I SAW YOUR YELLOW KAZOO! that was awesome
i signed your card, also. happy birthday
they did the people-on-the-stage thingy at the Friday show. for the ENTIRE show, the people who had the upper balcony seats could sit at the back of the stage... Raine led them to the stage during "where are you".... that was pretty cool.
as christa said, the setlist was pretty much same as Thursday show, but they played "Waited" in place of "Car Crash"... that had me excited.
during like the 2nd song into the OLP set, some kids ran to the aisles to see better, and the security kind of stiffed, so the kids went back to their reserved seats, when Raine said "hey you guys, come back, you can stay there; you guys can all come down" (or something to that affect) and EVERYONE rushed to the front of the theatre to see better, in aisles and everything. it was awesome that that happened, because prior to that, it didn't seem like a real concert to me, when people were sitting down.
i think the best performances were "Superman's Dead" (with the outro jam -
) and Naveed, when Raine had the upper-balcony people come to the front in a big mass.
i got REALLY close to the stage by the end of the show, and at one point i stood up from a chair and got to see OLP eye-level. that was wild and exhilirating.
i saw a whole bunch of CMers. Matt is the friendliest person ever. i saw sooz and sonya and kaegan again. i saw nikki and josh and christa.
i also met Steve and Duncan and Joel, as well as Daniel Victor (of NWL). although the show was energetic, i think meeting OLP was the best part of the night.
i blubbered my words and can't even remember what i said to everybody, though. it was surreal and i can't believe about 14 hours ago i was speaking to members of OLP
some other highlights include the NWL performance with Raine for "Liar". Also, Todd Kerns singing "The Grace" was soooooooooooooooo good. i hope that was recorded.
