-Songs on the set list that he didnt end up playing - Army & Kate.
Bummer about not getting those last two songs. But that's ok. I'm pretty pumped. I was able to get in the backstage waiting area (I had my fan club lanyard on... i was totally lame, but it worked!! it got me in there) hung out waiting for about 50 minutes. He came out. Signed his setlist, signed my shirt for the 5th time and got a few photos.
He was really chilled and relaxed because he hadnt yet stepped outside. Where about 15-20 people were waiting. Once he got out there he was still cool but yea, it was nice having a semi-private moment with him.
I told him that I will try and come to Sunday's show and that if he could play Where's Summer B, it would be great. He told me that Sunday is a 'Requests Only' show. Where the audience make 100% requests. So I immediately rattled off a bunch of songs for him to MUST play. Video, Underground, Where's Summer B. He told me to write it down and he'll rock them out.
So I dont actually have tickets for Sunday night but you can best believe i'll be there with some form of bells strapped to my chest.
I have never sat so close in any show before and to literally watch him 3 metres away playing piano was mesmorising. I am so fulfilled right now!
I also recorded the show on my phone. All 98 minutes of it. I'm going to upload and break it into tracks then work with Andy to get it up on WUWTL.
Peace.
Oh. PS: Aimee Mann, whom I dont really know - she wrote the music for something... anyways, gotta say, even though I dont know her as a performer, that it wasnt her greatest night on stage. But it appeared she didnt really know 'You Dont Know Me'. So yea.
The Hornby songs were just epic. Instant hits in my opinion and that album will dominate!
