Oh, I'm sorry to hear you're still waiting for it to arrive! I'm sure it'll arrive soon! You see, I've just recently waited 17 days for Snow Patrol's "Up to now" to arrive here, so I know how it feels... ;) Well, we indeed have Saturn stores here in Germany, but I don't think they're comparable with HMV... But maybe that's just because I think they have the best selection as I prefer British music anyway. ;)

The Reindeer Section - Son of evil reindeer The Reindeer Section - Y'All get scared now, ya hear! Nerina Pallot - The Graduate Jason Mraz - Beautiful Mess - Live on Earth HMV's a paradise, I really had to keep myself from not buying even more CDs. :lol:

Under the iron sea - Keane

No problem, girls. I'm glad you like the videos, even though the picture quality isn't the best... ;) Aww, that's no problem at all! :hug: It was one of my highlights of the night as well, you see. :) But unfortunately it isn't the whole song because my arms were really hurting like mad towards the end and I also wanted to fully enjoy at least a bit of the song, too. :) Really, just can't wait to see all of your videos. I almost forgot about the "bum"-thingy, how could I?! :stunned: I'm really glad you captured all of it. :lol: I'm also really looking forward to the video of Nate, that definitely was one of my highlights as well! It was so much fun watching him going totally nuts. :laugh3:

@Anna: Well, I guess I already told you a hundred million (:lol:) times, but still: Your photos are so freaking amazing! :blush: Thanks again for the great time we had! :hug: @RoosAnne: Thanks! :hug: Yeah, it was a shame we didn't get to meet Gary, but oh well, I guess that guy just needs some rest, too. ;) And as for the others... As taxis and their girlfriends/friends/etc. were waiting for them, they didn't have too much time... But still they took the time to sign everything and pose for photos... Of course there wasn't much time to talk a lot, but still they were as genuinly friendly as one could be. They're uch lovely lads indeed. :cheesy: Well, it was quite cold and we for sure had some moments when we just felt like going home because we were quite tired, but then Anna would just turn on some music and everything was fine again. Plus we had quite a lot of fun while watching our vids again... So the time eventually passed by. ;) Okay, finished uploading all of my videos... As I already said, they probably aren't the best because I wasn't at the front (like usually :rolleyes::lol:), but at least the quality of the sounds pretty decent, I think. I'm sorry for the shaking or heads blocking the view, but I'm not that told and especially during the second half I stood on my tiptoes like most of the time... ;) Anyways, here they are...

Let me tell you, the whole atmosphere was simply out of this world! :heart: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3tpaLI8LTQ]Run[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK2Hm49PQf4]Set the fire to the third bar[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA_M7Pv1--Y]One day like this[/ame] Absolutely amazing! :dead: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz0CKio0Zeg]Lifeboats[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXNc_8Qezf8]You're all I have[/ame] Sorry if there's even more shaking in it than usual, but this song always makes me feel so utterly euphoric, I can't keep still. :lol: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdoXv4ftA7M]Chasing Cars[/ame] Interesting version, isn't it? :) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hb3YHJ6Zls]If there's a rocket tie me to it[/ame] It's a pity I didn't film Nathan towards the end, he was moving/dancing/whatever like a maniac, it just looked hilarious. :lol: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i-Z9kPc5wk]Shut Your Eyes[/ame]

I just want to go back home. This is not the place where I feel home anymore. Why does time pass by so (too?) quickly?!

Do you mean the video I posted on twitter? I'm afraid that's not mine. I've got one of the song as well, but let's just say the quality slightly differs from this one... :lol: ;) I'm going to post my videos later, I already started uploading. ;) Thanks! :) Also thank you very much to everyone who crossed his fingers for us! :) Well, as we waited like 3 hours all in all and the boys all came out at different times, the group of people waiting for them grew smaller and smaller as the time passed by. At the end with Nathan and Johnny being the last ones, I guess we were only about 6-10 people. After that, their manager and their security came out who told us that no band member was in the venue anymore and that Gary had already left straight after the gig since he's got to sing about 3 hours each night 3 days in a row (probably needed some rest and no "aftershowparty" like the other guys)... :\ Bless him, though.

@Bernard: They indeed played "One day like this". It was EPIC! Okay guys, as you can see, I'm back from my little trip to London and I'm still SO lost for words! Really, words just can't describe how great last night's gig was, it simply was out of this world! And I really mean that seriously! :) The boys were in top form, constantly smiling, grinning and having a good time - one could really see and feel that! Especially Gary was so full of love, he literally had to share it with the audience and hugged several lucky people. :lol: Anna got most of the action between the songs captured (and took such stunning photos as well!), so I think you're all going to see that sooner or later... :) Unfortunately, 90% of my photos turned out crappy, but the videos seem to be quite okay, at least the sound (which was SUPERB in the RAH). :) I managed to get both setlists and I'll try to post them later. We also waited about 3 hours for the boys to come out and eventually met all of them except for Gary (:\). They were all just SO lovely and kind. :cheesy: I guess that's all for now, I'm sorry. I just arrived at home and should unpack my stuff and so on... I'll try to write a proper review or at least post my few photos and videos, but that might take some time, so I can't promise anything at the moment... ;)

@Kimmi: I know I've said it like a thousend times already, but I'm really glad you had such a fab time! :) I'm looking forward to reading your review and seeing your photos, but I guess that will have to wait until late next week... ;) @Jen: About the boxset... I'm still waiting for mine. I'm a bit gutted because I got the confirmation that it has been sent about 15 days ago and I still haven't received it... :\ It'd have been really great to get it before I leave for London, but oh well... I just guess it'll be a bit difficult for me to resist when I see a copy of the album in a record store in London and knowing that I shouldn't buy it... :rolleyes: Well, I'm off now. I'm excited as hell and already pretty scatterbrained already. :lol: I hope eveyone's got a nice weekend and talk to you guys soon! :hug:

Ja, also wegen Montag können wir ja morgen nochmal reden, oder? Und dann können wir ja schauen, wie wir's machen. :) Schätz' auch, dass ich bald in die Federn verschwinde... Schlaf gut und bis morgen dann (immer noch eine ziemlich surreale Angelegenheit, findest du nicht?). :hug: Nacht ihr und bis bald! :)

Ja, so geht's mir auch... Obwohl 'n bisschen mehr Schlaf wahrscheinlich auch nicht schaden würde. :lol: Hab' davon gelesen, ja... Aber ich glaub', ist nicht so passend für mich, weil ich bin ja kein Forummitgliedin dem Sinn und sowieso weiß ich nicht, ob's geht... Ab wann ist das denn? Müssen ja noch unsere Tickets abholen und ich wollt ja mal noch gucken, ob ich irgendwie noch'n anderes Ticket krieg... Darfst du etwa nur 9kg mitnehmen? Wir haben auch nur einen mit maximal 15kg. Aber ins Handgepäck dürfen auch 10, also da muss ich schonmal gut kalkulieren, damit auch sämtliche CDs und Bücher, die ich kaufen mag, reinpassen. :lol: @Nicole: Okay, das ist in der Tat 'n bisschen hart... Aber du kannst dir's ja noch überlegen. ;) Würd' mich auf jedenfall freuen!

@Nicole: Ne ne... Seit ich das Rosebowl-Konzert angeguckt hab', liebäugle ich ja auch eher mit dem Stehplatz... Aber wenn ich alleine gehen würde, hätte ich halt echt keine Lust, da ewig alleine anzustehen... Deswegen wär ich dann halt doch eher für den Sitzplatz. ;) @Anna: Oh, hallo! :hug: Auch noch wach? :lol: Oh man, ich kann noch gar nicht einschlafen, so hibbelig bin ich. :lol:

Auja, komm doch mit nach München! :dance: Fänd' ich sehr toll. :D

Here's another video from Brighton: [ame= ] [/ame] I'd actually managed to resist listening to the new songs as I wanted to wait until the new record is here, but seeing as my box set still hasn't arrived (:( and I'm actually really gutted about that fact because it'd have been too great to receive it before I head to the UK), I finally decided to listen to the two new songs as I wanted to be able to sing along to them next week... And I couldn't resist any longer anyway. :lol: But boy, those songs are so damn GORGEOUS! I'm especially in love with "Give me strength", I'd already fallen in love with the sneakpeek... Listening to the whole song for the first time really made me cry because it's just so plain beautiful and such a nice "lovesong" about the band. :) Having watched all those videos from Brighton, I started to feel so fidgety about next week! I'm sure this is going to be grand, even though my seat might be a bit of a bummer... :thinking::\ Still looking forward to it SO much! :dance: Everyone who's going to see them tonight: Enjoy yourselves and have a blast! :) I'm looking forward to reading your reviews tomorrow. :D

Here are some of my favourite covers: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKd0vNySl5Q]Snow Patrol - One day like this[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB15rlMekts]Snow Patrol - Wonderwall[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oERIXjkR0JI]James Blunt - Young Folks[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWB9OaCFC54]Keane - Disco 2000[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_RZJP3yk_o]Snow Patrol - The Blower's Daughter[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBLT_Fxu6rk]The Kooks - Kids[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIVmLHLZyoc]James Blunt - Breakfast in America[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZivRD3ADUQ]James Morrison - Man in the mirror[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvN0O7jkbQI]Kate Nash - Fluorescent adolescent[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tQL2vOhzf0]James Blunt - Where is my mind[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzg2YWJhqrA]Nerina Pallot - The Fear[/ame]

I really like his music and I believe he's one of the best songwriters out there right now. It's just a shame it's taking him so long to get out a new album... :( I got to see him twice in 2007 and both times were absolutely great! Sadly, I never got the chance to see him together with Lisa Hannigan as she quit the band exactly at the day of the first gig I went to in Munich... I think it even started later and everybody was wondering why... And the audience was even more puzzled when Lisa was nowhere to be seen and the whole atmosphere on stage was rather awkward... :confused: It's a real pity because I think the music the two of them made was something very special. :\
