Nokia Theater, Los Angeles
Paul Freeman graced the stage with a surprisingly amazing opening act. Armed with just an acoustic guitar and his voice, this Welshman practically blew my mind away. Usually opening acts are just filler that lots of people skip out on, but I'm very glad I witnessed his performance. His guitar strumming sounded beautiful and his voice was so powerful yet so lovely. He also covered The Traveling Wilburys' "Handle With Care"! Definitely gotta check out more of his stuff!
Roger Daltrey came on around 8:00-8:15ish. BOOM the Tommy Overture started and everyone got up. In case you don't know Roger Daltrey is one of my favorite singers of all time, and The Who is probably my favorite classic rock band. Anyhow, the band played through the entire "Tommy" set (skipping the 10-minute long Underture) and the audience was practically standing the entire time. "Pinball Wizard" was an awful lot of fun and so was "We're Not Gonna Take It."
After they finished Tommy, Roger and the band started playing a ton of other songs, ranging from The Who classics to covers! This is the whole setlist:
-I Can See For Miles
-The Kids Are Alright
-Behind Blue Eyes
-Days Of Light (Roger Daltrey solo project)
-Going Mobile (sung by the guitarist, Pete Townshend's younger brother, Simon Townshend)
-Pictures Of Lily
-Freedom Ride (Taj Mahal cover)
-a medley of songs by JOHNNY CASH!
-Who Are You
-Young Man Blues (Mose Allison cover, famously performed by The Who on "Live At Leeds")
-Baba O'Riley
-Without Your Love (Roger Daltrey solo project)
-Blue Red And Grey
Baba O'Riley was the highlight of the night in my opinion. Everyone was dancing, Roger had the audience sing the "Don't cry..." part, and the end of the drum solo really did it for me! ^_^ ahh, I'm so happy! I'm sure hoshi-luv enjoyed it as much as I did!

I've been thinking...
I can't sleep so I think I'll just lay down some of my thoughts...
There's really not much interesting stuff going on with me right now... I'm back in Santa Barbara for the summer, yet the guy who's supposed to give me a summer job still hasn't come to fill out paperwork and stuff yet, so I'm not sure when I'm gonna start working. Basically my days consist of lots of gaming, whether it's League of Legends with my roommates, American McGee's Alice on my computer, or just playing whatever on the PS3. So interesting huh? Still haven't seen HP7.2 yet, though hopefully that will change tomorrow. Speaking of Harry Potter, I don't think that 7
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Prepare yourself for a rant (maybe a bit of spoilers too).............
fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK!
God damn I haven't been this mad in such a long time! This movie was so fucking TERRIBLE! It's not a good thing for a film when you hate EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER AND WANT THEM ALL TO JUST DIE SO THAT THIS TRASH WILL BE OVER! Oh my god... Oh my fucking god... I knew Revenge of the Fallen was shit (I haven't seen it) and my friend was like "OMG Geoff! Let's see Transformers 3 after AX it looks a lot more awesome!" so I complied... BIG MISTAKE! It started off meh, so I was like why not give it a chance to redeem itself after all the bad thing
Why...
Why give love to all if you're not gonna get any back?
Devious Journal Entry
hello hello hello!
just checking in with all of you! Summer school finished in September (thank god) and now I hate psychology! boooooo....
Anyhow, college this year round is pretty cooler than last year, considering that I have five awesome house-mates. About one half of the household plays pokemon and various musical instruments, two guys play a lot of Starcraft and WoW, and we all just get along pretty well. One Friday night, we had a Magic: The Gathering draft in order to build decks to use against each other (yeah, we're pretty geeky). Also, I've also got back in the process of watching a lot of stuff. I finally finished Doctor W

i did enjoy it as much as you did; i convinced "doc herk" (thats her name now) to let me write an essay on it for orchestra because it has ONE song where a string instrument is played with a bow (in blue red and grey the bass is bowed)
