Favorite moments this tour

awwww i got the munchies

I only went to Dublin but have enough great moments from there:

- The crowd singing on Wanted and Livin' On A Prayer. Best audience experience I've ever had.
- Blood On Blood!
- I sensed / hoped Dry County was coming when I noticed a roadie taping sheets of paper to the stage at a certain point. (As a visitor to this site I was aware that this had happened in Germany a few nights before.) Actually hearing the song was indescribably wonderful though - Richie nailed the solo.
- Richie's vocals on IBTFY. The song really suits his voice.
- Jon so in awe of Richie's shredding skills that, just for a moment, he seemed to forget where he was and indulged in some Bill and Ted-esque air guitar.
- Generally, getting value for money, with a fabulous 2 and a half hour show.

- meeting Lee in dublin was a very good show before and during, was quite funny watching him walk in to a pub and Carli saying "oh i think thats him" just as hes walked round the whole pub! and if anyone does meet him Lee = NUTS!!!!!!

- the whole munich experience, strolling through amsterdam airport for a connecting flight and Carli panicking cos she thought we'd miss it, was quite funny.... Sitting with a bunch of pissheads at the stadium during the evening, everyone else sleeping Carli, Florin and Chris wide awake pissed noisey!!!!!

- after munich the burger from mcds was so hungry.... also going back to Chris's hostel lol and meeting some weird german dude who was quite strange to say the least.

- the train ride up to glasgow, lets open the bar as soon as we get on the train, beer vodka and some shot stuff nice breakfast on the way up!

- meeting Jim and his clan, good god they're mad!!!! Had fun though

- laughing at peoples VERY white legs whilst talking to Kev at Hampden Park in the que!

- Having a few beers during the glasgow show and spilling it on the woman in front who was not best pleased but me and Carli found it quite funny! Oh and the walk back to the town centre took forever but found £20 while waiting in the take away

- before Southampton, Carli and Kev came down to Portsmouth and we went out for the day which was pretty cool

- Southampton it was a better show than i'd expected so i'll say the whole day/show in general

- i liked the sauage butty at hull and also the queing was quite fun, plus getting drenched when it started to rain before BJ came on! Was a good day until the show started

- I'd Die For You at nearly every show as i hadnt heard this before

- Bells Of Freedom class song lets hope it doesnt get lost!

Turned him down at first? Did he give her a second opportunity or did she come to her senses? lol

coventry - getting one of Richie's plectrums. i'd been eyeing him up all night trying to get him to lob me one.

SICK FROM ZOLOFT

Living in Sin in Milton Keynes!

Highlight of this tour for me had to be milton keynes night 2. as it was my first show!! still remember standing their wen the giant smiley face came up on the screen my heart was beating unbelievably fast!! urmmmmm....
singing along to bad name (my fav song)
seeing and hearing thousends of people scream and cheer wen the intro to prayer was played (wow it was amazing!!)
singing along with my brothers and the rest of milton keynes bowel to wanted dead or alive lol
and the best performance of the night had to be these days, jon put everything he had left into singing it for us.
oh and 1 more thing..... wen the band left the stage and they wud only cum back if we all cheered and wen they returned they launched straight into bad medicine!!

The girl I love beside me at the show - and this time around, this girl loves me as well.

singin wanted with richie and jon in my back yard

...Seeing Van and Ellie on stage after wondering if they would even make the show due to bad bad traffic.
...My cool box from lidl...that kept all the late night drinks cool.
