Here are pics from the show. The quality isnt brilliant, because they were taken from my girlfriends phone.

2 Pics of one of the support bands, Sound and Fury, who were better than Reuben in my opinion.




The best pic I got of Brown Tom:



Deryck with a limp wrist:

My Review:

Wow, what a show.

The light went down, everyone screamed, and TNT by AC/DC came on... Then on came that opera song that everbody knows but can never rember the name... And after out ran Sum 41, the flags of the fly and the factory that they have been using to promote the album with went up, and the cover fell down at the back revealing the Sum 41 underclass hero logo. Brilliant entrance. They burst into Underclass Hero, and immediatley there was a huge crush of people pushing forwards. I was about 3 people from the front directly infront of Cones mic. It was an unbeliveable gig. I was drenched in sweat, and exhausted by the 3rd song, but to my luck, I drank from a bottle Cone threw into the crowd and was snatching water off people when the security was handing it out. I almost caught Cones pick at one point, but someone put their hand in the way... and i did get a hold of derycks towel at the end of 'Thats Alright Mama', but so did 5 other people, and i realised it probably wasnt worth giving up my place for. There was a guy filming at this show, he was infront of the barrier, and was filming the band. Does anyone know what he was here for? I hope some of that footage makes a dvd or something, because he got a brilliant shot of me, when he leaned over the barrier and pointed the camera at me. I leaned back onto the people behind, spread my arms out, and shook my head with my tounge out a-la the AKNF cover. Deryck really knows how to work up a crowd. For example, getting everyone to show their 41 salutes, or making everyone yell 'Sacrifice' in We're All To Blame, or having one half sing 'aaahhh' and the other sing 'it makes no difference to me'... Towards the end of the gig, I was completly dead, and i was leaning on the guy infront. I did ask him when Sums went off the first time if he didnt mind. He said he didn't, which was great. There was also a girl next to me who asked me if I was ok, so if either of them read this, Thanks. I was going to wait around after for the band, but we were all pretty tired and had a long drive home.

Whilst it being a brilliant show, there was a few little things that bugged me. I couldnt hear Toms guitar, which sucked when it came to the In Too Deep solo, or when D was introducing everybody. Also, they didnt play all the songs I expected them to, Like Some Say, ANIC or Moron.

Otherwise, unbelivable.


The setlist: (slightly different to the London show, and probably in slightly different order cause i copied it from the London page, and cant rember the songs, all i can remeber that the ending was different)

1. Underclass Hero
2. The Hell Song
3. Motivation + 88 (Instrumental part)
4. We're All To Blame
5. Walking Disaster
6. Machine Gun
7. Thats Alright Mama
8. King Of Contradiction
9. In Too Deep
10. Over My Head (Better Off Dead)
11. Makes No Difference
12. Smoke On The Water (Intro)
13. Pieces
14. My Direction
15. Still Waiting
--Encore--
16. Still Waiting
17. Fat Lip
18. Pain For Pleasure

[Dylan]

should i just give up hope and accept the fact that they aren't gonna play no reason anymore?

[Vani]

Why can't you hear Tom's guitar? Is that because you're on the left side and the lead guitar's sound is on the right side? Just guessing, I dont really know the sound system for shows

[Dan]

Thats what I thought... but surely, they would have been loud enough for me to hear even if i was over the other side of the stage?

[Vani]

Yeah I think so..

[Dan]

I finally had a disposable camera developed.

Here are some more from the show... not brilliant, but worth a look.
