I really need to get hold of that DVD. And I really hope there is going to be one from this tour, does anyone know? Anything been announced? Having been to a show now, I really want to get a film of one from this tour!

 

I have to say the crowd was really awesome. I've read other reviews on the net saying a lot of people were only there for 2 songs, and only seemed interested when Chasing Cars came on etc. But last night everyone was into every song, certainly all the people around me and I didn't see anyone looking disinterested or anything at any point. Of course Chasing Cars got the biggest roar, as you would expect. But every song was enjoyed by all. And everyone was well into Evermore too.

 

I was also slightly suprised by the age of much of the audience. From other reviews I expected it to be largely teenage girls, aged sort of 13-16 but it wasn't (although perhaps being on a Thursday night, with school the next day had something to do with that). There were a group of about 7 young teenage girls, aged probably 13/14 behind me but I didn't see too many other groups of them. I guess the majority of people there looked roughly my age, give or take a year or 2 (I'm 20) and there were also a lot of 'older people,' like couples getting into their late 30s and 40s etc. Good to see that it's music anyone can enjoy.

 

 

I took 11 short videos with my phone and just added them to youtube.

Unfortunately, as they were done with a phone they are poor quality, and my phone would only film for 30 seconds at a time. But still might be interesting to have a quick look.

 

Few pics from my phone attached.

 

Also got a few sound recordings if anyone wants.

And you felt the need to broadcast this to a thread full of fans?

 

Exactly. If you don't like them then what the hell are you doing in a thread for Snow Patrol fans in the first place?

he has the right to give his opinion but but you're right.

if you're going to criticize their music, back it up for crying out loud, don't just say that without giving details and not expect fans to jump on you :dozey:

he's been doing the exact same thing in the Will thread. Just ignore him.....

 

I have news.......

 

My dad has said he will buy me a day ticket for T in the Park for my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :D

 

So now I just have to actually GET the tickets.....:thinking: Wish me luck!

Fair enough. Have you listened to their first couple of albums? They're very different, and weren't mainstream. Perhaps you would prefer those. Then again you might not...

 

i really love fire to the third bar atm, can't get enough of this track :P

 

My fave song on SP Eyes Open album, I love it since the first time i listened the song.

I love SFPB. It's a lot cuter than the last albums, the newer ones are so cheesy sometimes. I love them anyway, it's just very, well, mainstream and ... I don't know how to say that in English.

I didn't mean he doesn't have the right to express his opinion, I'm just curious as to why he wanted to tell a thread full of fans about how unoriginal he thinks Snow Patrol are. o_o;

Because this thread is about expressing your opinion on Snow Patrol?

...I just got owned.

Are we all cool here? :rolleyes: < hate that smiley but needed to be used. ANYWAYS.

 

 

Snow Patrol will be the musical guest on SNL on March 17th. St. Patty's Day.

I hope we can get the bartender to turn it on where I'll be at. But I'll just have to Tivo it.

 

 

TLo, you out there?! You lucky thing being in NYC, will you try to go meet them at the studio? That is if you aren't already out wreaking havoc on the town or at another gig. :lol: Just kidding! The show is coming up pretty soon for us all. :D

 

 

And Jen! Congrats! Wooo!

Snow Patrol, Silversun Pickups, OK Go Launch Tour

 

 

Snow Patrol, Silversun Pickups, and OK Go kick off a gargantuan tour tonight in Portland, Oregon, bringing joy to music supervisors for network television programs across the land. The long and winding trek will take the bands across North America over the next two months; it is scheduled to wrap up in early April.

 

But that's not all for these guys in 2007. Snow Patrol have a handful of Japanese dates slated for the spring, as well as some previously reported summer festival stops in the UK and Europe. In addition, they'll play a daytime benefit show for Diana Gualda at Los Angeles' Troubadour on March 3, and a gig at Mexico City's Teatro Metropolitan on March 14. And they'll appear on a little television show called "Saturday Night Live" on March 17.

 

Silversun Pickups will break up the Snow Patrol/OK Go mega-jaunt with a series of headlining dates of their own. They'll also perform at Coachella and on "Last Call With Carson Daly" this Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

 

OK GO will make a one-off stop at Malibu, California's Pepperdine University in April and then they'll spend most of June and early July on the road with the Fray. Sorry to hear it, guys.

Hi guys! I went to the Key's concert last night. Let me say now that Snow Patrol throws some of the most fun and exciting concerts EVER. OK Go was brilliant as well... I had no idea they were opening! Silversun Pickups were good too.. I didn't really hear too much of them because I got there late and then I had to run to get shirts so I would beat the lines that were steadily getting bigger. D:

 

Here's the setlist:

Spitting Games

Wow

Chocolate

Beginning to Get to Me

Headlights on Dark Roads

How to Be Dead (I almost died!)

Grazed Knees

Chasing Cars

Shut Your Eyes

Set the Fire to the Third Bar

Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking

Make This Go On Forever (he dedicated it to Seattle!)

Ways and Means

Run

You're All I Have

ENCORE

Finish Line

Open Your Eyes

Hands Open

Tiny Little Fractures

 

Some highlights:

-Gary kept cracking gay jokes. Not like, horrible jokes, especially not in Seattle. Just being silly. He talked about how Damien of OK Go woke up with the flu and still sang, following, "I should know, he woke up in my bed!" and proceeded to talk about shagging him. Brownie points!

-There was an audience member at the front who was smiling through the whole first few songs. Gary asked his name, and said, "Luke here has been smiling this whole time, it makes me happy and makes me smile. I'm not gay, but you could turn me!"

-Set the Fire to the Third Bar... of course Martha Wainwright wasn't there. Gary chose an audience member (who had the same name as me! D: ) and she SANG with them! She was good, a little too quiet, but Gary kept hugging on her to loosen her up. By the end, she was totally comfortable, had the rockstar thing going on.

 

It was a spectacular night. Along with Augustana, one of the best concerts I've seen! And I'm super happy I saw them in September too... if they came around again, I would pay any amount to see them. XD

 

I'll post some pictures soon.

Just checking in.......Oooo! I love the duet thing. SO very lucky she is! Was the song Eyes Open really Hands Open? If so, then AWESOME. Hope they keep it on the setlist for the rest of the tour. I'm dying to hear it live. Also I'm glad you liked OK GO and Silversun Pickups. I'm so excited to see them both. I really think this will be one of the best gigs I will go to. Thank ya much for giving a report back. But I gotta split. Huge exam tomorrow morning, but I look forward to the pics!

Oops, you're right, it is Hands Open. XD I wrote it down wrong in the heat of the moment at the concert and didn't change it when I typed it up. Hahahahaha. But yes, it was great.

 

And she was VERY lucky. I was doing some work this morning during my free period, and Set the Fire... came on, and I physically couldn't work because I was too busy being all, "Argh so jealous" about it. Hahaha.

 

Good luck with your exam!

hi.. can i fill this thread? i actually like snow patrol so much. but sometimes if i repeat all the time, i'm bored. haha. o yea, anybody knows that in san francisco was their concert on march 1st? tell me please... how's the concert? thank you :D

i'd like to jump in this conversation, too! :D

So they're going to play at some music festivals in Europe? I hope I'll be able to see them live once... :)

 

 

TLo, you out there?! You lucky thing being in NYC, will you try to go meet them at the studio? That is if you aren't already out wreaking havoc on the town or at another gig. :lol: Just kidding! The show is coming up pretty soon for us all. :D

 

hahah i dont have a gig that night yet.. but i think im gonna be drunk somewhere in a bar.. :P

Is a little late but I saw them in November in Manchester and Gary Lightbody and Guy Garvey were stood right next to me at the start of the gig! Was amazing. Just casually standing there.

 

Unfortunately I just stood there like a lemon. :rolleyes:

What's better than one Snow Patrol drum stick? Duh! two Snow Patrol drum sticks! :smug:

Show was great.
