips and ribs having welts. Now of course if I would have stayed in the pit for Green day that problem would have definitely been solved, however I am not that big of a Green Day fan to suffer though that and plus Green Day really puts on a show for a stadium and you don' t need to be in the pit to enjoy it. However, Davey came on stage to sing with Billie Joe and I wanted to rush back down to the pit, I just can't stand to be that far away from him, it is torture. Anyway, AFI was amazing but the small venues are so much better! When you have an entire auditorium cramped full of people screaming every lyric Davey sings it is just amazing and to feel the crowd squashing you to during the heighten parts of the songs---just amazing. My constant complaint is always MORE AFI but for this show I really mean it. The Pop disaster tour I went to had Jimmy Eat World, Green Day and Blink 182- Jimmy Eat World had a short set but Green day and Blink's sets were about equal, both with props and stage lights, I think it should have been more like that for AFI and Green Day. Just seeing Green Day's amazing show is worth the high ticket prices. They play for almost 3 hours and Billie Joe never stops or loses energy. Wow can he perform- he sings for 3 hours straight and sounds exactly like the albums. Not only do they have like a billion and one hits that they sing but they also through in a medley of a dozen or so classic rock hits- the show was mind blowing. 
However for a frantic, obsessive, my life is AFI fan (like myself), I would definitely not pay these ticket prices to follow AFI around. Plus they have so much security, there is no way to stalk the band, even politely, which I personally try to do.
