Another great gig, although we had some right idiots in front of us which pissed me off a bit. Glad to hear Cali last night, and RML and Trani again!!! I got a few pics, shit quality though cos my new camera doesn't zoom in very far, I'll post them tonight. Did anybody else notice that Nathan had changed his vest before they came back on for the encore  |

I have no idea! - I'm signed up on the official board etc and happened to be at work at 7pm the night they sent the email saying they had production seats available - I went straight in and scored two sweet tickets - me likely the KOL fan club! Caleb also said last night that the band had been told on Monday night that no-one had sold more tickets to a gig at the O2 than they had. He then said they were told last night that they'd sold even more tickets than the night before - not sure how that works but it made them very happy. Bring on the 30th! |

I must make sure I have all the right details on my membership!! They must sell more and more limited view tickets than others and I bet they release more standing close to the time too!! |

I thought the crowd seemed better last night, esp during Knocked Up. But my section were horrific! I was front row of the side view seats that come down closest to the stage on Matt's side in the corner (so basically closest seat to Matt?) and immediately stood up when they came on. My friend stood up and the absolute a-hole behind her poked her really hard and said if you don't sit down i'm complaining?!?! I went absolute irate! I made sure he heard me saying Caleb hates people who sit down, I didn't come here to sit down and the rest of the arena were bloody well stood up! He appeared to know no songs  In fact half my section didn't, but I sung and danced enough to make up for it. I got some videos of RML, Be Somebody, My Party, Cali Waiting and the last half of Fans. Sadly when I eventually put them on youtube you'll hear me singing along too I'll upload my pics later! They're not too shabby! |

Had been looking forward to this gig for many many months, and now its over! What a night...it went so fast! Awesome set list, I'm so fortunate that they played Trani. Was eerily quiet in my block when they played it, I think the crowd around me were a little confused (OBTN fans me thinks...) but the appreciation was still there. Not long 'til Benicassim for me now...wish I was going on the 30th! Just brilliant, faultless. Bigger fan than I ever was after that.

^ Thanks, he was more than happy to explain why he stands facing the amp, hes very down to earth, and felt easy to talk to him, we must have spent 40mins with him in the end. Cant believe he thought trani / mcfearless didnt go down well monday night, told him more like it was people in shock they were doing it, but rest assured it was well received |

AMAZING is a complete understatement for last night. We had standing tickets - got there just after 5pm and there was about 50 people in front of us. When we got I really expected there to be rows of people in front but there was still places at the barrier - right to the side of Matt! We were so close! Most people didn't arrive until after Glasvegas but they were actually surprisingly good - if you're going to one of the other UK shows - get there to see them they were really good. When the Kings came on the place went crazy and they were all in a really good mood and really smiley - especially Matt and Caleb. Matt was grinning most of the night it was so cute! Jared seemed to face the corwd most of the night too. The setlist was amazing, especially Trani even though we were the only people singing where we were standing - Nathan kept looking in our direction aswell, probably because we were the only ones properly dancing and singing. I really didn't expect the corwd to be so tame apart from the idiot drunk girls behind us who kept trying to push to the front. Caleb seemed quite chatty and said something about it being the best show they'd done and we were better than the crowd on Monday. He also did his usual "get home safe, and look after each other" speech which was cute. He really went for it in Trani and Black Thumbnail too and was on his knees at the end. Right at the end Matt waved at me and my friend too!  It was the first time I've seen them live and it was seriously the best night of my life smile.gif Bring on the 30th! Sorry, that was a quite a boring recap but I really wanted to tell everyone about it |

Angie wrote it all up on the O2 thread on the official forum, it should be about half way through the thread. Basically he said thats its to do with sound and sound only that he does it. Something along the lines of him hearing it better and/or making the sound better, and that it def hasnt anything to do with blowing fans out. Its a great story with loads more detail..maybe angie might copy it for here. |
