Aww, he did thank "everyone going on the websites" Bless! edit: sounds something like, "getting on the websites...creating awareness (?) ...tellin' everyone on the streets...here we go, man, we finally did it" The crowd sound AMAZING!!!! I'm so happy for the Kings!

Caleb went over to him and said "Have fun" and that's when I realized he was just nervous. And after the last song, he looked so relieved and said to himself "That was fucking amazing". What a sweet big brother!!

Here's a little something from NYC's Village Voice /w some crazy large pictures they have at blogs.villagevoice.com/music/archives/2009/01/live_kings_of_l.php: Kings of Leon Madison Square Garden Thursday, January 29 Here we have one of those Holy Shit We're Playing Madison Square Garden shows, always a charming event -- what little banter KOL frontman Caleb Followill offers is of the "This is one of the biggest, best moments of my life right here" variety. We are sincerely thanked for "Getting on your little websites and spreading the word" (no problem, dogg); most notably, there's the declaration that "We have the best fans in the world -- one of the last true fanbases, I think." Whoa now. Let's not get carried away. Not getting carried away is the Kings' specialty: theirs is an immaculately uncluttered, vaguely Southern, delicately raucous style of rock, somewhat hedonistic but oddly sedate. ("Sex on Fire" is catchy, but far too timid to evoke either actual sex or actual fire.) Tonight they split the difference between badass and businesslike, blowing through 17 songs in their first hour, occasionally cranking up the fuzz bass, unleashing the strobe lights, settling into a (politely) nasty Motörhead* chug, etc., but mostly these are Gossip Girl makeout scene anthems, rousing and soaring, but not so much as to wake/offend the neighbors. The actually quite awesome "Use Somebody" gets at it best, stealing the oh-whoa-oh chorus from U2, and the maximum-drama chord progression from Coldplay. That one alone truly filled MSG, but a cooing/shrieking/hooting crowd took care of the rest; perhaps most of this band's charisma, danger, sex, and fire is simply outsourced to their fans. The poor gentleman loudly puking in a bathroom stall during the encore is as positive review as you could ever hope to receive. (and for Gossip Girl fans, Blair and Nate were seen at the concert, but not as a couple.. just friends. Blair had a date.- via Gawker.)

haha sapphireswell i was about to post that article! i just found it on google been stalking all day! poor boys with the puking! still excited to see more tho! i started scouring the local press during lunch! here is Brooklyn Vegan's post: "Kings of Leon & The Whigs played MSG (setlist) Kings of Leon @ Madison Square Garden - Jan 29, 2009 Kings of Leon Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has revealed that people often mistake him for singer James Blunt or an insurance salesman. The singer said a woman who works next door to the band's Bakery recording studios in London is convinced that he is a door-to-door salesman. "She asked me the other day if I was in insurance," he told XFM. "And if it's not insurance or a lawyer, it's another singer. "The other ones I get are James Morrison and James Blunt and I always say, 'Yep!' because you should never disappoint somebody." Martin joked that he would rather be confused for Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill. "If I could sing like that I'd be massive," he said. [Gigwise] The Whigs opened for Kings of Leon at the sold out show at Madison Square Garden in NYC last night (1/29). KOL's setlist below... Kings of Leon MSG Setlist: (via) Crawl My Party Mollys Chambers Closer Revelry Fans Milk Four Kicks Wasted Time Sex on Fire Slow Light So Long The bucket Notion Black Thumbnail On Call Use Somebody Cold Desert Trani encore: Knocked Up Manhattan Charmer Is that setlist correct? If not, do you know the right one? " they have alot of hipster/indie music fans out there, so i hope they don't start bashing KoL again like they did after the APW fest... but so far, love!

^^ Caleb dresses up smart for all the important events, bless his cute ass! And people, sounds like you had a ball AND you gave the boys all the love they were looking for. You made us proud! ...and a little jealous And finally some recognition for the "little" websites. I guess that primarily means this forum? But little? Caleb, have you seen how many pages are actually dedicated to your gorgeous self? Bahaha. For all of you taking a little longer to home: hope you get there safe!
