Um - Stacy - Dave was sans guitar for Dogman, too. Just so you know, it was incredible!!! Better than I thought it was going to be, and I thought it was going to be amazing!! Request RnR AND Dogman, just to be safe. LOL

[CookifiedTexan 0]

That's what I planned on doing

[realiTVlover 0]

Oh, I WILL get R&R. Somehow, whatever it takes, I WILL.
Perhaps some divine source will intervene on my behalf.

I am BEYOND FUCKING EXCITED for this show! I get excited for every show, except when I'm too stressed out about travel woes to properly psych up lol, but for some reason, this one, this one I am über excited about!

Can't wait to see you soon, Jamie, Keren, Mal, and everyone else who is going I hope to somehow meet up with!

Maureen Van Zandt's picture - appropriately titled "The Boys"

[LIwordnerd 0]

Oh my god. OH MY GOD. I can't even. I'm sobbing right now. Best show ever. EVER.

Dead right now. DEAD.

[pn112 0]

I hope someone survives this show!!! Those of us not there are having a hard time processing what we just heard/saw - I can't imagine what it would be like to be there!! So happy for all who attended!!

[BUFFALUVDAVEYSDANCER 0]

Wow! I can just imagaine those of you that were there what you are feeling . I knew the show would be amazing .

[Guest Guest]

Mal tweeted to me so we know she survived.

Stacy sent me a text that said...

"I am never going to another concert again. Nothing could ever top tonight. I can't even breathe."

So it seems she survived too lol.

[Guest Guest]

Good to know at least some survived. I swear I Will be at the next NYC show, even if I have to walk there! So happy for all who got to experience that live. I'm not sure how I survived the stream. Can't imagine being there live.

Tracy tweeted that John SoCal videoed the entire show. Can't wait to watch them.

[Guest Guest]

Johns video-with Ryan and Stevie- Eight days a week!

[vsteph1 0]

I am beyond words right now for this amazing show tonight. And I wasn't even there. I can't imagine what it was like to be in that room. When the crowd sang FIM to him and he just let them do it, I cried. God Bless John for filming this show. His video's always rock and I can't wait to see them.

Can't wait for recaps.

You're sure it's Stacy, correct? She was with Jamie [CookifiedTexan] since Allentown, and she tweeted using Stacy's twitter.

[LIwordnerd 0]

It was definitely Stacy because I heard her say those very words after the show, lol.

This was said shortly after I finished sobbing into her shoulder after REM. Yeah. I'm never getting over this show...

[chealion313 0]

I never use the words 'omg, this was an epic show', but I certainly used them tonight. WOW. Just wow.

[LIwordnerd 0]

Okay, I just got home and have recovered just enough to type a bit. Sweet Jesus.

I just need to start by saying that my last show was November 18, 2008. Yeah. It's been over 3 years since I last saw the band live, missing an entire tour completely. I was so freakin' psyched for this show.

VIP: in a word, amazing. Andrew did such an awesome job that I high-fived him after the show and he even remembered me as the girl who requested that he sing U2 while taking my pic with the band. (He went with "IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PICTUREEEEE.") I wished Dave a happy early birthday. I told him how I've been having a really shitty year but 2 things have made it less shitty: first and foremost, my nephew being born, and second, This Loud Morning. And he looked so appreciative of that comment and that was really all I've been wanting to tell him since June 28th. I gave him two hugs. My favorite hugger was Andy. He is short. So is Monty. I legit had no idea. Wow they are fun-sized.

Show: I really have no words. I love how much he loves NYC and feeds so much off the crowd. I love how I'm half deaf, not just from standing next to blaring speakers, but from the crowd screeching for 90 minutes straight. I love how my throat is on fire right now from singing and screaming at the top of my lungs. I love how he threw everything he had in him into performing tonight. I love how he reached out into the crowd towards the end of REM and how just touching him released all of the pent-up emotions in me tonight. I hugged Stacy right after and just started crying and couldn't stop until after the music stopped. I didn't even see the band leave the stage. I love how he came out in his pants with the laces up the sides and looking so gorgeous that my jaw dropped. And I love how as soon as he opened his mouth to start singing, I no longer registered what he was even wearing because GOD, that voice and those lyrics make me practically forget my own name.

Let's just say, walking out of Irving Plaza and back into Regular World was akin to a culture shock and I went from feeling high on life to depressed beyond belief. This show RUINED me. Completely annihilated me. And I'd do this day all over 10 times over just to have it again.

No, seriously... what the eff is it about this man?

[cooksgal 0]

What an epic way to end this tour "run". One of the goals in my life is to go to a DCTA show on NYC. Or at least a NE area. The vibe, crowd, energy is AMAZING.

And can I say, ONCE AGAIN, I'm jealous of a guy, and it had to be our own RYAN STAR. THAT'S HOW YOU GRAB AN ASS!!!!

[cooksgal 0]

Loved your recap, Lori!

[MalLuvsDC150 0]

OH. MY. GOD.


Basically, best show ever... I'll post a longer recap tomorrow, but here are my pictures. I left the memory card for my good camera at home, so I had to use my little one, but still got some good shots

The pics are amazing! Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to see all of the videos!

DEBRA

[CookifiedTexan 0]

I'm still in awe. I'm alive, but barely. But Stacy and I agreed- nothing will ever top tonight. Of all the shows I've been to over the last 3 years, THIS will forever be the ultimate show in my memory. Just....wow. All of the travel bullshit I experienced, all of the problems and the angst and the worry that this trip caused...I would do it all again for a show like tonight.

I'll write an official recap in a bit, after I've collected all my thoughts. Uploading tons of pictures and multiple videos right now. I have a few shots that I have to post ASAP, and then I'll gradually drop some off throughout the day tomorrow.

Thank you, NYC, for being so fucking awesome, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I will be back some day.

[realiTVlover 0]

I'm home. I'm alive. I think. I think I died and went to heaven. But once I got on the subway I was clearly not there any more lol!

I am trying to compose a recap right now.

Lori, your recap was awesome. I was SO glad to share that concert with you right next to me and with the other girls there in our little corner by Andy. And loved seeing you again, Mal, sorry if I hugged you a gazillion times, lol. And Carol your "recap" was very you, lol, and knowing you, it may have been short but it means a LOT.

Okay, back later. If I can find words. I seriously question whether I can do so.

[CookifiedTexan 0]

So.....this picture pretty much sums up the epicness of tonight. I'm holding his right hand at this point- it's just out of view. But I was holding on for dear life to it
