    I'm surprised to hear they had the chance to do a set list or a sound check the day before, normally you find these concerts are fly in on the day (tune backstage) and then fly out. Nice to see they also took the time to meet the fans who had turned up a little earlier.

    Well for their stadium shows this summer they always did their soundcheck the day before. But back in October on the arena tour they did it on the day. Marlay Park was the only venue where we were able to watch them. We wanted to watch them in Mainz because it was a similar type venue to MP with the stage in close proximity to the gate, but they never actually did a soundcheck for that show. (we think it had something to do with the new song being leaked)

    Marlay Park has to be tied with Mainz as one of the best shows I have ever been to in my entire life. First of all, we all got to watch the soundcheck the day before and heard them play Stuck With Me and that infamous "new" song. Billie Joe spotted us all standing by the fence, said hi, thanked us for coming out and said that they were there to entertain us. They sent their photographer down to see who was watching and he started taking random photos of us. After they had walked off the stage, one of their roadies, Brian, came down with a handful of Tre's used drumsticks and we all got one. I couldn't believe it, I felt so ****ing lucky to be there.

    For the show, we all got early entry from a competition on the Idiot Club so we were at the barrier right in the very corner of the catwalk. (best spot I think) We were right in front of Billie Joe and Mike and got so much love from them all night. Billie Joe kept grinning at us during Burnout and Geek Stink Breath because we actually knew the words. I held up my Tight Wad Hill sign several times during the "old skool" moments and Mike merely looked at it and burst out laughing as if to say "Ehhh...are you actually serious?"

    I know both people who got pulled up for Longview, they were right beside us. So, so happy that they got picked, it meant the absolute world to them to get up on that stage.

    I thought it was so much better than the O2 show, the setlist was better and there seemed to be so much more banter and they seemed to be in a great mood. (and we got a red shirt...no other city got that ;) )

    But the crowd around where we were was useless, the people behind us kept shouting out such stupid things to the roadies all evening in between the support bands. And they wouldn't stop screaming "Basket Case! Basket Case!" during GD's set until they played it.


    Here's some of my photos. The rest are on my facebook

    Anyways, Viva La Gloria, I'd like to use about 3 of your photos to make a new desktop background for my laptop.. would you mind?:D You can put a little signature or stamp or something on them if you wish, I'd just really like a few decent photos like yours!
