u freaking 2
OMFG
U2
FREAKING
PWNS
Anyone thats ever seen a live show knows, there is something really special about being the presence of the artist. The music coursing through you're body, the visual spender, the energy that causes everyone to stand for 2 hours and clap and sing and scream bloody hell. It's like being in the presence of greatness.
Tonight I was in the presence of greatness.
FREAKING AMAZING
Being behind the band really didn't take away much at all. The way the seats are set up, its very steap so we really had a birds eye view. In the end the music is still music and it sounded amazing. I also learned tonight that you should not go to concerts with your parents. They want to leave early.
Case in point:
after the end of the second encore (before they had even finished the song) my dad tells me we're leaving. I say no and wait till they exit the stage. Well, its still dark. Everyone knows that they turn on the lights when its over. We walked past some more seats...still dark. I warn him if they come back out I will kill him. We ride the escalator down and I hear screams and then music.
Damn.
In a frantic dash I take off (Stacey in toe) and end up passing the escalator back up. There was np turning back now so I just keep on runiing. AND low an bwhold there is an open entrance (all of the others had black curtains covering them..and the mean security wouldn't even leave them open so you could stand and listen >>) And its the wheelchair accesable area. There are people standing around the railing, and I walk up to see if there was a place for me to stand. This nice guy in a wheel chair pulls me over and lets me stand next to him. I bow graciously and offer thanks as Yahway is halfway over. In the end it was a better move, we had made it to the front and center of the stage.
Oh dad, you wanted to leave early to avoid the parking issues...in the end it just took longer becuase I had to find you after my escapades.
Hands down best concert ever.
Sorry Weezer, you just lost. ):
