From last night’s show in Los Angeles
Last night was the start of the American U.S. America Tour and what a joy it was to be part of a crowd that jumped, danced, and sang along loudly to both the new and old songs. The guys were excellent, as always, and I must say that I love watching them even more now with Max and Adam up there.
I’ve got only a few videos due to security staff stopping me (BOOOOOOOO!) but these should tide you over for now while I’m still uploading more videos and working on photos.
Chick Lit:
Impatience and Let’s See It:
That’s What Counts (last few seconds of the song are cut off 
):
This post will be updated with more photos, videos, reviews, etc. later. If you went to this show and want to share your photos and videos, let me know!
ETA 7/3/08: Awesome set of photos from this show taken by my friend, Jenn, are here at The Scenestar.
off topic but there’s a video of keith with lightspeed champion (not the conan one) on last fm presents, here http://www.last.fm/event/579801/videos/7376259 … keith even sings the background vocals a bit, it’s cute… it might not be new though, but i’ve only just noticed it…
What was the setlist like?
Did they do any funny covers?…i.e. “End of the Road,” “All That She Wants”…etc.
No covers. They’ve got too much of their own material now to sing.
And I think this may have been the setlist:
Ghouls
Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt
Chick Lit
This Scene is Dead
Inaction
Impatience
Let’s See It
Cash Cow
Can’t Lose
That’s What Counts
After Hours
Textbook
Tonight
Dinosaurs
It’s a Hit
Lethal Enforcer
Great Escape
Not 100% sure on it.
ooo! Nice ‘n long!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I just saw that they’re doing an in-store in seattle!!! I think I may explode with excitement…
It’s at the Queen Anne Easy Street at 6..
:):):)
That was so much FUN! I definitely agree with you on all accounts, they guys looked like they were having a great time and the crowd seemed really into it. I was about a few feet away from where you were standing in the pit so I encountered a few crazies haha. By the end of the show they whole band seemed to really be enjoying themselves and the crowd’s reactions. Overall, tons of fun. It was also great to see ya, Renee! Glad you finally got in after waiting so long haha.
It did feel like a long set- it was about an hour and 15 minutes. Good to know about the signing, Lux! I wish they did that here!
And yes, it was nice to see you again, Liam! I think the side we were on was especially crazy and in the middle I saw some shoving going on too. I’m glad I wasn’t too close to that section! And I’m very thankful I was able to get in on time, it was getting kinda cold and I would’ve been sad if I missed The Blood Arm!
Wow, Renee, those videos are great. Thank you.
The guys really looked like they enjoyed themselves a lot. It really does look like an awesome show.
And you were standing at the good side of the stage. ;o) nice.
I so wanna see them again too. *sigh*
Great videos! Loving how much the crowd are into it but it’s not surprising since it’s been a fair while since you’ve been able to see them live.
yay first day kick off!!! Can’t wait to see more videos, the ones you took are really good!! But the security staff stopped you! LAME! that never happens!
But can we have more details about the seattle signing because i looked it up on this site: http://www.buymusichere.net/rel/v2_home.php?storenr=21&deptnr=16
and i didn’t see them listed. I know they went there back in 06 though
lux, where did you here WAS are playing an in-store? I just checked Easy street’s site and it doesn’t say anything on there… I hope I can make it!
RENEE! oh, thank you for these videos. I am so friggin’ excited for next week, and these just multiplied that by about a billion and one.
WOO!
oohh I’m such an idiot, the WAS in-store was on the main page! I can’t believe I didn’t see it.
ooh! it’s at 6 and doors are at 8! I’m definitely going
haha I love these avatars…
Yeah, AJ just go here: http://www.buymusichere.net/stores/easystreet/enter.html
and scroll down until you see the instore section…its on the main page….6:00 at the Easy Street on Mercer….IM SO EXCITED.
I’m thinking that they probly won’t be doing a signing, just the performance, since it’s so close to the time they play at Neumos…just a thought…
Your pictures are great. Love them a lot, too. Nice that you caught the fans on stage. it’s a nice impression.
haha i feel like an idiot too!
i didn’t scroll down the page!!! in store sighing!!
Another UK date from Seetickets – The Empire, Middlesbrough on August 26th.
