And we keep going, I take advantage to not working at this time to finish or at least almost finish my reviews.
Day in Bristol under the cut !
Bristol
Carling Academy
01.31.08
Mimi and I took the train from Liverpool to Bristol on the 30th while Melissa and Rose was going to Leeds. I didn't want to go in Leeds, and after girl's story, I have done well o__O
On the morning of the 31th, we are going to the venue, just to take a look at the place. It's rainning, again lol. Tour buses are here, and the equipment is being unloaded from trucks.
We going back to our hostel waiting for the girls's coming and at twelve we go to the venue, thanks god I can collect my tickets before tonight !
Another french echelon, xela, meet us, she travels from Paris during the night !
crazy girl !!!
There is not too many people who are queuing, we meet Echelon from Letonie with their amazing book for the band <3 I remember Linda who speak french, teach french actually. Very nice people.
So, while we are waiting, Mimi see Tomo smoking a cigaret alone ... we decide to just say "Hi" to him, we don't want disturb him, he seems sick and indeed he said us that they all are sick and tired. We stay here for a while talked about everything, france, food, shows and the tour, money, his uncle in croatia lol we take pictures. A lot of people watching us but nobody come, it was a really good moment, Tomo is so adorable and funny. It was so natural or something, just a normal conversation. I love them for that.
So, he leaves to take a walk in Bristol.
We quickly see Shannon and Jared. Mimi talk with Tim who as usual smoke his cigaret behind the venue lol.
A door is open and we can see the inside, the stage and the venue is fucking small, my god, it gonna rock tonight !!!
We hear the soundcheck but I apparently miss a new song.
During the afternoon Sylvie meet us, Xela write a note to Jared lol and she wants give to Shannon a picture of him she took at Brixton with french bullshit behind the picture obviously lol
We going into the venue at 18:30, and OMFG the venue is really really small, kind of venue we all dream about.
It had balconies all around and I guess there was a pretty good view from everywhere. Mimi, Xela and I, are going in 2nd row, while Sylvie, Melissa and Rose stay at the bottom of the venue.
We are almost in front of Jared but on Tomo's side. Two sides are full of tall people lool not good for Mimi and I.
Same support that at Liverpool, they are great and huh fun ! I liked them.
The white curtain dropped again. It's our last uk show, little moment of nostalgie but we are so excited to be here!! Carmina begins, then Shannon’s awesome drum solo started and the band blasted into Battle Of One. It sounds again so f*cking good.
Set list : Battle Of One, Savior, From Yestarday, The Mission, Was It A Dream, A Beautiful Lie, The Kill, Revolve, Attack, Capricorn (Jared solo), The Story (Jared solo), AMM, Hunter, The Fantasy.
(I can’t remember the order of the songs, and I don't found the set on boards, so sorry if I didn't get it correct).
For once, I could see Shannon, he was really amazing, I hardly saw Tim, especially when he was at the edge of the stage. Jared and Tomo, perfect view, really awesome ! Tomo jumping, stiking his tongue, singing ... Jared was in top form and his voice too.
Guys seems to have great time on stage.
The best part for me was The Mission, I was shocked o_____O
This song is one of thoses I wanna hear live. It was awesome !!
The entire set list was awesome !
Then, Capricorn solo, god, I loved it. It was just intense.
And next, came Hunter which was absolutely insane. Jared was going totally nuts and telling the crowd to make weird arm movements, what people have done. I’ve never seen him run, dancing around so much on stage during a song... It was hard to get him with my camera lol
And to conclude, The Fantasy, with the ohohohhh thing, love that moment ! jared is happy as usual, but yes, we was great !
The crowd were singing along during almost every song, we wasn't too crushed, it was really good. We were so close. The venue was perfect. Audience react very great and them, they totally rock out !!!
Jared begins to talk about signing line but he's going to ask to Ross and say that it won't be possible, but they would wait oustide after. I wanna buy an hoodie but prices o__O. We go outside, share our impressions, we all are euphoric, we call and text french people as usual.
The whole venue was waiting outside. Lucky Mimi, she can get Tomo and Tim behind the venue for a while !! Guys take time with everyone here, signing stuff, take pictures, Jared talk with people in front of him, He prefers do that tonight but I can't hear what he say, I'm too far. Sylvie asks him to play Fallen in Paris lol and by the way, we write some bullshit on the miserable "Play Fallen" paper that Rose showed at Leeds's gig ! And Shannon and Tomo signed our tattoos <3
What a crazy day !!!
A last good bye to Tim, a last talk with people here, picture with Letonien Echelon and we going back to our hostel.
It was the best show I could see so far.
It's the end of the UK tour for us. But wonderful end !
The next day, we are coming back to Paris, a lot in our mind and heart. All this incredible moments between us, with the guys and f*cking awesome shows. It was so great to do this. Go to UK, road triping to follow 30 Seconds To Mars shows, meet people, share all of this. To be part of it. It was a unique and priceless experience .
One of the best moment of my entire life.
Paris and Amsterdam reviews, coming soon !!
