As for the songs. I loved them.. I am surprised though that nobody has mentioned that Steve is now playing keyboards on a few songs. He did on Picture, Future, and I believe Wipe.. Their set was amazing.. I was front row in front of Steve.. I didn't see anyone exceopt Stace there.. Raine is still up to his climbing up the tower. He did during WIC.. Out of the new songs I think Angels, Picture and Future was amazing. I didn''t reconize Clumsy at first. They slowed it down to an almost lounge type feel.. During SD the audiece sang the first verse till Raine came in with the vocals.. Nice to see that he can stop and the audience will pick up the song.
They did have alot of energy and this record is going to be killer. It was good to see them live again.
Did anyone else go to the signing? I did. I brought my friend to meet the band. This was her first time seeing them live. She thought they were really good and loved the new stuff also.. I do have to say those shirts(ones they were selling ) were horrible. It is a silouette of a woman's back with our lady peace written on it. YUCK... I really didn't talk to them beyound hello.I just wanted to gicve them cd's and introduce my friend to them. Funny thing is the cd's I gave Duncan and Steve were ones they wanted but didn't get yet so they were really surprised and happy I gave those cd's to them..

I was having fun till the 4th or 5th song of Billy.. I was in front at the end of one barricade. . There was a small gap between that barricade and the one just to the left of it.. The way the crowd was pusing sometimes I be just between so security was being really dicky and nasty to me.. A fight broke out during intermission so I moved for them to go in. I never was able to get back to where I was cause the crowd moved forward so I sort of stood between them. During Flesh For Fantasy- Billy came over to our side. He was near the edge of the stage and I was doing the normal pumping hand in air we all do. He reached down and grabbed my hand. So I gave him a thumbs up and he returned it while singing to me.. This big securituy guy came over and pulled me by the arm telling me I had to leave. I asked him why.. he just said leave now.. My friends tried to pull me back, but he was pulling me by the other arm.. I said to him one minute I need to get my bag. He practically lifted me up.. He pushed me along the way making me trip and hurting my foot in the process.. I told the other guy there I needed first aid cause I was really hurt.. He told me I had to stand back of this line and I couldn't go backstage. I said I don't want to go backstage I just need to know where first aid is. He said someone will come out to me. I waited and waited. When I asked him again he was all I can't hear you.. Finally I decided to just try to walk out to the front. I needed to tell my friend I was leaving> I asked one of the security guys there to just give her a note for me. She was 6 people in along the front.. He told me if I didn't leave I would be arrested
this was the guy who I told I neede first aid to, then who was like get out ot my face.. The way the area was set up was there was this opening along the front for surfers to pass. You couldn't stand there, but just outside( where I was ).. So I don't understand these guy's problems.Esp when they hurt me, and I asked for medical help.. By the first guy being rough with me I twisted my ankle and was in pain.. I did finally manage to get over to first aid for them to give me an ace bandage.. I should of known they were dicks when this wheel chair kid was brought up to the front by other security people.. They started telling the guy with them he couldn't stay there and actually were so rough with the wheel chair kid he feel out of his chair. Plus I heard a few other mishaps with security from other people. They were really rough with people they shouldn't have been. The other girl I was with told me they removed this girl that Billy was trying to pull up on stage. I don;t know if that is true or not. I only know is that they made me leave, and when I didn't move fast enough yanked me by the arm cause Billy reached over and grabbed my hand.. UP untill then I was having a good time.. Those guys ruined Billy's set for me.. 
I did get to hear it though. I didn't really see it though. Out of all the shows I have been to in my life this is the second time a member of security got rough with me. First time was at the OLP/Creed show in Philly in 99. that guy practically choked me. .. People said I should of said I wanted a officer there to file charges. He did this cause someon took a photo and he thought it was me.. I had a camera around my neck. he yanked me by the camera yelliling at me.. I said i didn't take any photo. It wasn't untill another person told him it was someone eles taking photos that he let go of me strap around my neck. . I hate some of these security people. they put on a shirt and think they have the right to handle you anyway they want.. I am not talking about unruly people, but people who are just there. for whatever reason they get an ego problem.. I am friendly with alot of guys who work security in NYC.. None of them have ever acted all bullyish to concert goers..
. Thanks to everyone who blocked security for me. I enjoyed the show, and the view from the balcony was great. The sun set behind the band as they were playing and there was a great breeze blowing, it was awesome. I'll post more later when I'm not quite so tired.
