OK... We ate first before we left the apartment at 6ish and on our way to Wiltern, we listened to the setlist from their previous shows on my ipod. When we passed the venue at Western and Wilshire (peeps from LA will understand what Im talkin about coz if you ask where it is, we give them the cross street) and saw the long line building up.. I cant help but scream Incubus!!! I cant believe Im gonna see them live! I kept hugging Darwin and telling him how excited I am. We got in line at 7ish and while we're on it, there are guys waving at us from Wiltern. I thought it's Mike (lead guitarist) coz of his curly hair.. but it's from the band Albert Jr. who's gonna do the front act. We also noticed the equipment of the band so I took a "steal" shot of it from my cellphone. I actually followed Aileen's suggestion when I read her blog back on March 2004 when she watched Incubus. I had my digital camera wrapped on a paper tissue that's why I cant use my digicam until we pass the security check.
The door opened at 8ish and they're not actually that strict on cameras. =P We stayed at the 3rd level of the pit. We have a good view of the stage. The 4 girls right beside us, who I think are 16 year olds.. are hard core fans. They have VIP passes that were auctioned on eBay and they have a 30 minute pre-show meet and greet. There's only 25 VIP passes per show but damn, look how expensive it is =P
VIP Pass auction
The Albert Mammond Jr band played for an hour then sound check for 30mins or so.. then Chris (DJ) came in first, then Jose (drummer), Ben (bass), Mike then Brandon!!! And all you see is their shadow. It's so exciting and I screamed really loud til they played Quicksand. The best performance for me is Sick Sad Little World were Brandon has this gloves with light on it and he focuses it on Jose, Ben and Mike while they are doing their thing. Darwin is really mad at the DJ because he's not doing anything. heheh
I had goosebumps when they played Dig coz Darwin and I really like that song and everyone sings with them. The crowd is loving it. After Dig, I know they'll come back for the encore and it's good that they chose Megalomaniac as the last song.
We had a blast.. Im actually still on a bliss! We bought Incubus shirt outside for $10 each coz the one they're selling at the bar is $35 which is too much. We also ate 'dirty' hotdog outside which is REALLLY good. We listened to Incubus again on our way home.
I got addicted to Brandon Boyd so I wiki'd him and found out that his birthday is one week before Darwin's bday =). He also published a book and he did some of Incubus artworks and he's a surfer!!! He'll be on the Jimmy Kimmel show on his birthday and I already Tivo'd it.
Drive video (from my cam)
Dig video (from hungryartiste).. everyone is singing and lovin this song.
A Kiss to Send Us Off (from yahoo) - one of my fave songs from their new album Light Grenades
The setlist last night.. "Look Alive" was not played though
The Equipment (taken from my cellphone)
Really CLOSE shot of BRANDON and Darwin was like... "tama na yan!" hehe
I used the "normal" picture mode on ALL my shots. I just recently discovered it while Im playing with my Fuji Finepix Z1 =P
Thank you! It's the best (advance) Vday present.. mwaah!
