Went to see it tonight, in IMAX 3D. I love IMAX. 3D, not so much - aside from the general headache the experience tends to give me, wearing the damn glasses over top of my own glasses is particularly heinous. It leaves me with sore eyelids from blinking against my lenses because the 3D glasses force mine too close to my face, and a sore nose from ( Read more... )

This video is of the first two songs at the Guildhall on Monday. There are others popping up now, and some from London on Tuesday (which was also excellent), but the person who filmed the linked vid appears to have been standing three or four people to my right and maybe a couple forward, because that is damn near my view of the stage. Heh ( Read more... )

Tonight was MB20 gig number one. Local venue. 1800 capacity. There were about ten people (and a railing/bit of space) between where I stood, and Paul Doucette's side of the stage ( Read more... )

Happy November, blessed Samhain, happy birthday to a couple of people whose special days I missed. ♥ I am ringing in November the same way I did October: I'm fucking sick. *scowls* I'd been a bit run down still from the chest cold/mild flu earlier and then on Friday I woke up coughing and sneezing and that's still going. *sigh* In fact, I have just ( Read more... )

Then, oh_johnny_ was not only able to come with, but picked up ( Read more... )

I'm not a big fan of getting home at 4:30 in the morning. If I'm going to be that late, I want to stay over, dammit! I promise to actually do a concert report this time - albeit probably not ( Read more... )

Dragging self to bed after a brilliant Metallica gig followed by a very non-brilliant train ride home with unexpected bus portion thereof. *headdesk* I'm probably not going to write an actual review because it's already blurred, but I did want to note the unusual inclusion of these covers: Too Late Too Late and Turn the Page. The latter of which ( Read more... )

So. My first Matchbox Twenty concert, finally. Guess what? It rocked! ( Are you surprised? ;D )
