Ah thank you, you've really cheered me up  Feel much better now I know they didn't come out! But bad for the people waiting for ages! I was at V festival too! (three rows back in front of Caleb) and found it pretty amazing...Really enjoyed myself that time. But I know what you mean, the V fest crowd was crazy, but at least they had gig etiquette by picking girls up that fell over. These horrible men tonight sexually harrassed all the girls and pushed them to the floor, it was ridiculous. But i must admit a guilty secret that has been racking my mind since i got back, I feel incredibly guilty. I did a thumbs down gesture twice, once during sex on fire and once during another song, and I am really worried that Caleb saw my gesture. But this thumbs down gesture was not based on the music, it was intended to be at the audience around the time my friend hurt her foot :S but am very worried it might have been seen....I am probably being incredibly incredibly paranoid Lol. But I have to say, the staff at Wembley arena are incredibly lovely I'm sorry to be such a noob, but...how do I edit my profile? Thanks a lot girlies  xxx I've only ever been at the front for their shows, as in on the barrier. V I was second row on Jared's side, once I reached the barrier I was fine although I didn't stay there that long. My dad wanted to move so I had to get pulled out, otherwise I would have stayed. Before that though it felt like what the crowd looked like tonight! I take it you went to Chelmsford yes? |

Yep, I feel really bad, schnucams, i hope he didn't pick it out from the audience! But amazingly, my friend managed to last the entire set, telling me her foot was ok  until the end.....I dont know how she did it, thats dedication for you  Yup, I was at Chelmsford sarahe, lol, yep closest to london Yeah I lost a shoe during KOL, it was very hectic but worth it I don't know if anyone else caught this that went tonight, but did anyone see Nathan's really cool move? When he stood up behind his drum kit, drank some beer and then spat it upwards into the air? |

Hellooo! I don't really know what to say about it 'cause everyone else has pretty much summed it up, though the only difference for might be I absolutely loved it! Might be due to the fact I was seated for this one - really good seats. And I managed to sneak down and get even closer 'cause I begged the security guard to let us stay there. The crowd only seemed to really go crazy in a couple of songs previous to the encore, and in the encore, but i don't care 'cause I went crazy  Despite the fact the set list wasn't better than O2 or Brighton for me, I still enjoyed it waaay more than the O2 for some reason. I think it was 'cause I was able to dance like amad arse for a change rather than be squished to peices! The crowd looked absolutely crazy in the middle, loads of mosh circle being created, it was maaad. Despite the fact I just knew the boys wouldn't come out I waited around anyways, and they drove past us in their blacked out windowed cars, grr. A security guard or something had to come and tell us they'd left in the end. Stupid Followills! They could have at least told us they were gone!  Anyways, despite having a great experience seated this time, I can't wait for Paris to be standing again. Nacho was just to far away for me... [edit] Oh, and I met MrsNfollowill afterwards as well, was lovely to meet you my love! |

im pretty much agreeing with everyones reviews. basically the only reason i was a bit dis-heartened with the crowd was because the people around me really were not into it. I had quite good seats, and in the end most ppl stood up, but me and my friend were the first people to. Nobody else wanted to stand! i was like omg get up and dance! Which i did! i was dancing and jumping around like a crazy person! lol. But it pissed me off nobody around me knew trani. When it came on i was jumping around and screaming OMG!!!!! And everyone just looked at me like i was an idiot. Its just, i wish people knew more then OBTN. And nobody was really singing that much around me, and then when SOF came on i was like bloody hell! All of a sudden the whole arena knew the words.... no surprise there but uno! And also i was disappointed with the lack of 'woah woahh woaaaoooohhh's" on knocked up. I noticed caleb enphisised "i dont care if you dont CARE" again, and he was looking at the crowd like COME ON. And then eventually they got into it. I mean all of this said i still LOVED it. Me and my friend made it a good night and the boys did put so much effort into the music. They proper rocked out on trani and black thumbnail which made me rele happy! But overall it wasnt as good as i was hoping it would be. I was hoping being the last show of 2008 they would be rele happy and play loads of old songs and be really chatty with the crowd as caleb has been quite talkative lately! But it went the opposite way, they were just exhausted and wanted to pretty much go back to nashville me reckons! |

But it went the opposite way, they were just exhausted and wanted to pretty much go back to nashville me reckons! Hmm, that's odd. I really thought the 'Woahs' in Knocked Up were pretty damn good this time round... I don't know if people around me only knew OBTN, they all seemed relatively into it? Though, when Wasted Time came on we were the only once to go absolutely crazy! The woman next to us was laughing hehehe. But after a conversation with my friend the other day about Muse suddenly getting REALLY famous with Supermassive Blackhole a while back (she's a devoted Muse fan, always has been since day one) I'm finding it a lot easier to handle the new Kings fans, because I only got to know Muse since that era and I don't think I deserve to be ridiculed for it. I've realised moaning about them all the time is only bad for me. [edit] And I wasn't saying anyone is moaning! I'm talking about myself |

I had a great time last night.
Every gig I’ve been to on this tour has been different for me and I had a great time last night.
We started off on the second row in front of Matthew, but by Pistol of Fire, we moved to the side because we couldn’t breathe and I was soaked through from sweat.
Anyway, once we got to the side, my friend and I went absolutely mental and jumped around and sung at the top of our voices to every track. There were times when it was only us two dancing and singing (actually, the whole time except for SOF) but I didn’t care if people thought I was mad. They are my favourite band and I’m going to rock out to them.
Infact, I want to apologise to everyone around me. Because you could probably hear my voice over Caleb’s, especially on Trani. I hope I didn’t ruin it for you!
I think we’ve all got to get over the fact that the crowd can be quiet at these big gigs. Of course not everyone is as into them as us. We are the exception and we should feel proud that we know every song – not pissed off at people who don’t. I know I’ve been to big venues in the past to see bands and might only know a couple of their albums. Ofcourse that is going to happen in venues of this size. But hopefully those people are going to have come away loving the band now and will go and buy every album for Christmas. (Lets just hope they don’t all join here, because that will just be a nightmare!)
The only bad thing about being at the side, is you can’t see every expression on the guys faces, which means you can’t tell if they are loving it or not. So I hope they did as much as me.
It’s been an amazing tour. I’m absolutely gutted its over now. But I had a ball.
They didn’t come out afterwards. 5 gigs in one month and I didn’t get to meet them. Other than my freaking Nathan out incident. But lets not go there.
Bring on Paris. There’s no escaping the Happy Aloners there!

Glad you had such a good time Black Jeans!!! That sounds like how Belfast was for me - my friend and I just danced like loons and sang along and loved it, we didn't give a shit when it was quiet around us. Bring on Paris! |

Hi everyone, Hope you all had a great time last night! I was suprised when they opened with Use Somebody! I had a bet with my friend about what they would play first and I was sure I was onto a winner when i said it would be Crawl or Closer! I was so happy when they played Taper Jean Girl and Trani! I literally leapt into the air when they started to play Trani cos they didn't play it at Birmingham - the people around me were looking at me as if i was a right weirdo! But ahh screw them. We were about 5 rows back on Matt's side but a bit further to the left. The crowd where we were were pretty lame in that they didn't know much of the songs from YAYM and ASH. Only one other girl near me knew the words to Trani! I thought the boys, especially Matt looked like they were enjoying it. Matt was swigging from a big wine bottle all night and was laughing at the people who were in the seats on his side because they were really loving on him ha ha! There was alot of talk between the band aswell and at one point Jared was really laughing at something and looking at Caleb and Nathan but I don't know what that was about! Did anyone else see Jared come out way too early afer the break before the encore while Nacho was still tuning Matt's guitar? He had to stand there for ages on stage while everyone was cheering at him and then he kinda shuffled to hide behind his big amp, it was funny! Right before they played Black Thumbnail to finish Caleb said "Well guys......this is it." I nearly burst into tears when he said that because he sounded quite sad when he said it and I was gutted their tour is now over. I have looked forward to it for so long and the gigs always go so quick! I had a glance around the seats during Black Thumbnail and everyone, especially on Jared's side were jumping around and going mad We waited around a little while at the exit but we kinda knew it would be fruitless as i guessed they would prob just drive out. Does anyone know what time they left? We spoke to some lovely people who were also waiting, don't know if it was anyone from here? The security guard brought out some chocolate christmas log for us which he said was from the boys rider, not sure if i believed him or not lol! Also, I thought the singing during Knocked Up was really good (but then the last gig I was at was at Brum where it wasn't that great) and Caleb just took a second to stand there and listen to it |
