Anyway, watch for a guest blogger the next couple of days because life is taking me away from the computer mostly for a couple days.

But, enjoy this first video from San Francisco!!!

Recap from Miss Mary at the forum!

Also as per the usual, the concert started at about 10 after nine, a bit late.

At that moment, I couldn’t even tell you how I felt. That opening riff of Break Away and the curtain going up and just seeing Tom right in front of me was overwhelming. I am pretty sure I stopped breathing for a few seconds after I realized that it wasn’t all some sick fantasy and I was really seeing them with my own eyes. I’ve been dreaming of it for a long time, what can I say?

To be honest, the entire show is a bit of a blur for me. A whirlwind of me screaming “OMG” louder than I have ever screamed in my life. Only a few bits really stand out to me right now, though I’m sure once I’ve had time to digest this all, I will be able to remember more detail.

After Break Away was over and Bill stripped off the black leather jacket he was wearing (also wearing Diesel jeans, black studded collar, MJ black glove and a black graphic tee that I didn’t recognize) we moved onto Final Day.

I do have to mention that I never really believed people when they come back from the shows and say that Bill is as gorgeous as expected, Tom really takes the cake in person. I have to strongly agree with this now. I was watching him during BA, but of course, I had to check Bill out. I swear, I was wishing for a second pair of eyes and a third hand to hold a camera to capture it all. But then during Final Day, when the twins and Geo start jumping it was all I could do to keep moving and not just stand there and stare at Tom.

He’s breathtaking.

The smirks, the smiles, the dreads flying everywhere, the stomping around and the rocking the f*** out just had me wanting to melt into a puddle at his feet. I spent most of the concert staring at him after that. (He was wearing black tees, black hat and jeans, but I couldn’t see the jeans properly)

Stage banter then, though I never actually heard much of what Bill said, simply because the screaming was drowning his talking out. Come to think of it, even during the songs sometimes the screaming was drowning him out. I was a little disappointed in that; I come to hear him sing, not to hear others screaming off tune into my ear. Of course, then came 1000 Oceans, and I called M during that one, so she can (hopefully) attest to it being a great addition to the setlist.

Okay, this is getting uber long, so I’ll continue this in another post.
