mimesereThey're showing the full concert on Bravo, so. New post. Also, is it just me or is the sound mix REALLY off?
I think people should come on LJ Talk or AIM and watch with me (mimesere on both LJ Talk and AIM). Er. I am on PST, so that is what I am seeing because of GODDAMN TAPE DELAY.
OMG, such AWFUL sound mixing wtf. Yes, I'm going to keep bitching about this.
New York
Kenna: I have no idea who this guy is. But he is totally hot. I would give an opinion on the music if the sound mix weren't so shitty. Oh well, I can just ogle him and his band and the hotness.
KT Tunstall: I like her! But man, she's wearing some unfortunate gold leggings.
Taking Back Sunday: MADE OF AWESOME.
Keith Urban: As my sister said, "Oh, is he out of rehab?" I am kind of like, eh about him, but Alicia Keys came out and sang with him and she looked and sounded amazing. OH MY GOD, WILL THIS SET NEVER END? oh, it just did.
Ludacris: LUDA! I LOVE YOU!
AFI: Hah! I was totally right about tight trousers guy being Davy Havoc from AFI. I really really swear they didn't used to be so emo. Or am I think of another band? They've been around for like, ever, right? Wow, those really are obscenely tight pants there, dude. But they have been around forever, right? Because like, I know the Offspring were like, "OMG, AFI is totally one of the bands that influenced us!" Or something. Davy was voted hottest vegetarian (male) in the PETA polls. Andy Hurley came in second. Kristen Bell took it for the ladies. Oh, now they are covering Bowie. Yay!
Sugar, We're Going Down - ROCK OUT BOYS! Is this going to be capslock? Yes, yes it is. HI PATRICK! HI! OMG what in the fuck, sound guys? OH PATRICK. JOE! ANDY! OH MY GOD SOUND GUYS, WHAT THE FUCK. I'm actually really impressed that Patrick's overcoming the shitty mixing.
OH PATRICK. HI. PETE. PATRICK. I don't even know which one of you guys I love more right now.
Thnks Fr Th Mmrs - I still love the deepened voice at the beginning of this song. So much. JOE! Rock the fuck out, boo! ANDY! Oh, PATRICK. Seriously. I love you for loving what you are doing.
Dance Dance - Yes, I still love this best live. Patrick OWNS THIS SONG WITH A MIGHTY FIST. SUCH A MIGHTY FIST. Oh, Andy, I love how you rock out! And Joe!
I Write Sins, Not Tragedies - OH I LOVE YOU GUYS. SERIOUSLY.
This Ain't A Scene, It's an Arms Race - Yay! He's cussing! ROCK THE FUCK OUT, GUYS! I love this song so much. It is another song that Patrick owns with a mighty, mighty fist. Andy! Andy! STRUT, PATRICK, STRUT! SWEAR, PATRICK, SWEAR! Oh, the screaming remains hot.
Interviewing thing: Patrick, how are you STILL WEARING THAT JACKET? How much do I love that the interviewer guy apparently thought Patrick was the spokesguy. And oh, SO ADORABLE. Seriously.
Akon: Heee. Is it bad that "Don't Matter" is now a Patrick song in my head? Because -- holy cow, is that one dude wearing a plaid utiliity kilt? -- it so totally is. Though I may be the only person I know who likes Akon's version too.
John Mayer: OMG, Akon was like, "Oooh, I have to go see John Mayer!" and then all of a sudden I went, "Hee! You are kind of adorable!" And hey, John Mayer got less funny looking and a great deal hotter. And the sound mix continues to be utterly crap.
Melissa Etheridge: EEEEE YAY.
FOO FIGHTERS (not in NY, but they are the Foo Fighters so I don't care): DAVE GROHL HI HI HI. HI. OMG I LOVE YOU.
Alicia Keys: Uh, hey, so have I mentioned that I -- HOLY CRAP, MISS ALICIA, PLEASE DO ME NOW -- omg. I LOVE YOU ALICIA. MERCY MERCY ME FTW.
Dave Matthews Band - I...largely just find them irritating. Like I find U2 of today. Which I'm sure makes me a horrible person. But ooooh, trumpet playing is always FTW.
Kelly Clarkson - She's looking very good! I...hope they play Miss Independent. Because that's pretty much the song I know. that and the hazel eyes song. Oh! Since U Been Gone! Butch Walker covered this!
Heard 'Em Say! EEEEE! The only way this would be better is if he pulled Adam Levine out with him! Or got Patrick to sing that part!
All Falls Down! OMG! Man, Kanye, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. I'm totally tickled that you are doing your Social Conscience songs to start off your set.
Gold Digger = WINNER. This song is *hilarious*. And if I cared more, I would probably vid Vala to it. But right now I am dancing, so.
Stronger - Sorry, still dancing. AHAHAHAHA OH THE GLASSES.
Diamonds from Sierra Leone - And we are back to the social conscience songs! Oh, KANYE. I fucking love this song. LOVE.
Can't Tell Me Nothing - Um, hands up everyone looking the fuck forward to Graduation.
Jesus Walks - STILL FUCKING AWESOME. STILL. IT WILL NEVER NOT BE A FUCKING AMAZING SONG.
Touch the Sky - *dances more*
This was SUCH A FUCKING AWESOME SET OMG.
Beastie Boys: SABOTAGE! *rocks out* Ahahahaha! Mike D! What are you doing?
Bon Jovi: Please play songs I know, okay? *rocks out happily* IT'S MY LIIIIIIIFE! IT'S NOW OR NEVER! Hey, um, dude with the gigolo shirt. Button that up, okay? EEEEE WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE! EEEE! Oh, man, LIVIN' ON A PRAYER! ROCK! I am kind of unapologetically a fan of this song. OHHHHH WE'RE HALFWAY THERE OH OH LIVIN' ON A PRAYER. Um, yes, so, I really like singing classic 80s Bon Jovi. 'cause dude. DUDE.
Foo Fighters: "Best of You" - DAVE GROHL, HOW ARE YOU SO AWESOME? And damn, he got like ten times hotter.
Smashing Pumpkins - Billy Corgan, you look like an escapee from a facility for the criminally insane. I wish I liked Smashig Pumpkins more, but Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness did nothing for me. However, you will have to pardon me while I rock out right now. *sings along with the rat in a cage lyric*
Roger Waters - sadly, I am totally ot paying any attention even though Roger Waters is pretty damn awesome. OOOH THE WALL.
Lenny Kravitz - *rocks the fuck out, in spite of the INCREDIBLY SHITTY SOUND. SERIOUSLY YOU GUYS, WHAT THE HELL? also, DO ME DO ME DO ME, LENNY KRAVITZ.
UB40 = pile of meh.
The Police - Um. We're closing with the Police? Really? That's...an odd choice. Guys, you know you have to close your set with Roxanne, right? I am underwhelmed so far. Okay, well, here's Roxanne. WAIT WAIT WAIT DID STING SERIOUSLY JUST WIMP OUT ON ROXANNE? REALLY? OH MY GOD HE DID. STING WIMPED OUT ON ROXANNE. WHAT THE FUCK? This...wow. WOW. THEY MANAGED TO SUCK THE ROCK OUT OF ROXANNE. Dude, you guys, no wonder the tour reviews have been so shitty if this is the show people are getting. This is just a world of no. OH MY GOD, JOHN MAYER SHOULD NOT BE OUTPLAYING THE POLICE. I. I don't understand. What? Kanye? What? This is maybe the saddest thing I've ever seen. THE POLICE SUCKED SO HARD THEY MANAGED TO MAKE KANYE NOT AWESOME.
...Duff wasn't this annoying before. I know she wasn't.
And okay, now they are rerunning performances from the other venues! WTF!
Okay, Billy Corgan, that shit was JUST TACKY. WOW.
So far? Best set from LE: New York = Bon Jovi, followed very very closely by Kanye West and Alicia Keys. I would not have guessed that I would put Bon Jovi ahead of Kanye like, ever, but no, that set totally fucking rocked.
