1/19
& 24-25/03 - Big Day Out/Sydney Metro Show - Sydney, Australia
By Nina
Ok my report is from the gold coast big day out, the sydney big day out, and
the sydney metro show. 19th, 24th, 25th.
first things first.. i scored a setlist from the gold coast show, then got
it signed by the boy on the 24th! best day of my life.. now i have a signed
poster, setlist, and 2 cds. the fellas are so nice and friendly...anyway,
the songs they played at all the big days outs are as follows:
the dance
jag tune
truth
human
the people
ttlrawi
disco
the walls get smaller
and the metro
show were the same and about 10 more, including alone, getaway, float, turn
out the light, etc. these shows were the highlights of my life, (granted i
am only 18) they absolutely went off, the boys were incredibly nice, robs
dancing was awesome and phil can really play the drums... i told the boys
how i scored a setlist by bribing a security guard with a smoke, and they
laughed.. they looked hot (it was a 40 degree day) but like they were having
fun. the gold coast show was small, like people didnt realise what band they
were seeing. the vines played at the same time, so that could have explained
it. anyway, once the people and ttlrawi were played the crowd fully got into
it, especially after robs urging to "dance dance!" the sydney metro
was pure heavan, rob interacted with the audience a bit more, and the signiature
octopus dance was there. everyone was dancing along, it went off. highlights
included alone, getaway and float.
the sydney bdo was an open air stage, instead of a tent (at gold coast) and
the crowd were fully into it, after hearing how the music are the "must
see" band of 2003. rob was followed around by a camera filming for our
aussie music channel, and he looked in his element. phil couldnt stop smiling,
and adam loked like he was lost in his own little world. being up the front
for each show (against the fence) i could see it all, and it was amazing.
i think stu hurt his finger at the sydney show, he looked in pain. anyway
happy bday stu! the crowd wanted more after each performance, and everyone
who saw them in australia wants them to come back! good luck conquering the
world boys, cos you have certainly conquered australia!
