Title: WPB review & pics
Post by rzezniksangel on Aug 5^th, 2007, 7:03pm

Ok....so where do I start?

Everyone already knows that I won the passes to the soundcheck. �That went by entirely too fast. �2-1/2 songs, and a quick m&g pic. �Not to mention that I saw that my supposedly third row seat was actually front row!!! �After our pics we had to leave until it was time for the gates to open.

We walked back into the ampitheater while Colbie Callait was on. �She was ok...just not my cup of tea. �We had met her and her band earlier in the day before heading into the soundcheck....they're all really nice!

Lifehouse was up next...and all I can say is WOW. �I had seen them a few years back when they played with Matchbox Twenty, and I remembered them being great...but this time, they were even better. �During "First Time" Jason came down into the crowd...and gave me a quick hug (I was the only one where I was sitting that seemed to know the words to all of the new songs). �He ran through and was giving everyone around a high five....went to the back of the lower level and hung back there for a few minutes before getting back up on stage. �Their set was over entirely too soon.

After Lifehouse, my friend and I were asking security about being allowed to go up to the rail, and he told us that Goo security had requested that noone stands at the rail because apparently at a previous show there were people throwing bottles at them (does anyone know about this?). �So we were bummed....but after a few more minutes, we were informed that the front row was allowed to go to the rail...WOOHOO. �Unfortunately, they were only letting those in the front row of the center section up, and they were checking tickets...so I had to go back to my seat. �But I complained to another security person....so she walked away for a minute, came back, and told me I was allowed up too!!! �Score! �I was in one of the perfect spots! �Not right in the middle, but off to the side. �

So the Goos came on a little after 9....rockin out to "Long Way Down".....I was in heaven!!! �I can't remember the set list to save my life...all I remember is that during soundcheck John had said they were doing setlist B...which I later found out was the one that did not have "Cuz You're Gone", so I was a little bummed about that since that's my favorite song! �But we did get to hear "Naked"...which was really great as well. �I'm still in awe at getting to hear "Slave Girl"...Robby sounded awesome! �There was a lot of "J**** C***** it's hot out here!" coming out of John's mouth....what did he expect? �It's Florida in August LOL. �But the guys were very animated, and seemed like they were having a great time. �Of course almost 2 hours just went by so quickly....their show always leaves you wanting so much more! �I wish I had been able to go to Tampa last night as well...but hopefully next tour I'll be able to hit more shows. �Finally got my pics uploaded...ENJOY!

Thanks for the review Melissa. I'm so happy for you that you ended up with the soundcheck/meet and greet AND front row. It was definitely your show!

Thanks for uploading all your pics. I LOVE the one of Lifehouse that also has the sky and palm trees in the background. Being from the north I get so much pleasure from the sight of a palm tree...it just makes me happy :D

I see John took his sweatshirt off for the show. ;)
