So I've spent a while poking at all my pictures and videos from Thursday's concert. I prettified the best shots and I'm gonna post them here - they're nothing special, really, but the colors are really nifty on some of them and you really get a sense of what the experience was like for me :) Much better videos than mine are online already though, so I'm just gonna share one video, of the Prison solo, which includes Gerard being flamboyant and priceless and basically sums up the awesome of the show in one concise clip :D
Unfortunately I managed to miss recording all of the best moments. I really really really loved Gee and Mikey's interactions during the whole thing! Of course you've all heard of Gee handing Mikey the mic and Mikey saying "Do I look like Darth Vader in this jacket?" and Gee reacting with "WTF IS HE SAYING?" Translation? My little brother is awesome and you can't have him. \o/ Also, apparently, though I wasn't close to make out the details of this, Gee fisted his fingers in Mikey's hair at one point and kind of tugged his head down, which, nnngh, hotttt. Alllso, he hugged him from behind at one point, and during one song he wrapped himself around Mikey from behind and held the mic to Mikey's mouth, but Mikey didn't sing the line, awww. Hee. Gerard is so obviously overjoyed to have his little bro back with him. I bet he felt like he was missing a LEG or something the whole time Mikey was gone! And Mikey himself was really, just, SO into it, thrashing his hair around and kicking up his little BOOTS and just right up there next to Gerard and oh oh. I HAVE SEEN THE MIKEY WAY. (U c wut I did thar?) I kind of love him desperately. Endless hearts, Mikey Way, endless hearts.
If they were this awesome with only three members, I can only imagine how much they would blow my mind with FRAAAANKIE and BOBBB in there too. Gosh! But I'm so glad I went now, even with all the suffering I went through to do it, because Gee is talking about the next album not coming out til 2009 and they obviously wouldn't tour til after that, SO. It was now or never! And having this experience is just. Yes. I kind of needed it.
So now I'll just let the photos speak for themselves! Feel free to save and do whatever if you're so inclined, but like I said, nothing special :) Except to me, of course. I won't ever be able to look at these or watch my loud, staticky videos without a stupid grin coming to my face. What a fucking amazing night.
WAYS ♥
The crowd looking like a bunch of fireflies during Cancer! :)
This is during Desert Song. They were side lit by those spotlights, but because I was over to the side it backlit them instead and led to this really cool picture. Oh I was almost crying. Desert Songggg.
And that's me and
erode, on our post-show high! :D
Ray Toro fucking murdering the Prison guitar solo, and Gee just standing there like "can you believe this guy??" and then prancing around stage like the motherfucking princess he is. <333333
*happysigh* Yay.
