Thats an awesome setlist! I think its great that they kept you guessing with songs they were going to play, I sure hope they play Arriving Somewhere when I see them, love that song.

Also, how lucky do you get that you just happen to see members of band passing by! Are you sure you werent stalking them ;)

Do they still have the camera ban in place?

You get a messaged similar to this at every PT concert. 'The band Respectfully ask that no recording equipment is used'.

 

Still people still use them and I always want at least 1 good photo from the night when I go any gig.

They are the only band I've been to which have security on the look-out for cameras.

 

the best way is to sneak a picture with no flash :)

Haha yeah, well the one I went to in manchester, there was no one on the look out, so I got a few pics. I surpose in just asking the fans not to, it stops people taking pictures during the whole show. When I went to see muse, during there first song I think 70% of the crowd has a camera or phone out and it is abit annoying to see a load of lights in front of you view.

I'm just a lucky mouse is all. I was standing with a group of fans in front of the venue and saw them!

 

I think they really got the point across with this show to us die hards. I really do. It was amazing. I really fear concert-going may now be ruined for me. :lol:

I've found using flash in a concert situation doesn't do a lot, better to use the natural light from the stage.

I just don't take pics. I'm too into the music to even bother getting my camera out.

 

Here's a couple pics that I took that day though.

This one's the closest I came to taking one during the show.

 

Line. Big line. Big fucking line.

 

So exciting, right?

Nice, I can sense the anticipation in that queue! :D

Royal Albert Hall tomorrow! Bet you're excited, iadamh!

I am :), hopefully I'll run into the band around London before the gig like you(I can dream haha).

 

*edit*

 

Really good gig, hated that there was so many breaks though. Kind of wrecked the 'flow' of it all. Royal Albert Hall was way bigger than i expected but my seat gave an awesome view!

London always rains when im there but thankfully this time it held out, only got a bit of drizzle!

Also, as expected I didnt run into the band :( haha

Arriving Somewhere But Not Here

Trains

I was at the Royal Albert Hall gig too, it was really great :) We went to the sound check and met Colin at the stage door, they sound checked 'Halo' and 'How is Your Life Today?' but didn't play them and it's a shame Blackest Eyes wasn't played but the set was amazing anyway

The think with the royal albert hall is that even though tickets are sold out, there are some seats inside which will probably remain empty as they are owned by individuals. So if the RAH management can't get in touch so that they can 'rent' the seats owned by individuals for the show they will remain empty if the owner doesn't want to go to the show.

you realise time flies.

And the best thing that you can do

is take whatever comes to you.

'Cos time flies.
