Title: Melbourne show
Post by rzezniksangel on Nov 6^th, 2011, 3:19pm

Just spent the last 2 nights with Ryan Star...and last night with Goo. I'm exhausted, but have been to the 2 greatest concerts of my life. Last night the guys were so energetic, and happy, and talkative. It was incredible. The theater was small...and a TON of people sat almost the whole time. My friend and I were the only ones at the end of our row standing & dancing & singing...Robby & Korel kept laughing and smiling at us...it was awesome! Wanted to share my pics....i haven't turned a lot of them because FB is being a pain in the butt today...but at least they're up :)

Ah, you got off some good pics, Melissa; thanks for sharing.

(Don't ya just get all claustrophobic when everyone around you has decided to remain sitting? You don't want to block someone else's view, but you're dancing in your seat, going nuts...)

I'm so glad you had a great time at both shows. I'll never understand sitting down at a rock show. How can you sit ... unless it's Yanni!?!

Thanks for sharing your pictures. You got some really great shots.

It was killing me that everyone was sitting. We came in about 3 songs into Ryan's set...and were told by the ushers that we weren't allowed to stand. He got mad about 3/4 of the way towards his set and started yelling for everyone to stand up. Which they finally did. John just kept shaking his head when people would sit back down and he even took a few jabs at all of them. I thought it was pretty rude that they'd all sit when Robby would start singing. I kept on dancing around and singing louder to annoy them :)

Good for you. I've noticed that at a few of my shows too...people sitting when Robby sings. It's just rude. I'm glad you kept standing.

If it's any consolation they didn't come near me either. I would have loved to have seen Ryan Star.

I'm so happy they brought the tour close enough for me to go. I probably should have gotten a hotel & spent the night, but getting home at 2:30 in the morning was worth it to see my 2 favorites on the same stage (especially since I asked for the pairing and really never thought it would happen in a million years).

Shannon, here's a link to my pics of Ryan's headlining show the night before Goo...

Hopefully they'll all get back on a major nationwide tour after the holidays so everyone can see them! :)
