Perth photos and story

[Jessii]

Thanks so much for the ticket sarah otherwise i wouldn't of been able to go.

Only got to see TLE for 2 minutes, waited around for soundcheck but tour manager wouldn't let us in (first soundcheck of theirs i wasnt allowed in for) they were rushed inside real fast and quickly said to Chris "Need ticket!! Only have one between us!" He said "Oh shit wait here and i'll see what i can do."
Came out after soundcheck saying "I am soo soo sorry but they won't even let me put one more name on the guestlist. Sorry!!!"
Paul said "Its ok.. i don't have anymoney cause I spent everything recording bands EP" and gave Chris their EP, so he was happy. Then by some miracle a friend called me saying "We have a spare ticket do you want it?" Chris told us to hang out after, but it was pouring with rain so we didn't bother.

Old tour manager Al was there!
He remembered us and said he is now working in the mines, because after working for Wolfmother (i don't think i should use the words he used to describe them) he could never bring himself to work in the music industry again.

Woody was also there. Spoke to him about forum problem. He said "Yeah right now Glenn and Kev are doing a good job controlling it, but i don't think gonna be able to get rid of it without making a whole new forum, and i don't want to leave you guys without a forum for awhile."
I said we do have a temp forum that was made last time it died, and he said "Oooh ok that's good to know."
He also said that they are working on a section for the website, for the many many videos they have of the band.
I said how lots of forum peeps want to see the making of the Wake Up video, because i was one of the few who had it and lost it.
He said "Oooh ok hang on one sec!" and called someone, who i'm assuming was Rae, saying "Hey you know how we're working on the vid section? Apperently most of the kids want the making of Wake Up.. we have that yeah??"
Then came back out saying "Sorry but she said she hates that video so much, that it will never be allowed on the site. Sorry, i love you forum kids so much, your the most dedicated fans.

*Emo rant*
I hate the lighting guy who decided to put giant strobes onstage just before TLE started, and seemed to think that they should match every single fecking fast drumbeat. Spent whole gig having to wear sunglasses.

songs that were played as far as i can remember
raise the alarm
white noise
loaded gun
make the call
long live the weekend
wake up
prisoner
west end riot
all torn down
eboogie

[Ben reed]

wow some cool photos there
you sure did take heaps!

[Jessii]

My camera has a function, where if you don't let go of the button, it literally takes a photo every second, which is awesome for gigs.

[Ben reed]

niceeeeeeee
im always scared that ill break my camera in the mosh at gigs...

[Colezy]

Great work Jess!!! :D

Nice photos and story!!

And remember - a gig with sunnies on is better than a gig without them and being on the floor/in hospital/outside the venue/etc etc!!

[Jessii]

I had a letter to give Chris but i chickened out. *blushes*

[monkeyman]

wow! it looks and sounds amazing!
i cant wait til i see them... :D

[Strider]

They also played a new song which we hadn't heard before! Loved 'Read About It', no-one else really knew it.
They also played a more mellow version of Who's Gonna Save Us? which built up at the 2nd chorus.

[Fritz]

wow chris isnt using his 4 wizard cabnets

anyway thanks for the pics jess!
i wish i could go on this tour but ah well
hhaha
and did they play more songs than you listed?

I said that in the muso forum about 4 months ago! ;)

[Fritz]

thanks heaps the for words and photos jess!!! :)

[Colezy]

I had a letter to give Chris but i chickened out. *blushes*
I was going to ask you about that, knowing that I didn't get to give it to him in Melb for the triple j gig!

I still have it if you want me to try again in a few weeks?

Awesome :cool:
Any idea what the new song was called or how it went or something?

three very cools there :)

see kids - just cos there was only so many songs demoed before WN came out doesn't mean that can't make more!!

awesome pics again Jessii!

[Kacky]

Sweet! New song. Would like to hear more. :cool:

[Colezy]

If Melbs get the new song and/or Read About it, I shall try to record!!

[Jessii]

Awesome :cool:

Different letter, another forumer managed to pass that one on for me :)
I dunno, like i had every chance to give it to him when he was all "Hey Jess how are you?" But Steve was telling everyone to move and there were so many people, and thats the most intimidated and scared i've felt around the band since 03. Maybe it's cause it had been 2 yrs since i've seen them.
Convo with Woody was pretty much the only time i spoke.

You all know how great i am at rambling my head off at Chris, but i just couldn't speak this time!

[Shadow]

Holy **** - READ ABOUT IT. That's awesome. I've always wanted to hear that song. I wonder if they'll rotate it with other lesser heard songs on the tour... or some more goodies from Roll On (Silent Victory, anyone)?

Anyone else got anything on the "new song"?

[Jessii]

I don't think they even said anything before they played the new one. I kinda assumed it was a cover at first, but everyone i've asked have no clue what it was either.

[Bree]

Hi Jessii - great pics! I'm assuming you were on the balcony?

I have no idea what the new song was either... I would have said an obscure cover that Chris has made his own, but now I'm not so sure... Maybe we'll see it as a b-side on the next single?

[Sarah]

it wasn't shes calling out was it?

[Bree]

Sarah, I think it might have been now that you mention it...

[Jessii]

Oh and girls, the full size versions of these photos are friking huge, and my bf said "Since those Andy shots are so well lit, if some of the girls who love him on forum like the pics, send them the giant files cause i can picture them having them as wallpaper" :P

Kinda proud, cause normally Paul take cam off me and gets the good shots. But i took every single one of these myself :)

[Sarah]

Sarah, I think it might have been now that you mention it...

just that i asked someone on myspace about the new song and they said it was that...but they might have thought i was just talking about the last released song, so i'm not sure!

[Big J.G]

Read About It eh? That is just sweet.

Any classics that haven't been performed live before I would LOVE to hear them.

[Jessii]

There was a kid who looked under the age of 10 they let into soundcheck as he wouldn't get to see them for a few yrs yet! :)

[Big J.G]

lucky kid!!!

[Flaming_Ice]

it wasn't shes calling out was it?

It definitely wasn't She's Calling Out.

Oh and they played Sum of Us too.

[Big J.G]

the only way for them to really surprise us is if they play a song that really slipped under the radar on release.

...Leilani don't go to the volcano....

lolNO

[Sarah]

It definitely wasn't She's Calling Out.

Oh and they played Sum of Us too.

ooohh, cool, thanks!

[The Dying Start]

Nice stuff, thanks Jessii and folks!

[Jessii]

Oh and Sarah, Chris said "Girl from Tas got you a ticket? SHES AWESOME"

[Sarah]

Well, duh! :p

Only took him 10 years to figure that out!

[Aaron]

Haha, nice one Jessii :)

Was 'Read About It' the Midnight Oil song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joto7Bqnf5o)? Surprised no-one asked yet.

[The Dying Start]

I think everyone just presumed that is was the TLE song...since they were the band playing on the night! :p

[Aaron]

Well for such an 'old' song, it could have gone either way :)

[Sarah]

ahhh, has flash backs to the pre-Roll On era, when speculation was rife over whether TLE were going to have a cover on an album :p

[The Dying Start]

God, flashback much? I only remember that because you brought it up!

[Kacky]

AHHHHHHHHHH! Sum Of Us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Big J.G]

God help those who don't help the others...

[r2jeeves]

Yes...those are the lyrics. You are correct.

[Kacky]

You win the prize!

[The Dying Start]

Don't be a downie, Chelsea.

[Big J.G]

Sick mate.

[Big J.G]

You think next show they'll play something outrageously cool like 'Sleep On It' or 'Do What I Do'

LOL no.

[Shadow]

You think next show they'll play something outrageously cool like 'Sleep On It' or 'Do What I Do'

Doubtful, but you never know what tricks the boys may have up their sleeve for this tour... I wonder if they're filming any of the dates for a White Noise Tour DVD at all?

[WhitefalconTLE44]

Man, sum of us and read about it, thats awesome. I really REALLY can't wait until they are over here in the states.

[Colezy]

What was the crowds reaction for Sum Of Us? Did they get into it at all?

[Fritz]

i can imagine it being the early 00's and heaps of losers skanking to it and me wishing I could kill them all.

[Sarah]

I wonder if they're filming any of the dates for a White Noise Tour DVD at all?

I was wondering that myself. Would be cool if they did!

[Deadcat Kaye]

I'ld totally skank to Sum Of Us...But I don't think it'ld be possible in a TLE mosh XD

[The Dying Start]

Yeah, way too many faggots.

[Jessii]

Yeah on subject of dickheads at gigs, at this venue you got booze in plastic cups as glass isnt allowed, and i don't know why people in mosh buy drinks which are expensive, and then throw the full glass at people, in the air, or at the stage. I was on the balcony and got hit in the face with a full cup or beer, and just before they started playing, someone threw a full cup onto the stage, which hit the speaker infront of where Scott stands, and covered it, and the stage in beer, and they had to clean it all before they could start playing.

[WhitefalconTLE44]

Yeah, i hate people like that. just go to a concert to enjoy the music.:D

[Kacky]

Yeah, that's not fun.

I had a cup of beer spill on me at a gig before, because someone had a bowl of smart girl puffs decided to throw it up, meaning her arm had to fling backwards first, which happened to be where I was standing.

[Anfony]

Great pics everyone! I cant wait till next week for the Ctown and W'gong gigs, i'm getting excited!
When they played E - boogie, was it one of those long ones where they basicly wing it till the end?
I'd like to hear them play Stay away from me! Doubt it though.
Cheers.

[WHITE FALCON]

[mattheal]

[The Dying Start]

Looks like a stubby holder to me.

[Kacky]

Oh la la, lookin' good boys!

[Shadow]

I vote that Andy's hat should be included in the band logo from now on :p - it's awesome and a part of the band now.

[Colezy]

hahaha, deary me :p

Thanks for the links Sarah :) I like that blue tee!

[The Dying Start]

It is VERY blue.

[Colezy]

I don't think it really is THAT blue though. I only say that because the colours on the shirt of the girl with him are really bright too.

[The Dying Start]

Yeah, that is a good point.

[Kacky]

Lolz. I like the addition!

[Boom King]

Woody was also there. Spoke to him about forum problem.


I don't think he gets that all he needs to do is switch on the function that makes some sort human authentication happen and there will be less spam.

[Colezy]

I think that Kylie is sick.

She is venturing into General Endness more and more often! :p

[The Dying Start]

Thorpey says Kylie is fully sick.

[|<3|]

pffft, I havn't posted in here for like a month.

i actually dont like that hat
i did at first but now im sick of it

[Colezy]

It looked better with shorter hair. Andy looked better overall with shorter hair!

[The Dying Start]

I concur. Poor personal grooming

Nice! If anyone wants to 'shop in Scott's "miyagi bandana", feel free. Or another Scott object, of course.

Any more Perth reports at all?

[Colezy]

Currently 15 degrees and cloudy with winds at 14km/h.

[Deadcat Kaye]

incorperate a VB or something? :p

I'm hopeless with photo stuff so there's my idea! :D

Currently 15 degrees and cloudy with winds at 14km/h.

...bah. Well played. *facepalm*

[The Dying Start]

Currently 15 degrees and cloudy with winds at 14km/h.

Baha. Your humour sometimes arouses me.

[Sarah]

meh to the hat
shoes would work though!
and i think i found more articles on the perth show, but since my computers hate me i haven't been able to post them...will have to find them again!

[Sarah]

small info on the Darwin show...here (http://www.ntnews.com.au/article/2008/09/16/5914_news_pf.html)

[The Dying Start]

Oh god the NT News' header is totally 80's.

Thanks for the link, Sarah! :)

[Ben reed]

[Jessii]

My new laptop crashed yesterday. They say it can't be fixed and will just be replaced. Meaning i have lost all the original large files of these photos.
WAAAAAH

[Fritz]

well that kinda sucks!!

reminds me i should backup alot of my important stuff on here..

[Sarah]

Jessii - you have the worst luck with electrical stuff!

[Jessii]

I've only had the laptop for 2 friking months.
Maybe it's my "living end curse" that my bf refers to whenever something bad happens at a gig ect.

[Ben reed]

wheres mick
i want info on these strange green marshalls...

mick do u know anything bout them?

[The Dying Start]

Mick knows everything about everything. That's why his name is Mick. Becuase it's short for Mickknowseverythingabouteverything.

[Fritz]

uuummm you mean red ?

[Ben reed]

oh yeah red
haha i look like a dick
anyway whats the deal?

[The Dying Start]

The deal is, you look like a dick. There's not a whole lot more i can tell you about that. The rest is up to you.

[Ben reed]

i dont know wat to say...

[The Dying Start]

The best policy is to move on.
