Yeah another thing about the crowd, I guess it can be debated if they were good or bad or whatever.
But from where I was standing everyone was giving them lots of love, and as I said I talked a bit with those Americans and even they said the crowd was really good esp compared to the American crowds so it really can not have been that bad of a crowd....
IN all my rambling I forgot to give the setlist lol. Not in order.
Red Morning Light California Waiting Molly's Chambers Taper Jean Girl Bucket Four Kicks Charmer On Call My Party Fans Closer Crawl Sex Use Somebody Be Somebody Cold Desert Notion
That's it.

Yup, I've read other fan reports now and sounds like Caleb was just in a total grump with the crowd. He said something like "I know it's really hot but it's just as hot on stage and I'm giving it my best and so should you", and "every party has a pooper"!!! Hmmm... I doubt the Dutch crowds are going to take too kindly to the Kings after this

I do wonder what the other guys would make of it. I mean obviously they can't go on without the singer haha, but I wonder if they are ok with just going off and ending the gig.
Who knows who knows. As been said, I am sure we will never know.
And yeah I did cringe a bit when everyone started booing, cos right before it everyone was full of love so it was one of them really weird moments!
Most were just in shock and not really sure what the hell was happening. Not even the crew haha.

The other night Caleb signalled for Matt to end the set early or cut out a song (I'm guessing it was Trani) and Matt did NOT look happy and tried to protest and Caleb stuck his arms out and proper walked up to him looking pretty angry. It wasn't very pleasant to watch to be honest and Matt looked like he was pretty angry/confused during the first half of the next song.. so I guess they go with what Caleb says? I think he varies from night to night and stuff, definitely bases his feelings on the crowds.. but sounds like they've had worse crowds so I have no idea where all that came from tonight

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN it was an amazing concert like the preformance but then he was so grumpy and he was like lets have a good time bla bla something party and everyone kinda went quite and he was like well every party has a party pooper and then he was like if you guys start standing up in sex on fire i m gonig to leave the stage and when people did he looked really angry and it was weird and you wernt allowed to film which was weird and theyk inda looked unhappy except matthew was dancing more and was more lively and caleb was being rude and then apologizing and then nathan was just nathan and jared was just quite but the dutch crowd was pretty silent at some point and they didnt know some old songs of them but still i think it was a good show but it was too short! they all looked amazing though and they were soooooooooo amazing!!! but he did kinda say that they were going to leave cuz he was all likei hope you all go with smiles on your faces bla bla and he did say that he was flying that night so maybe thats why or it could be that he was drunk cuz he does say he is rude and brutally honest when he is drunk and he likes things to go his way and in the show he did say that he was just a little crabby and that he wants things to go his way and he did apologize i thought it was a really good show except TOO DAMN SHORT!!!

I did not see that. And while throwing a beer bottle is very shitty, it is a shame that the actions of one person have to punish the 9999 others.
Oy!
No I really do not know, I saw them waving as they walked off, then lights went out, everyone cheering, lights go on. Everyone confused. Lots of mumbling and anger all around from disappointed people... and that was that!
I wonder if they heard the booing, but I would guess not.

I actually never respond on this site, but before the concert we've met Brent and he already told us that caleb really hates the 'new' fans. And that's why they didn't come out sometimes, because they didn't like the crowd. During the show, some people trew beer to caleb. One missed him and one looked like it missed him in 1cm. And all that stuff he said about before and after SOF. We allready guessed these were the things why they got away so early. After the show we waited a long time, we were the only 3 left. We wanted to talk to Brent, about what has happened. But brent was'nt there, but another roadie (Darin) came to us, and he told us that caleb came from the stage, shouting and stuff. But what happend was, he was hit by a beer in his back. And they didn't trew back, because that would have started a beerfight and there was a lot of expencive equiptment on stage.
but funny was, johnny depp was supposed to be here tonight, but he got ill. And last night prince Harry was in the o2.
(i'm sorry for my crappy english)

But then around the three minute mark he seems to take it all in, with the crowd singing along so hard... big smile from Caleb.

Well it is a shame then that one person throwing something can spoil it for everyone. Let security handle the guy is what I would think.
Blah I doubt this is the first time one of them has been hit with something. I do NOT condone people throwing stuff but I don't agree you have to turn your back on an entire crowd because of it, with no explanation.
As I said, all of us paid for a normal, full show.
I should go to bed but I am way too hyper dang

i think it was either he was a little drunk cuz he gets mad easly or he was already in a bad mood and then the whole crowd being quite and then not knowing alot of the songs and then the beer bottle he was probably upset i hope this doesnt mean he doesnt like us anymore cuz that was an amazing show until they left and in the SOF vid i think he was joking when he did that angry thing cuz its not there best song and everyone is obsessed and he hates how everyone goes just for one song or two it kinda makes the show boring like the crowd not knowing the songs and being quite

If it is because of the throwing of stuff, that's not cool. Not cool for people to throw stuff, but also not cool for them to leave after that, like lms1980 said, there's other people there too. A similar thing happened at their show in Wellington in March. Apparently people were throwing glowsticks at the band, one hit Caleb in the middle of California Waiting and he pulled the fingers at the person who did it. Then in the encore one hit Nathan, I couldn't see too well at that stage but apparently you could see him yell "It f**king hit me". They finished that song, had a conversation and then played Charmer and left. My friend got a setlist and they had missed out about 3 songs. Sorry band, but that is not on. Yea, they may not like certain fans (neither do we), but if it bothers them that much, they should a) deal with it and play for everyone else, or b) just not play sex on fire/use somebody (as if that would ever happen). *dreams of that concert*
EDIT that was harsher than I meant it to sound. I know they're only human etc, so maybe they just need a good long break to unwind a bit...

I remember seeing them in Cardiff in 2007 and fools were throwing beer at them, plus the plastic bottles and cups and Caleb said the same thing, that he was going to walk off. The next day I had the pleasure of meeting them and was talking to Matt and I mentioned the beer throwing and he said Caleb really, really hates it and was not joking when he said he'd walk off if it didn't stop. Can't blame him really. Why they heck do people throw beer at a band they quite obviously like because they bought tickets to the show. It's very strange.
Grumpy Caleb, me no likey but if the crowd wasn't overly fantastic, if some people were throwing beer then he's bound to be in bad form but it sucks for the genuine fans that but thankfully you seem to have had a good night.
Thanks for the reviews and set list peeps x

If someone threw beer at me when I was at work, I'd be pretty pissed too. Must be hard to reconcile in your head - "they paid their money to come see me, and they're throwing shit when I'm doing what they paid me to do".
