My Review For Opening Night!!!!! Old fan here
My boyfriend and I went down to the forum ticketless. I have done the scene for years, so I knew I would be able to get tickets in order: box office, then a fellow fan, and the dreadful scalper. I got tickets at the box office but I had to wait over an hour, well worth it!!!!!!!!!
We took the 105 W and got off of praie b/c everyone else was on Manchester. It is an old local secrect!!!!!
Yes, I admit ticket prices were a bit high but I think it is like everything else in this world; INFLATION! We got riser seats in the floor a little above the floor seats. We were a little above the heads of peeps on the floor. Great stage view!
My review:
I have seeen them 6 plus times since ROBTTH. My first show was the El Ray show back in the day. All of the shows during that time lasted farrrrr less than 75 mins, so I knew with 4 albums I would get at least 90 mins of music. Its not the cure who play for three hours,lol. I could have or should say liked a 2 hr set but I took what I got and ran with my memories!!! All of you should do the same.
The set was very good for opening night w/ a few miss haps to be expected. I knew going into the show that most of the set would be the new album but that was ok b/c this is the viva tour:)
The crowd was awesome. One of the best crowds i have ever seen at a CP show and all the shows I have been to ( that is alot). I love the energy, the wave while waiting for the late arriving show start. I heard a roadie mention they were still in traffiic or the touring staff, was not sure.
No need to go song by song. I took the songs that get me in my heart (most of them) and left the show with a smile.
It almost seems they have taken the role of U2 with all of the stage effects!
Peace out everyone. Drink ur Granda today!
