They started out playing Snail Shell, and my brain immidiately exploded. It was FANTASTIC!

At the show I went to They played Instanbul first and I had the same reaction of pure elation!!!!! It was the best feel I had in awhile. tmbgtalk/-grnbiggrin.gif

RandomCasey- 08-26-2006
Yes! It's the best feeling ever! tmbgtalk/Twilight_anim.gif

how could you focus? you were seeing TMBG! tmbgtalk/w00t2.gif


they played Dr Worm first at my very first show. (STD tour) but the one that really blew my mind was Till My Head Falls Off. i remember thinking... "i can't believe i'm standing here watching TMBG play Till My Head Falls Off!!!!!" tmbgtalk/-laugh.gif

my nephew tried to pass em a note to play Don't Let's Start for me, but i don't think they ever got it. tmbgtalk/-lol2.gif

ahhh, fuzzy memories. tmbgtalk/+daz.gif

oh & let me warn ya... if you start to feel kinda bummed in a couple of weeks, worrying that you'll never get to see em again, cheer up! you will. tmbgtalk/Twilight_anim.gif that's what happened to me. i was on a cloud for like 2 weeks after, then i was hideously depressed for like a month. tmbgtalk/-laugh.gif

pooch2nooch- 08-26-2006
well me and my friends were all jonesin' for Puppet Head, screaming it after every song. They never got to play it though. tmbgtalk/-frown.gif Oh well, we thought that since they were handing out those "TMBG #1" handy thingys we'd thought it classic that we'd clap those giant foam hands, you know, like in the video, except they weren't red. tmbgtalk/-ohwell.gif


I really NEEEEEED to see them again in Concert!!!

biff- 08-26-2006
me too!!!!! tmbgtalk/Swearin.gif

i almost got to this spring. it was a Saturday night show & everything. it was all the way in St Louis though, which is like 6 hours away, & the very next weekend was Noah's graduation. we probably still woulda went, but we also had to move all his crap, & we were all so spread out. the kids woulda had to come up first, & bla bla bla. it was just too much. tmbgtalk/dunno.gif

That was a nice little write-up, Casey. tmbgtalk/-th-u.gif I wish I could've been there!

The only time I've ever seen them in concert was when they played Omaha during the Spine on the Highway tour two years ago -- excellent show! The whole time, I was really rooting for them to play "Fingertips," and they saved it for last. tmbgtalk/-2smilespin.gif

Thanks, grchereck!

I felt that way on the drive home from Chicago. They hardley every come around these parts, so, there aren't that many chances. But then, I think about how long they'll be touring, and I know it'll be a long time. : ) So then I'm okay. And, I'm nearly 16, so that broadens my chances a lot.

*sigh* I love having a concert dancing through my head.

biff- 08-27-2006
yeah, it's a wonderful feeling. tmbgtalk/+SMcolor_.gif

Congrats, Casey! Glad you enjoyed the show. I don't remember what the first song they played when I saw them in concert was ... but they opened up with the Countdown, so that was cool.

And yes, biff - you and I are like twins. Except for a few years between births.

DuPage County Represent!!!
