BEST. NIGHT. EVER!
ASLDFKJADLS;FKJAFO;WIEN;ALSNVE;OWN I HAD SOOOOO MUCH FUNNNN!!!!!! I ♥ Hanson.
So here is my report! Sadly, the venue didn't allow cameras so I have no pictures T__T I DO have some audio, but I'm seeing if I can send it from my phone to my email account....we'll see if that works...
Anyway~
kendoyuki and I went together~ Rode the metro into Washington DC, walked through this reeeeaaalllly sketchy area to get to the club the concert was at. We got there half way through the first band.
Opening bands in order were
Sherwood
Steal Train
Hello Goodbye
Sherwood was good. I bought one of their Cds~ I don't really know if I like Steal Train or not. But I really like Hello Goodbye now!!! They were so funny and they sounded awesome~
so HANSON. omg. So first off I was extremely excited that on the image on Hanson's drum kit was the same as it was all those years ago~ (it's this little circular design that spells out Hanson...I can't find an image of it ><)
They sound pretty much the same except a little more mature. All 3 of them have GORGEOUS hair. So pretty! Isaac and Taylor's hair is short, but Zac has longer hair again. Taylor is still so pretty! They're seriously talented too! They sound Amazing live!!!
I was actually pretty close. I got even closer at the very end. If I was fast enough I probably could have touched Taylor's hand~ At first I thought I wasn't going to be able to see Taylor AT ALL (which I would have been sad about because he was my favorite), but I ended up being able to see him the most. It was really hard to see Zac because of the tall people and one of the symbols on the drum kit was right in front of his face ><
Some of the songs I didn't know. So i can't write a complete setlist but they played "Were's the Love" early on (maybe like second?) and Runaway Run (which I loooveee). "If Only" Was pretty early too. Me and like...everyone else in the place went crazy for that song. That song is so nice!!! It was really fast paced at the beginning and then they played a bunch of really nice slower songs in the middle.
The end was so much fun! They played "A minute without you" which I had actually forgotten about but was able to sing almost all of the words! I started tearing up during that song! I started to remember how much I used to love this band that was playing one of my favorite songs RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I remebering listening to "A minute without you" over and over and over again with the lyric book trying to learn the words. Seriously, I used to be as obsessed with Hanson in 3rd grade as I am with NEWS now.
And of course they played "mmmBop"!!!! How could they not???! The place went FREAKIN CRAZY when they played this song. Some of the memebers of Hello Goodbye shoved their way into the audience which was pretty amusing~ I was soooooo happy to hear this song live!!! everyone was jumping and screaming and...it was awesome. they played one or two songs after mmmbop. We had them come back for an encore and they played 2 more songs for us~~ I was happy because they played all of my favorite songs!!! and some I forgot about too!!!
It was seriously a lot of fun!!!! I want to go again!!! kendoyuki and I were talking with one of the guys from Sherwood after the concert and he said that mostly Hanson fans follow the tour around for a while. Like they go to several shows in a row in different cities near each other (I heard one girl say she went to the con in Baltimore yesterday, then DC today and then..Charlotte, NC tomorrow). Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of money T__T But I'm definitely going to see them again next time they are in town (I think they said they'll be back around summer~)
I had sooooooo much fun! They are amazing live and sooooo talented. They have really nice songs with good lyrics too! My love for Hanson was definitely renewed tonight~ This concert was worth EVERY penny I spent on it and all of the annoyance it was to get the time to be able to actually GO.
I got back to school around....12:30. Then me and my friends went to go watch the meteor shower for a bit~~ That was pretty awesome too! (except cold!!!)
now I have to draw a self portrait......and I'll work on getting that audio!!!!
