^^^I wasn't at it but the baby thing was when Caleb dedicated Knocked Up to Nacho because he was leaving the tour today to go home to await the birth of his baby.

karma for those pics Lottie Pity I didnt get to meet u last nite I'd like to add a few things about the show So the full set was: Be Somebody Crawl My Party Taper Jean Girl Molly’s Chambers Red Morning Light Fans Milk Four Kicks Charmer McFearless Sex on Fire The Bucket Notion On Call Cold Desert Use Somebody Slow Night So Long Trani Encore - Closer Knocked Up Manhattan Black Thumbnail One word: AMAZING. WOWSA, love it I have a vid of RML so ill post it later, no good pics tho cause my camera kept taking blurred pics Piece of shit!!! Caleb said something about knowing that the papers would say he didnt talk a lot and what he did say wasnt interesting etc and I felt kinda sad for him. Loads of reviews say that after shows but I really really think in the last few months he has grown and grown in terms of confidence and presence on stage. I really think he's making an effort so kudos to him for that. The music is whats most important after all. He also said again that they had the best fans in the world, dare I say Caleb my dear, you have the best fans in the world cause ur the best band in the world I couldnt see if they were into it, were they??? (I told Sarah to give Matt some lovin from me cause I was so far away but I still gave it socks after all of his solos and the 2 blokes in front of me got in on the action too ) Lots of SOF-ers around me, which is fine but they didnt seem to have embraced the Trani/RML aspect of the Kings and sat down during Trani etc. Also, loads of people left during McFearless, a few people went to get drinks and jellys, I was wondering what the fuck u'd need a bag of jellys for at a Kings show, its not the fucking cinema And people kept moving past me etc and it really pissed me off and then loads left before the encore and very few sang the oh oh oh oh oh oooh's during Knocked Up and loads of people were saying "who's Nacho" when Caleb announced the news. Ive had a taste for the seats and i do not like it. Standing crowd looked bananas, I was sure Sarah & Sorrell etc were gonna end up with black eyes etc but thankfully all was well Cant think of anything else for now

I was there last night, I have to say without a shadow of a doubt this was THE BEST CONCERT I have every been to and I have seen The Stones, U2, Coldplay - to name but a few!
KOL are proper ROCKSTARS and do not need any fancy sets or lighting - because they have pure raw TALENT in abundance.
THEY WERE AMAZING!
I absolutely loved the set-list, it had loads of oldies, some of which have not been played live for ages, plus some OBTN ones for the newbie fans, so I think that is why everyone had such a great time. They didn't play my favourite song, Arizona, but hey, I'm going to see them in Michigan in Sept so maybe they will play it then.
I was sitting in block 114 and had a brilliant view!! Which, was such a relief, as I was expecting to be sitting behind Nathan!!
I have taken a few little vids and will post them later (if they are any good!) – got a good vid of Caleb & Matt leaving the stage.
I made a 1,000 mile round trip from Glasgow to London and it was worth every inch driven!

I don't post here very often but after last night I felt compelled to do so and I'll apologise now in case I go on! The last gig I went to was Sterophonics at Newcastle Arena in 99 so I truly did not know what to expect. After traveling all day from Middlesbrough, I was so nervous for the gig I felt quite sick! I didn't know where my seats were as it was a suite via a holiday company. I liked Glasvegas. I only knew a few songs but I enjoyed their set. I'll be the first to admit that prior to SOF, the only KOL song I knew was molly's and even then I didn't know it was them, but thanks to a mate who said "they have 3 other albums you know" I've been hooked since December. As my first KOL gig I really didn't care what they played and I didn't care that I was sat, I was seeing them and that was fine by me. But OH MY GOD what a set list. By lurking on here I knew what they had been playing and what they didn't. So to get the songs that we did, I was in awe. They are the CD but 1000 x better. When Nathan's drumming kicked in on Be Somebody and it sounded so powerful, I knew it would be a good night. Jared appeared (from where I was sat and it was a pretty good view) to look at the crowd more often than not, Matt was excellent as lead guitar, he was walking around, talking to Caleb and Caleb, well, he made an effort at talking, clearly had his shimmy on and when he ended one song on his knees I was grinning from ear to ear. Anybody else love the 5 Caleb's that appeared at one point on the big screen? I got my favourite songs, McFearless and cold desert (beautiful) and then there was the joy that was Trani. 4 Kicks sounded like it had more umph than on the CD but that could be because I've never heard it live (and its still the one stuck in my head now), Manhattan seemed to fill the arena and the opening notes of SNSL made me think crazy guitar moves here we come. When Charmer came on I thought oh this is different knowing full well, thanks to HA, that its normally in the encore and whenever I hear Milk now i'll always be able to hear last night. I could tell you about every song but I think you get the gist. It was amazing and OK people are going to want to hear other songs, me included (Ragoo) but I appreciated the whole set and I thank you. Boys you are the best act i've ever seen and all I can say is that you have one hell of a talent that i'm grateful you decided to share it with us. See you on Tues Em

The gig was really really good. Even though I was sitting behind the stage. First off, I didnt like Glasvegas before the gig and I still dont like them.
The people beside me only dance to Sex On Fire, Use Somebody and Mollys Chambers but at least they stood for the whole gig while I rocked my ass off. Setlist was good. Glad to see some of the older songs in there. I managed to take advantage of people leaving and got over to Claire for Black Thumbnail.
I ahve some photos and videos which i will put up at some stage tonight

My pics...... ^^ Ha'ers representin at the barrier You can't see us all, but if you start in the middle at the man in black bending down and then work your way towards camera you have: Sarahe, Sorrell (who you can't see), Louise, Sylvie (who doesn't post anymore, Hannah (who doesn't post anymore) Matina (ms) and then me in a red cardigan next to the blonde lady. You can't see half of us. Can you see the really tall guy in white with glasses behind me? I was covered in his sweat by the end of the gig and the bruises on my hips & ribs are starting to show.

oooohhh id be interested to hear that podcast! so my review, we where stood at the side about 5 people back. next to mark ronson and we spotted natalie imbruglia and the three girlfriends, lily even waved and smiled at katie and i later. So we just people watched during glasvegas cos it was AWFUL. i dont care for them at all! I was bored with the crowd, but me and Katie rocked out yelling "JARED TRANI!!" between almost every song. I screamed like a teenage girl at them playing r.m.l (i wish they played it faster) and then trani! we screamed crazily and rocked out the whole time! it made the gig for me , and i was glad they played mcfearless. Other than that it was a normal set Jared looked happier and was in his element for Trani and caleb looked delicious and as always i wanted to get in his pants. I wish i was there tonight, and going next week and then again. But i can cope with trani and rml for now
