[Vintage Disposition]

Concert: Brussels
Reviewer: nickynike
Date: October 1st 2004



My friend Becky and i arrived at 9:30 am! a long day ahead haha. the entrance to Foret National is complicated; there are 5 doors, and 6 barriers, where fans line up. We decided to line up in the middle one (biiiiig mistake). so we waited and waited. and then this other cool girl came, called Marie, and i made friends with her, and we went up to the buses, and there was no guard or anything, and we met Devin and Charlie and took a picture.. and we waited and waited and then we met Gary from Bowling For Soup, who was really nice and asked us how we were and our names and stuff.. awesome guy. and so then we went back down to the waiting area, because Avril's bus drove her down into the concert hall.. and so yeah... time went on, we listened to music and stuff.. and then, on the SEVENTH HOUR that we were there, (when loads of people were starting to line up) they told us that the middle row was closed =|. so we had to move, and we were sort of behind now. and then there was this competition winners thing, and they got to go to a showcase, where Avril played Forgotten, Together, and Slipped Away, (band version) and got to meet her and get autographs. and then they let us in the hall. and Bowling For Soup came on. and they ROCKED. and they finished and Gary gave me his drumstick :d. and then people kept passing out, JUST before avril was supposed to start; so the show started like half an hour late.

THE SHOW:
yeah, so Avril started with He Wasn't and followed with the usual playlist:
he wasn't (avril on electric)
my happy ending (avril on electric)
take me away (without avril on guitar)
Freak out
sk8er boi
anything but ordinary
who knows (avril on accoustic guitar)

Mobile
naked
losing grip
together (avril on piano)
forgotten (avril on piano)
tomorrow (avril solo accoustic)
fall to pieces (avril accoustic with Devin)
Nobody's Home (fashion rocks version)
Don't Tell Me (avril on electric)
Unwanted
Complicated (with new intro thing)
Slipped Away (solo on piano)

yeah.. SO. i was in the front row and i made a BANDAIDS sign, because it's cool (:s) and she saw it and SHE WINKED AT ME . and she kept looking at it and stuff (she's aware of our existance now.) and the OTHER side of my sign said 'BRING ME ON STAGE' and i think she said that she wasn't allowed, im not sure or something. and yeah, she smiled and stuff all the time.. ooh yeah, and Matt (brother, not drummer) was RIGHT in front of me and stuff, and he was telling on people who had cameras and stuff. and on Slipped Away, after the first chorus, she messed it up and she started laughing... cute stuff.. and yeah! it was AMAZING, REALLY AMAZING! if you're going, you're in for a reeeal treat it rocked ass.
