gloria_fades Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 So I met up with some friends in Oldham about 2 hours before the gig and got the train from Mumps station to Victoria,we needed to sell two extra tickets my one of my friends had so we went up to the HMV where the signing had been and went up to a few ramdom people to ask if they were interested in buying a ticket.We eventually found some dude to sell the tickets and we then set off to the venue and along the way we stopped off and Subway to get a bite to eat,when we got to the venue the the que was massive there must have been about nearlly hundred or more people waiting.We saw some other friends in the line so we went to meet them and got a place in the que,we wait for about 45 minutes and then went in.We didn't get right at the front but we got most in the middle which was pretty good,Lost Alone were the first band on and they were awesome and I started a mosh pit with a few other people but my friends weren't enjoying being pushed and shoved around lol,next up were This Providence who in my opinion were absolutely boring they sound exactly like the Academy Is and the singer acts and looks like William Becket.So afer that we waited for about 45 minuted for Paramore to grace the stage and when they finally did it was just mass hysteria and it was just awesome,they played hit after hit and I loved every moment of it.Quite supprisingly there was mosh pits opening every where and people crowd surfing which I did not expect at all but it was all great none the less. The set list was Misery Business Emergency Here We Go Again Thats What You Get Crushcrushcrush When It Rains Let The Flames Begin For A Pessimist I'm Pretty Optimistic Born For This Woa Pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paramorerocks20 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 i think they should take out whoa and put in a diff old song... like conspiracy or never let this go. and i think for a pessimist... would be a great opener!

gloria_fades Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Why the hell did they do that? I know they did the signing earlier on but that was terribly organized and many fans didn't get in.They should have at leats said hi and signed some stuff for fans.
