It was just stunning. It truly was. Somehow, the entire performance fit in perfectly with the enviroment. There was a beautiful sunset going down as they played, which really brought out their more ballady songs, particularly "Leave Out All The Rest", which is a song I never really liked before. They then ended with a 5-song encore, ending with an AMAZING "Bleed It Out", stretched out to roughly 3X its regular length.
Hell, no wonder they made it into a live album. Although the album doesn't even come close. You really had to be there.

Hands down the best I've ever experienced. The stage, the sound, the set list... the whole thing was just brilliant.

*is totally jealous* Seriously. Haha. ^_^;;
Mmm, let's see. I've been to quite a few concerts, mostly when I was in high school and college. But I'd have to say that the best shows I've been to are:
1) Smashing Pumpkins, probably back in '95. Just freaking AMAZING. Oh man. I saw them shortly after they released Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, and... I just can't describe the incredibleness of that show. It was magnificent.
2) Catherine Wheel, maybe in '96 or '97? Oh my god... FREAKING ORGASMIC. Seriously. Such an incredible (but underrated) band. Some of the things they do with guitars and effects are just fucking amazing.
3) Lollapalooza '94. I honestly can't remember that much from this concert for some reason, but I do remember seeing awesomeness like the Smashing Pumpkins, the Breeders, the Beastie Boys and much more. It was an incredible experience. (No, I was not on any drugs or anything, I was happily straight-edge, thank you. XD)
4) The Verve back in maybe... '97? The Verve are freaking incredible. And even more so live. Period.
Um, that's all I can think of for now. XD
But out of all those, I would have to say that Catherine Wheel was the most amazing out of all of them. ^_^
Thanks to .•°٭blinq٭°•. for the lovely sig. ♥

Quo Vadis, MusiquePlus interview, 2000.
It was indeed fun except I thought one of the guys was gonna shank me as we were the only two left in the pit and since I'm not a complete pussy and neither was he we didn't want to back down. But it all went cool and we went on to listen to our death metal.
Fuckers didn't even take the "So This Is Christmas" request though. That really would ahve made a memorable show. Especially since they have done it before.

Spoiler: See?
As far as the show itself, this was just a few months after Evolver came out, so as expected he sang most of the songs that were on Evolver. Funny thing about Mr. John Legend is, all of his songs sound better live. No joke, his voice just sounds that much more clear and polished when he sings live. You know Good Morning? You know the high note at the end of the bridge? When he hit that note, I felt like I could walk outside and get myself hit by a car and still Id be alright with how my life turned out.
The encore was of epic proportions, also. He started with his famous piano ballad Ordinary People, and followed it with the finale track from Evolver, If Youre Out There. Everyone in the crowd really got into the last two songs, which was good. Just being in a setting where everyone is singing along to the same thing is really moving and whatnot. Anyway yeah we stuck around, got to meet the guy. I addressed him as Mr. John Legend Sir, and told him I was his biggest fan. He chuckled. Lol.
Thats about it.

That statement made my brain stall like a computer processing an illogical arguement. Surreal.
I'm not a huge gig goer, I do enjoy alot of local gigs but they just melt into one in my memory. Will likely have to update this in august.

I saw Girugamesh at Sakura-Con, which was quite wonderful.
I just wish that I had actually liked the Dresden Dolls at the time that I saw them live :(

...the video of them doing Help I'm Alive used to be on YouTube and you could see my fist in it (and hear me singing along in parts) but apparently the user has taken it down. Screw you, user.
They'd also pre-signed all the posters, which is kinda adorable (would've preferred to have met them, mind. Not that I would've been able to say anything other than "oh god you're my favourite band can I take the drummer home with me?")
Best band I've ever seen, hands down (they don't have a huge amount of competition, admittedly, but still)
