  1. This review Travis posted on twitter is better:

    http://www.geeks.co.uk/25992-blink-182-live-leeds-festival

    Its Leeds btw.

    That was a really good one. I couldn't help but notice that the reviewer is pretty young though. Like, my age. Lolz.

    Right, I was reading it, and he said he wasn't in music at the age of 13, and wasn't til he first heard I Miss You on a compilation, he can't be any older than 20 or 19, and I'd guess he's even a little younger than that.

  2. The sound was phenomenal and the atmosphere was even better! My only critism is that i actually felt nervous that Mark and Tom were going to fall out on stage. Tom was clearly very very drunk, slurring, messing up guitar parts, and in certain songs, such as josie he just refused to play the guitar in them. Mark actually said 'Tom are you going to play this one?!' half way through the song! I do feel for Mark and Travis as they do seem like real professionals who work hard at what they are doing, while Tom turns up and is drunk, plays what he wants and sings what he wants. I still enjoyed the show, i just am not sure what the future holds as I do think Tom's passion is AVA not Blink.

    Well Mark tweeted that he thought it was their greatest concert ever, so any friction you felt between them was probably just in your head.

  3. Decent selection, but so far I think I liked the Tees at last years tour a little better.  Especially the baseball tee, with the three of them drawn cartoonishly and the blink smile below and blink-182 above.  I've got that one and it is still to date, my favorite blink tee. (though the self titled album cover is a close second, which I also have from the 2004 tour)

  4. Allow me to geek out for a moment.  Would be kickass if they played a new song tonight and someone gets a good bootleg.

    I'm not expecting it based on Mark's comments about there return with a new song needing to special and not something everyone hears for the first time live on youtube.

    But I personally wouldn't care about that.  Plus it has been a year since then, maybe this thought has changed.

    Would be so kickass.

    found on: http://pickrset.com/bands/blink182/

    looks like they now have a pretty solid tour from Aug 16 through Sep 4th.  granted thats not a long time, but at least just about every day to every other day now has a show.  Makes me wish I was in Europe this summer.

  6. I had a lot of fun and got really close to the band (only like 2 or 3 people from the front). but I wasn't as big a fan of this show as I was the Milwaukee show.  Milwaukee felt like it had more heart than this show (with more jokes between Mark and Tom as well as Mark's final drum solo) plus Milwaukee had the same setlist with at least 3 more songs (Go, Blow Job, and Country Song), still, last night they sounded amazing, the love was clearly still there (they hugged after down), and there were some pleasant new surprises like Mark singing the intro to Reckless Abandon and the kickass long new intro to carousel

  7. Oh man, i've been away and doing shit the last five days or so, i didn't get a chance to comment on how fucking awesome this concert was.  It was fucking amazing, and Mark and Tom's chemistry was great, even with Tom getting progressively drunker throughout the night, and he still sounded great even while drunk.  I loved this part: Mark: Who am I? (starts flailing arms like in the adventure music vid) "It's Magic, It's Magic, It's Magic..."  Tom responds: Yeah, well who am I? (makes dick sucking motion) Mark: Your sister?  haha the screens showed a close up on Travis and he was laughing his ass off

    What a great fucking show, can't wait another week and two days to see them again

    also I got one of those rabbit toys and the 3/4 tee with the cartoon looking versions of Mark Tom and Travis with the blink smiley, so awesome
