Montana THAT is the type of review I love to read. Just hearing your experience of the gig and how you felt just makes me so happy.
Aargh - I promised myself I wouldn't read this thread too much because I knew I'd be so jealous, but I just can't keep away.

Hey guys, I dont have any time to catch up on what others have posted but I had to come on and say that last night was f**kin amazing. The seats we had were waaaaaaaaaaay further away than I hoped and we tried to blag our way up to the GA area but we couldnt (i think i give up tooeasily though cause apparently others got in later). Anyhoo, the guys were on fire, and I presume someone said it above but Caleb said he knew people had come from afar and they were grateful for that and that he believed they had one of the last remaining true fanbases in music, I was so happy he said that!! He also said that thank you to those who spread the word online etc (so I choose to believe that was a special shout out to us crazy as HA'ers ). Anyway, because I was so far away I didnt get excellent pics but some good ones that Ill post on Monday. Set list was great SNSL, Crawl, Trani, Manhattan (which was brilliant), Revelry, Black Thumbnail, McFearless, Knocked up (crowd went mad at start of this song but they faded out a bit on the ooooh oooh oooh oooh's ), SOF (again everyone went bananas)..there was more but cant think now . I was surprised at how into it the crowd were mind you there was a couple in front of us who clearly didnt give a shit and apparently the pit was full of people who didnt really go bananas (grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr). I flew the Irish flag, I have no idea if the guys saw it but I hope they did!! We didnt meet them afterward cause they left and I think there was lots of family there etc. I'm sure they had a party to get to and they deserved it. We met Nacho though, that guy is so freakin cute, myself and Ruth nearly strangled him with the Irish flag and he didnt even complain I felt bad tho and Ruth and I look demented in the pic, its pretty hilarious!!!!! It was so amazing to meet everyone from the forum last nite and today we met and just indulged our KOL obsession over breakfast and drinks. Anyway, you guys are amazing and think you for a wonderful NYC trip And kings if you read this you guys are awesome & thank you for the music xXx

it seriously was an experience to remember..just being able to watch them up close and show all the effort they put into the show was unreal..when trani came on i nearly wet myself..i just turned to my friend and freakin screamed!..that's prolly when we whipped out some fresh glow sticks and just went to town..i even hit a girl next to me on the head with one of them by accident..im so glad i wrote down the whole playlist because now every time i look back at it i remember how i felt during each song..i remember rockin out to each one and just soaking in the energy from the garden and from the band..i loved being able to have a perfect view of nathan the whole time..seeing him just wail out on the drums felt like an outter body experience. ..so many times i would just scream and point at him and tell everyone around to look at him!..it was everything i hoped for in a concert..i loved how truly appreciative they were for all of us being there..i loved how they seemed so natural being up there and made it seem like that they have performed at MSG tons of times..if they were nervous..i definitely didnt sense it
they were just..perfect =)
last night even induced the most vivid dream i have ever had of KOL..i'll post it on the dream thread soon enough

.i loved being able to have a perfect view of nathan the whole time..seeing him just wail out on the drums felt like an outter body experience. ..so many times i would just scream and point at him and tell everyone around to look at him! That's what I do at every gig! It's during Trani that is the best though. When he starts hitting both cymbals at the same time and his guns are pumping and he looks like a beast. Phew, I think I need to leave this thread for a moment and recompose myself.

I was at the show last night, and I just have to say that they truly are KINGS!!! They were so amazing!! As soon as they walked out and started playing Crawl I started to cry I was so happy. They all looked amazing, and played amazing. I even met somebody from this board by chance when I was walking in, I can't really remember their screenname because I was too excited to really register what was happening, yknow? But anyway, it was such an awesome night!!! Before the concert I kept telling my friends which songs I wanted them to play, and low and behold, they played almost every song on my dream set list!! It was so surreal, I'm still so happy, and happy for them! Love KoL!!!!!

I thought it was an amazing show. I wish they would've played some more stuff from Youth and Aha Shake. I really wanted to see Joe's Head and Pistol of Fire. But, it doesn't really matter, they wailed and put on one hell of a show. These guys have gotta be one of the best lives band out there right now. I'm kind of a newer fan, and I was absolutley blown away by Trani. It was my first one, and I'll never forget it. They played their asses off I was there with my friend in section 302. It was my first time at MSG and it's probably my favorite concert experience. We got posters too. Overall amazing night!!

i love how he spread his arms out during.."once she's crossed the liiiiine.."
i was mimicking it and was telling this random guy next to me how caleb looked like Jesus when he was doing it..pretty sure i annoyed that guy like no other throughout the whole show

On 2007 tour young caleb spread his arms during Trani when he sang 'All Tied to a Chair' but noticed he changed it for last run of gigs! I gotta say it looked sexy as hell yums yums

The video of caleb talking and then playing manhattan he says:
"...For getting on to the websites and... spreading the word...telling everyone on the street...here we go man, we finally did it."
I'm so sad I wasn't there for this. All of this.
