Razzle dazzle rose

Razzle dazzle rose was the closing song, and it was truly magical. The kind that makes the hairs on your arm stand. Hearing it live was so amazing, you have no idea, the album one is totally incomparable. The other songs were pretty much like how they sound on the album, which is pretty good for a live gig. Anyway, the entire concert ended much too soon. An 80min performance, and when razzle dazzle rose ended, we weren't sure whether there was gonna be an encore or not. Evidently not the case, we made a mad dash to join the queue for the autographs. Lucky we were quick, still had to wait an entire hour before making it to the table!

Funny moment when the band took a break in the middle of the performance. There'd been an announcement saying that there wasn't an intermission, so when this old-eurasian-bar-singer-looking dude in leathers came on stage, we thought he was some middle act. He even took up one of the guitars and fiddled with it, so the crowd kept cheering madly for him. Only for him to put the guitar back down five minutes later and return backstage, whereby Camera Obscura came back out. He was the guitar tuner!

you know what the worst thing is? i only had to queue like 15 mins for the dcfc autograph session (we rushed out real quick)...only to have the bloody strict guards shoo me away coz i didnt have official merchandise for them to sign on.

And the thing is...i DO have official merchandise, i just didn't bring them to the concert!
