Powerstation
Auckland, NZ
The Goo's concert was 2 days ago and i'm still FULLY hyper about it! It
was AMAZING! They played in this really kewl venue called the
powerstation which only holds about 1000 ppl so it was completely packed
out! They opened with Dizzy which made me completely go mental because
its one of my faaaaavourite songs but i couldn't see much cos i was 5m
back from the stage and there were all these tall ppl in front of me! I
actually managed to crowdsurf (!-a new experience for me :) to the front
during Lazy Eye and the mosh pit was AWESOME! but when the security
guard was about to make go all the way back round i managed to make him
let me stay right UP FRONT in the opening of the barrier!! :) So i had
the BEST view!! :) About 6 songs into the set, john decided to
'introduce' the band..which turned in to a kinda fashion show with Mike
standing up on his chair and swinging off the disco ball hanging off the
roof and Robby being described as 'the casual yet primitive one'
heheheh I was actually surprised that there were so many 'real' fans
there who knew all the words and were fully getting into it instead of
just being there for Iris! :) They played for nearly 2 hours and most of
the songs were off Dizzy and ABNG ( but they didn't play amigone!!) AND
during January Friend, i was looking @ John and jumping round and
singing and he fully smiled me and gave me a huge wave and after the
song he THREW me his PICK!!! :):) hehehe ( it hangs on a chain round my
neck now!) hehehe I really went nuts after that :) They played Iris last
( which sounded amazingly beautiful :) and came back on a few minutes
later for an encore and at the end of it, John pulled this 12 year old
boy outta the crowd and GAVE HIM HIS
GUITAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
