SWITCHFOOT! Part 2

heh. ok so after love me butch was Altered Frequency.


man they were so good too. like really. i love their music. esp cuz they songs are actually Christian based and they get to sing it out loud to everyone. tot that was cool la. plus they are really really good la. i liked their song Beyond Now. i do believe its from their new album. cept its not out yet la. ish. when it comes out i'm so gonna buy it. oh and also near the end of their performance, the drummer was playing til one of his sticks flew off . so he ended up playing with one stick. and he made it look so natural. haha. Agnel u r seriously damn cool man. =D



so that was the 8th good thing. rocking openings in my opinion. i tot it was a really great way to open a concert with those two bands la.

and then after waiting some time more, then all we've been waiting for came: SWITCHFOOT!


it was sooo cool la. the started off with the Meant To Live intro and jus when the crowd started singing the verse, they stopped. and Jon Foreman said smth i cudnt catch and then the drums started Oh! Gravity and they went into the whole song. such a cool way to start la. cekapness. they even did that crazy piano part. haha.

the whole concert i would say was filled with great startings to all their songs. like cekap la. they even did Beyonce's crazy in love which transitioned into Gone and back and into some other song i cant remember. it was soo cool.


and Jon Foreman also looked like he was having the time of his life la playing up there. he got onto the drums at one part and jus jumped off and landed then fell to the floor. he also got up on the amp and jumped off too. he grabbed the cymbals from the drums and went around crashing it during one song. he was even walking on the edge of the stage while singing "I'm standing on the edge" from On Fire. he even played with his teeth ok. haha!


he also took one of the media crews camera and got everyone in the crowd to take a synchronised flash. he sorta went up to the crowd twice and jus stood there to sing and sorta lepak with the crowd i guess. haha. and the 2nd time he came down he even asked for one guy's camera and took a picture with it. sooo coooolll. lucky guy la the guy who owns the camera.


but seriously la. the band looked like they were really having fun playing all their songs and all. not jus putting on a show. oh yeah! they even froze for like a minute plus during their American Dream song. its that video which i posted up a few days ago la. soo cool right?

plus the music wasn't too loud or annoying or anything. it was just perfect and nice. plus they sound so freakingly amazingly awesome live. they sound so good.


and Jon Foreman sings and plays! and i dun mean simple simple chords all. i'm talking abt those soloish parts. darn pro wei. ok la i wud notice cuz i was looking at what all of them were playing most of the time. haha. guess its like natural musician instinct kot? haha.

plus!!! his Jon Foreman's guitar is like the cooollest guitar i've seen ever la. the design on it was like damn cekapness la. it was like on the Oh! Gravity album cover. sooo awesome.


so the concert, wait no. cancel that.

so the AWESOME concert went on for abt one and a half hours or more. or definitely more than that. they did Dare You To Move as an encore jus before they left the stage for the last time. i was basically watchinng his fingers and watching what he was playing again la, but it was still really good la. haha. then it was finally over.



the most awesomest best concert i've been to. 9th good thing.


so yea. was kinda hanging around after the concert taking photos and meeting ppl and all that. bought a cd but sold it cuz i din want it in the end. haha. there was a meet and greet session after the concert la. but unfortunately i cudn't stay for that cuz i had to rush for the lrt and ktm. oh well, the line was very long anyway. haha. so basically i left the convention centre at abt 10.45 to run to catch an lrt train. and when i say run i mean run. i seriously ran all the way like cops were trying to catch me all the way from the convention centre to inside klcc to inside the lrt. when i got off the lrt at Sentral also i ran. and i wasn't the only one. another guy in front of me was also running like crazy. haha.

so i ran and when i reach the ktm it jus arrived. my lucky day huh. haha. and when i got inside, the guy announced that this was the last train leaving. that was even luckier. i mean it makes all the running worth it. i can actually go home! yay! haha. so ya, catching the last train home is definitely good thing number 10. =P

then when i was in the train i noticed smth else. my shoes were clean! ok la not super clean but jus as clean as when i came. haha! i mean seriously. everyone in the concert was jumping around with their hands and everything across everybody else (like really ppl jus put hands on each other for support and all that. even i did cuz there was so much pushing and all that.). but even with all that my shoes were fine! (note to ppl who dunno: Ben loves his shoes very much and loves keeping them clean) so yea. thats definitely good thing number 11.

great day la. so many good things happened. 11 good things to b exact. i may have even missed out some parts. but seriously one of the most awesome days of my super short life. darn cool. i wudn't haf missed it for the world. everything was great that day. heck i din even eat dinner and i din feel. must b Eunice's doughnuts. THANKS EUNICE! esp for the doughnuts. i love doughnuts!! =P haha.

2nd February 2008 is definitely one day i'm gonna cherish for like forever. awesome. =)

jus awesome. *biggrin*
