Sentimental-Melancholic Tour Calendar

:#love3#: :#sadlove#: :#love3#: :#sadlove#: :#love3#: :#sadlove#: :#love3#: :#sadlove#: :#love3#: [/align:dlynwqfn]

This calendar is for anyone who got used to FOTC spring tours and suffers from the lack of one this year :#sadlove#: and would like to bring the best moments back. :#love3#: :#cheer#:

Post here your favourite photo(s), video(s) or story(ies) you saw or heard during Bret and Jemaine's tours between 2008-2010. Since it's a calendar, let's keep it in the order of the shows that were on that specific day. I know I'm a little late with this, because I forgot that 2009 started in early April, but we can catch up with the days we missed. And the same if you get late with something you'd like to share or remembered something from the show from a couple days earlier, don't worry, post anyway. I want to make this thread as "
the best of"

Because it's still 26th April on your side of the world, we'll start with [size=150:22pzuw4m]Madison, WI :#cheer#:



Sorry, Jemaine :#shy#: but Bret's face is priceless here :#love3#:

Oh gosh this is awesome. Such a great idea Syl!!! :#glomp#:

I've been super nostalgic lately. Around this time for the past two years I'd be planning and getting excited about the tour and the upcoming show(s) I was attending.

:#cloud9#:


But this feeling was going to come eventually. It would have been awesome to take some time off every spring to catch some gigs and get into some wonderful shenanigans with you guys again. :#heart#: Best times. But it will just make me appreciate Bret and Jemaine and Nigel's (and friends) next go-around of shows. (Canada next, right? :;
): )

Thanks for starting this Syl. :#angel#: :#blowkiss#:

27th April - no show on this day, so catching up with Florida gigs in 2009 [size=150:3oqgffdw]Tampa Bay, Coral Gables and Orlando.

First show of the 2009 tour - Tampa, FL

Just remembering back to the time on the board when the first concert in '09 took place and I really really miss tour time! Ugh! :#lol#: It's so much fun here and going to the concerts and hanging out with Flighties. I hope we can do it all again someday. :#pray#: But I understand if it never happens too. Either way, I hope B &
J know how grateful we are for the memories. :;

I hate the hours I'm working this week... not much time for anything. Hopefully, I can find some stuff to post soon! Great job so far though Syl. :#thumbsup#: :#glomp#: It'll be really interesting once we get to some shows we attended. :#excited#:

ALSO: I remember the first we heard of them performing Sugalumps and getting off the stage into the audience. :#haha#: It was pretty crazy. And the first time they did Demon Woman with the spandex. I don't think that comes until Texas dates in '09 though. :#lol#:

Thanks to all of you! :#glomp#: :#glomp#: :#glomp#: :#glomp#: :#glomp#: :#glomp#:

I'm glad you like the idea and I'm waiting for your favourite photos etc. and memories. Probably most of them will be from the shows you attended to, just as it's going to be with my shows :#love3#: :#excited2#: :#cloud9#:

I was following their 2009 tour on YouTube. I remember coming back home after work and watching all the videos uploaded at night and getting all :#excited2#: :#loveeyes#: :#ded#: and jealous that they tour the US and dreaming of their tour in Europe, which seemed so impossible at that time. :#haha#: :#love3#:

I wish I had more guts to sign into the Board then. I missed all the fun. I knew about you, but I also knew that it can suck me in, and I was right.

[size=150:7vg73yg9]THE VENUE



:#inlove#: :#cloud9#: :#inlove#:

[size=85:7vg73yg9]My all-time favorite venue and the smallest venue they played on their '
09 tour. I passed up shows that were closer to me so that I could see the boys play here. I will never regret it.

:#ded#: :#cloud9#: :#ded#:

[size=85:7vg73yg9]The Ryman staff are absolute nazis when it comes to cameras so there is a depressing lack of pictures from this gig. :(
But I have this one and that is enough.

[size=150:7vg73yg9]BEST MOMENTS

[size=85:7vg73yg9]Hearing Stana for the first time and hearing it in the home of country music. One of those rare moments when life is PERFECT.
The audience sing-along on Carol Brown.
Bus Driver'
s Song with added harmonies from Nigel.
An AMAZING performance of Angels to close the night.

Thank you, Sam :#notworthy#:

My favourite Jem in Nashville pics:





:#loveeyes#: :#love3#:

Some guy shouts, Bret couldn't hear him &
Jemaine picks at our accents by saying he probably said "
Well, shoot my boots!"
Bret gets in on it, too :;
): "
Johnny Cash shot this hole in my boot!"
"
It took me a long time to get here because of this whole in my boot..."

:#lol#:

Right after Nashville, there was [size=150:3e631x2f]Atlanta

Katie, Sam and Sarah (dullflame, formerly earthintruder) were at the gig and from what I read, Katie gave the Penelope doll to Kristen! :#excited#:

Katie wrote:They played Demon Woman for the first time on the tour! :#woo#: For some reason Jemaine played his guitar while sitting at the drum kit. Which was fine by me, as it meant he was temporarily sitting right in front of me. :#ded#: He hit the drums a few times with one stick, trying to look all rock and roll, and then tossed the stick behind him.
[...]
the audience was still singing the chorus, looking around for Bret, who was nowhere to be found.

I like this part of her account :#lol#:



And La Patrie is back! :#aziz#: ( :#sadlove#: )



It's funny how Bret gets lost in the audience and Jemaine stays away at the front row. :#haha#:

I just watched this not that long ago! :#inlove#: :#inlove#: :#inlove#:

Oh Pencils. :#heart#: (I will hear you live. :#pray#: )

and today is 28th April. Two years ago, there was a show in [size=150:3l4c40c5]Chicago.

sally wrote:Some people on the front row left at one point and Bret asked "
Who left? Did they leave?"
Jemaine said, "
If you're asking the people who left if they left, you'll be waiting a long time for an answer."
So they did sit there for a bit in silence as if we were all waiting. They started talking about the set list. The people from the front came back down and Jemaine said, "
We asked you a question before, what's the answer?....They got it right, because they said 'yes'"


[...]

They also apologized after Epileptic Dogs saying "
Some cities get that song. We're sorry it was you."

:#lol#:

After this they apologized for mocking our accents and said that we could have a go at mocking theirs. There were a lot of shouts of "
Prisint"
, a brilliant shout of, "
where's the car?"
, and then a guy who sounded EXACTLY like Rhys yelled out, "
Play the next one Jemaine!"
. Jemaine lost it (and had to repeat it for Bret, who didn't hear what the person said). When he was finished laughing he responded with, "
A good impression and a good suggestion as well."
