Columbus Tokio Hotel Concert - Oct. 27, 2008Returned home just after 2:30 a.m. and got my videos ready for uploading. They are uploading to YouTube as I write. I am uploading Live Every Second first as it is simply amazing. Actually – they all turned out quite well (yes – my new camera arrived almost two weeks ago), but I was thinking of doing some still shots when they went into Live Every Second and I wanted to get it on the video (including Tom’s guitar humping since I tend to miss that all the time), so it was on zoom when I started filming. I was stage-side, right by the barrier, and just barely to Bill’s left, but these pictures put me right on stage next to them—all except for the few seconds in the middle when they were pulling out a girl right over my head and it got worse for me than when the others were being pulled out. It was crazy in the pit – they pulled out about 4 girls before the concert even began and I swear they pulled out about 40 all together – I didn’t keep count – but I couldn’t, there were so many!
We arrived at the Newport Music Hall just before 11:00 a.m. and the line wasn’t too long. I had done my homework though and found that membership in the Newport Music Hall’s Decibel Club provided preferred (early) entrance, so there were only two gals in that line in front of us – Kayly and Juda (forgive me if I spelled your names wrong – I’ll have to check and correct if necessary). It was quite cold – but I kept telling myself that it was no where as bad as Toronto was in February… and there were lots of places to go to warm up, grab a bite to eat or a cup of cappuccino. And thanks to my friend Amy (who lives / works in the Columbus area) for bringing by steaming hot chocolate and lots of cups to share – I still don’t know how you kept it so hot on the way there! They let us inside just before 7:00 p.m. (so about 8 hours outside) and we got nearly center stage – right up front by the barrier. Wow – awesome view. The curtain (with the Tokio Hotel symbol) dropped a bit past 8:30 as Tokio Hotel went into Break Away for their opening song. The rest of their set was Final Day, 1000 Oceans, Love is Dead, Live Every Second, Through the Monsoon, Black, Scream, Don’t Jump, Raise Your Hands Together, Ready Set Go!, and By your Side. They then returned for two encores, first performing Rescue Me and then Durch den Monsun. I thought I’d be disappointed that it was the same songs as almost every other time that I have seen them – but found myself thoroughly enjoying it none-the-less. I videoed all but Black and Rescue Me as I used those songs to get some still-shots of the guys. Bill looked awesome in the silver jacket and silver jeans with the black down the outside and many chains around his neck, including two crosses – the suspenders he wore were great as well – be sure to check out the back views in the videos. Tom also had some glitter to his shirt –wow! We decided to call this the Lingerie Concert as first one girl shot a bra onstage – Bill picked it up – held it while he sang and placed it on the microphone – another came up that Bill picked up and put on Georg’s microphone – the next thing you knew the stage was deluged with brassieres. The band really seemed to enjoy the show tonight as well with Gustav really getting into the audience – actually smiling a – and taking the time to get the crowd to go even more crazy after the show. Allison (my daughter who was actually next to me for this one—first Tokio Hotel concert since Toronto that we were side-by-side) got one of Gustav’s drumsticks and a copy of the set list. We’d originally given this to Andy (the great guy that goes to Ohio State that we met in line and stood on my other side during the concert) as he collects them for his walls, but then they got the set list up off the stage where it had been taped so he kept that one instead and gave the other back to Allison. Hey if you read this – hi Andy, Conner and Brittany (again – hope I spelled your names right) – it was great sharing the line with you. Also high to Streamer (from Tokio Hotel America) who was up from Texas for the concert and to Marjeana-concertchk. It was great meeting you! Too bad we didn’t get to talk more (I should have gone to Starbucks with you and let someone else hold my place in line…!)
