Victoria, BC review
By Stephanie, Thanks to
only avril
Hey! My name is Steph, and I just go back from Avril's first show on The Best Damn Tour in Victoria. Thought I'd give you some info. She was INCREDIBLE, by the way.
She opened with Girlfriend,
then I Can Do Better.
-Everything else is out of order.-
She brought out a pink Piano, but they were having some technical difficulty with the sound of it so she had to do When You're Gone acousticly.
She went on to play Innocence on acoustic guitar,
and shorted acoustic versions of My Happy Ending and Hot.
During I'm With You, which she dedicated to the fans that have been with her sice Day One, The audience in the front row on the floor were filmed and shown on the huge screen behind her which was pretty cool.
She played I Always Get What I Want, which was incredibly fun.
Losing Grip, Complicated, Runaway, I Don't Have To Try, Everything Back But You, The Best Damn Thing, He Wasn't
and she played one of the songs above, I can't quite remeember which one and Hey Mickey on the drums, which were sparkly and pink.
A video played of random Avril Clips, and a studio version of her cover of Bad Reputation by Joan Jett played over the speakers. I have a video of most of it that below.
For the encore,
The Lil' Mama Girlfriend Remix started playing, and Avril actually RAPPED the second rap verse, which was pretty much mindblowing. And she closed the show with Sk8erboi.
I'm almost postive that I listed every song she played, but maybe I missed something. It's pretty close though.
She had A LOT of costume changes, especially near the beginning. All her outfits were mostly black and sparkly. The dancers were really crazy and fun, it was just a really fun thing to watch and be a part of. It was an AWESOME show.
They had a lot of avril merch, including posters, shirts, stickers & pins, flags, wrist bands, really cute underwear, hoodies, those manga books, glow sticks, lanyards, tour book, etc.
All I know is:
Hoodies = $60
Shirts = $20
Posters = $10
I'm pretty sure the undies were between $20-25
And I think the lanyards/glow sticks were $15 each.
about Boys like Girls: They were INCREDIBLE. If you like them, you'll love their set. If you don't, it was really a short set so it'll be over before you know it.
I uploaded the Bad Rep video. I'll try to put it on youtube later, but here it is anyways. like I said, it's MOST of it but it didn't occur to me to record it until about the second verse
I took a few pictures, which turned out pretty good considering my camera sucks. I was at the barrier to the left of the stage, so they're pretty close. I uploaded them for you here
