Jonas Brothers: Complete Burning Up Tour

So I was looking through my computer to see what exactly I had saved, and as I was going through my videos and pictures, I realized I have the complete Jonas Brothers Burning Up tour on my computer. I went with the Lauren (the other half of our little site of fliesonthewall) to three of the Burning Up Tour Concerts, and between the two of us, we have all of the songs performed, and over 700 photos. Now, I’m not sure how wordpress would like our site having all 700 photos and 2 hours of video on here, so we narrowed it down to the videos with the most of the songs on them, and the best of the photos. If you look into previous entrees, there is more in depth Jonas Brothers: Burning Up Tour coverage, but for the concert at large we have it posted below! So enjoy and please leave feedback on what else you would like to see, if we missed anything-or what you enjoyed. With no more small talk, enjoy the Burning Up Tour-without the Ticketmaster fees, below!

SOS, Hello Beautiful & Burning Up were all recorded but only 3/4ths of the performances were taped, if you would like them, check out our youtube at www.youtube.com/shakeyvision, and A Little Bit Longer will be posted soon as well, but the performance lasted 14 minutes and therefore takes a little while to upload, but as soon as it is good to go it will be posted! Pictures will follow in the next post, as I didn’t realize how long this post would be. I hope you enjoy and excuse our self titled, shakeyvision. Next month, Lauren and I will be FRONT ROW CENTER to the Jonas Brothers Performance at the San Diego Sports Arena and I promise better, less shakey concert coverage then!

Justin Nozuka Plays The Roxy

Wendsday evening, Maddie and myself headed up to The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood to see Justin Nozuka in concert. For being an up-and-comer, he certainly did come off as one, providing a sold out concert for a wide range of different indivuduals and singing his well known songs that pleased the entire crowd. Given that he began his set at a very late 10:30 pm, the audience still sang along throughout the entire set and made for a very welcoming happy show.

The Roxy has always been known for providing a small, intimate show-and this concert was no different. Peforming well after 11:30pm, his one hour set was very personal with the audience singing along together to each song. Justin performed songs such as Be Back Soon, After Tonight, I’m at Peace, Supposed to Grow Old, and more. While the set list was very well put together, Justin wasn’t so much. I’m a huge fan but would have enjoyed the concert more (and I spoke with others who agreed as well) that he often seemed distant, not talking directly to the audience-when barely speaking at all in between songs, not making eye-contact with any one in the audience, and just flat out singing like the c.d. on play while staring blankly into a back wall. He himself didn’t provide much energy and I miss the old days of his perfomances when there was a great deal more of passion in his words as he would sing. Although, after fitting my 2 cents in there, it was a very enjoyble night, and I would love to see him anytime.

I realize a lot of pictures look almost identical, as if they were taken one after another. However, this is what I wrote addressing about, with Jusin just singing staring at a back wall. These were taken during different songs over his hour set, with little movement or change.

There was one song performance that stood out of Justin singing, Be Back Soon. Here is the video for you to watch for yourself.

 

If you like what you watched, and would like to watch/hear more, check out Justin’s myspace: Myspace.com/JustinNozuka, or buy his c.d. Holly on itunes! It is worth the listen, and filled with great songs all unique, though if to be compared fits as a lovechild of Will Hoge and John Mayer.

Disney On Ice:Celebrating 100 Years of Magic

Last night I went to San Diego for Disney On Ice: Celebrating 100 years of Magic. Hosted at The Sports Arena the performance featured sumerizations of Disney Classics such as: Toy Story, The Incredibles, Aladdin, Finding Nemo, Lion King, Disney Princesses & Princes, Pinocchio, Mulan, and the attraction/World’s Fair presentation:It’s a Small World.

We were fortunate enough to have 6th row to the show, although all seats that we visited during intermission proved to be good viewing seats. The stage was simple yet catered and changed slightly through each set.

The basic backdrop was Cinderella’s Castle, most famously noted as the castle featured at Disneyland and the logo for Disney that they play before all of their movies.

I would love to write about every detail the crew of Disney on Ice: Celebrating 100 years of Magic put into their show, however since the show is still touring I’ll save some of the spoilers but the pictures talk for themselves.

The show began with Disney’s classic characters: Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Chip & Dale all providing some opening humor and throughout the show (also welcomed by Stitch) introduced the following performaces.

Aladdin was the first portion of the show with very little naration of what the movies were about, but put on a wonderful ice adaptation to the song “You Ain’t Never Had A Friend Like Me”. Complete with Aladdin, Abu, and multiple Genies, their 3 minutes was very well performed with impressive backflips and other stunts I can only image what they would be called.

Their performance was concluded with Stitch making one of his many appearances (that I wasn’t very fond of) and smoothly led into Finding Nemo.

Finding Nemo was cute, but ended up looking more like a chase scene than a complete performance. Finding Nemo along with The Incredibles that also had a portion of the show, both seemed slightly out of place for the rest of the portions all had a song with the major characters and these two just had a minute to play out a scene from their respective movies. Their sections were good, yes, although I’m not positive how well it fell into this particular Ice Show.

Beauty and the Beast was a beautiful performance, expecially when the Beast becomes man again. The lifts and elaborate lengths the crew placed together for everything to come together was absolutely flawless as performed to the theme song.

Beauty and The Beast flowed into a montage of all the Disney Princess stories with a clip of each’s movie’s most notable song.

After, Toy Story followed alongside It’s A Small World before taking a 10 minute intermission.

After the innermission was tidbits from Lion King which was amazing and the crowd favorite, an interesting push in by The Incredibles, Pinocchio, Mulan (which I also greatly enjoyed) and the final piece where all of the performers take stage for a final bow.

Overall, Disney on Ice was a wonderful show that I and my guest fully enjoyed. I can’t say that I would want to see this specific show again, but I look forward to seeing the other Disney Ice shows that they offer in the future. There are videos of the highlights of the show on my youtube: shakeyvision- if you would like to take a look at those and I encourage all Disney fans to take a trip to the local arena when Disney Ice comes into town, it’s worth the $16-$52 for the Disney experience outside of the Parks.

Jojo Jam 2008

   On Thursday Lauren, Maddie, Ashton and myself headed up to Universal City Walk in Los Angeles to attend the free Jojo Jam 2008 concert. Featuring One Block Radius, Prima J, and Metro Station, although having a decent main act, the concert seemed like just that:free, and not worth a dollar, or a few mintues of your time.

When we arrived Mason, Ant, and some of the 1 Block Radius band members were hanging out on top of the Hard Rock Cafe. Mason was enjoying a little smoke break but was easily distracted by fans screaming his name.

Lauren (always the fan) screamed to him and he looked over, pointed, and waved. I would have settled for that as an amazing evening, however later on when we were level on the balcany of the food court he made his way over with a friend and held down a staring contest with the four of us…well three of us. I personally find Mason very attractive and so i found myself staring at Lauren and Maddie dancing and staring back at him, then actually taking part in it myself. I’ll get over the nerves eventually, trust me.

Mason was at the first X and we were located at the second X. It doesn’t seem even from the viewpoint in this picture, but there was a second balcony directly facing the food court and it was amazing Romeo & Juliet love.

With the personal time out of the way, let’s talk about the concert…

Prima J opened the concert performing the same three songs as always. Tame, Rockstar, Corozon was the lineup-the same exact lineup that they performed at Wango Tango a few months prior except this time with less effort.

While I fully enjoy some of their songs, their performance unfortunatly made it hard to take them serious as professional artists. All three songs were almost completely lipsynced outside of the rare “ahhh” in Tame. In certain parts of the performance they didn’t even attempt to look like they were singing, just smiling without holding up the mic while their voices played loudly in the background.

Both girls have serious potential, I just wish they would try to put on the best performance, otherwise they don’t look like they care that much, and soon the people won’t care that much either.

One Block Radius performed second, although we didn’t notice they performed at all. Their pictures were all taken by KIISFM because as soon as we left our seats, took the elevator down to the stage floor and found a decent side spot, they were already through with their set. I’m not sure if that means they performed less than 3 songs and that is why we missed them, or they performed more but just worn’t good enough to draw our attention. I can’t make any judgements until I listen to their music personally, but I’m not positive how successful they will become with the lack of drawing in the crowds like they currently have. Hopefully they’ll be wiser than Prima J!

The final performance was from crowd’s favorite Metro Station. The gentlemen have been recieving a lot of great recognition lately due to their recent hit, “Shake it” along with “Seventeen Forever” gaining airplay after being featured in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 trailer. I personally really enjoy Metro’s debut album and having seen them live just a few weeks prior, knew what they were capable of performing live.

I’m not sure what happened to Ant’s drum equipment, but for whatever reason it didn’t find its way on stage.  Therefore, their performance was very unique with Prima J style background instruments that worn’t there being played, and constantly not singing along to the words when their microphones were acting up. We had driven over an hour (one way) to see them perform, and a toll road violation, parking fees, gas prices, and work complications later, they only performed three songs. “Shake it”, “Seventeen Forever”, and “Control” were the songs of choice and although I like those songs, the crowd kept asking for them to sing “Kelsey” to which they never did. In less than 10 minutes the main act had been on and off stage, leaving many fans wondering if that was the end of the concert or not with no formal goodbyes or thank you’s. A simple, “Sorry about those F****** A**H****” was all Trace left the crowd with.

It was a dissapointing concert to say the least. Athough it was a free event, attendee’s were lead to believe with the KIISFM website and other Ads for the event stating the event would take place from 6-9 pm, that the concert would last for more than 9 songs from 7:10pm-8pm. The quality staring time before the Jam began was the only memorable aspect of the evening with not a single piece of praise going towards the event itself. It seems like a harsh critique, but it was very difficult to find anything about it to praise about. I guess you get what you get from open events such as this, I just wish for next time the advertisements are more accurrately addressed that “You Get What You Pay For:Nothing.

Hannah Montana Season 3 Concert Taping

On Friday October 10th 2008 Miley Cyrus took on Hannah Montana to perform a free concert at the Verizon Wireless Ampitheatre in Irvine, California. Tickets were given out as party favors to those who attended her Sweet 16th Birthday Celebration the previous Sunday and the remainder of the seats were given out to ocatv.com seat fillers.

Lauren and her little sister Sara origionally had these seats because they attended Miley’s Birthday and didn’t try for tickets as seatfillers like I did although they were given some good fortune. Lauren is quite the ideal concert attendee, she sings and dances and acts like a complete fan; which lead concert hosts to ask her if she would like to move up with her sister to the pit for the rest of the taping.

They were lucky enough to have front row to the catwalk at first, and eventually thoughout the 18 song set (each of the 9 songs was recorded twice) they were able to have front row seats in a 10,000person+ arena.

Most of Hannah’s performance outfits for Season 3 seem to be very 80’s hip with one being country. All of her outfits were adorable besides one half blue half pink dress that was slightly questionable, but knowing that it’s a Hannah Montana concert and not Miley, Hannah can get away with wearing anything (and she does).

^^The Dress of Question. I think it’s great as a performance dress, but would an average 16 year old performer wear that on stage?

Overall, whether you were there for the taping or wound up finding the videos on youtube, it’s clear to see that dispite the controversy surrounding Miley as an individual, as a 15 year old girl she truly has made a name (and a brand) for herself that captures everyones attention. Her performances at Verizo were flawless and her voice becomes more in tune and superb each time. I personally can’t wait to watch season three of Hannah Montana and see what they have up their sleeves for the show. From what we have seen from the performances, it will be a great season that I will tivo every episode.

Miley Cyrus Celebrates her Sweet 16 at Disneyland

Hannah Montana starlet, Miley Cyrus, celebrated her much talked about Sweet 16th Birthday on Sunday at the Disneyland Resort in California. Disneyland closed its gates to the public at 5 pm to allow for a private celebration for 5,000 paying guests (tickets at $250 each) to enjoy in a special night with Miss Cyrus complete with a short concert and an array of special activities.

 

Disneyland posted that it would be closing at 5pm to guests, however news broke upon entering the parks via fliers that portions of the park would close even earlier than previously announced. Toontown for instance closed down at 3pm and many fast food locations with restraunts closed shortly after as well.

Many fans tried holding a spot in front of her purple carpet in hopes of catching a glimpse of the action before being asked to leave, however Cast Members diligantly made sure that everyone left before anything began.

Event guests entered the park at 6pm through a walkway leading them into the back of the part to begin the festivities while Miley and her special guests walked the Purple Carpet at another location in the park.

Party Guests were handed a special landyard with a pass featuring the Miley picture above and had to check in by last name in the line above as well.

  

Guests crowded around the parade path for the car holding Miley as she made her way around the park after the purple carpet interviews.

 

After the parade Miley walked around the park with multiple security guards in check along side her family where she rode her favorite Disney attractions such as Haunted Mansion. After the rides she made her way to the stage where Fantasmic is performed and put on a mini concert for her guests including: See You Again, Breakout, and Fly On The Wall.

The festivities continued with a makeover station, record your own c.d. station and an interactive game section all throughout the back part of the park before a little after 11pm when Miley gathered at the end of Main Street USA to blow out her candles and to start the firework show.

Pictures Courtsy of Disney

The Celebration lasted well after 11pm and for many fans, the exclusive park experience, Miley sightings and performance (along with free tickets to a Hannah Montana concert that Friday evening), firework show, cupcakes, and more. $250 may have seemed like a lot of money to spend on a night at Disney, but for those who went it was perfectly spent for an unforgettable one time only event.

A Night At Disneyland

 

 

Last night Maddie, Lauren, Sara, and myself made our way to Disneyland for different reasons. Maddie and myself went for Gay Day Weekend Celebration, while Lauren and her sister Sara went for Miley Cyrus’s Sweet Sixteen. We have the story from both ends from those who had to leave the park early, and those who were there for it all. Check back soon-Lauren has pictures and video of her experience (and a Miley Haunted Mansion story)

A Night at The Grove

                                    

 

After 3 days of Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato we had to switch it up for our weekend concert and see The Soundtrack of Your Summer Tour starring The Maine, Metro Station, Good Charlotte, and Boys like Girls.

To be honnest with you, Lauren and I only went to see Metro Station who we fell in love with as a band awhile ago but had yet to see them live. Dispite they worn’t headlining we bought the tickets, Friday came, we headed up to The Grove got lost and missed their set.

The most unfortunate aspect of it, came from the fact that when we did get to The Grove, Metro Station had just begun their set, but we couldn’t find any parking since The Grove has parking with Angels Stadium that was hosting a game against the Red Sox and therefore didn’t get to see them live because we were stuck outside with no where to park.

So just a little advice, if you ever see a concert at The Grove of Anaheim, make sure to arrive very early if it’s also an Angels home game, and don’t follow where the usher’s tell you to park, there’s parking right when you enter that didn’t fill up.

Having unfortunatly missed both of The Maine and Metro Station, we were able to work our way to the front for Good Charlotte’s set.

Good Charlotte’s performance was memorable to say the least. While they haven’t been on the scene much lately outside of being in association with Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton, they played both favorites and new songs alike.

The best thing to watch in their performance was the high likeness that Joel Madden was intoxicated. Often slurring words, if having not forgotton the words, and rambling on randomly with no point, the crowd with alcohol in hand was laughing right on with him.

Joel actually came on the stage with a cigarette in hand and during his rambling on’s inbetween songs with often pick up a clear cup of beer and start drinking.

However despite his interesting behavior the set list was almost flawless. Singing My Bloody Valentine, Girls and Boys, Dance Floor Anthem, The Anthem, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, The River and a few others, for those who arn’t fans like myself, we were all able to sing along due to the heavy airplay those songs in particular recieved.

Paris Hilton was also present during their set on a side note. In the first two pictures above you can find Miss Hilton on the right side of the stage wearing a black hat and black tank top to match. While Paris didn’t take to the stage, while Joel was talking every chance he could get, the audience’s attention would draw to her, watching her take pictures of herself, blow kisses to the crowd, and video tape Good Charlotte on stage as well as the audience. Paris made for a great side show.

After Good Charlotte’s set, Lauren and I walked outside for their had been talk that Metro Station would hang out with the fans after the show, and the fact that Lauren and I were unfamiliar with all of Boys Like Girl’s songs.

With no luck, we made our way to The Terra Rosa Room, a beautiful lounge full of chandeliers, velvet furniture, and t.v.’s to watch the show more comfortably. After some expensive snacks and drinks we made it inside the main room one more time to watch the final song of Boys like Girls.

Of course the final song was The Great Escape which was played frequently on MTV, and we realized we knew one of their songs but since we didn’t have lauren’s nice camera in hand, only took one photo of their performance.

Their energy is great, and the audience loved them, but the vocals could use a little more practice before they sound great live like they do on the radio. It came off like Panic! At the Disco’s performance at the MTV Video awards two years ago if any comparison should be given.

Since we were in the back of the stage room, we were in the loby quickly, and were able to see John from The Maine. We soon realized that there were many young girls who wanted autographs and so as soon as we took a picture with him we were ready to make our way outside.

John mentioned he was going to be back by the tour busses where they would be hanging out all night, so Lauren and I walked to the back of the Grove by the loading docks and the busses and were able to meet the rest of The Maine, as well as the lead singer from Boys Like Girls.

Flash and dark light didn’t help the situation much to the fact that Lauren’s camera started to die on us, but we were able to say hello’s and take a few pictures.

I’m pretty sure poor John had no idea we were taking pictures like this behind him but let’s us have a quick laugh.

Overall, it was a fun night. Slighly bummed that we missed Metro Station ( who never came out to greet fans afterwards) but the time spent behind the Grove getting to meet The Maine and Boys like Girls was a lot of fun and definatly made for a worth while evening. The Soundtrack of Your Summer Tour continues on in the States for another month or two, so check out if the tour is coming to an arena near you, it’s a memorable experience.

Goodnight & Goodbye

On Monday July 14th the Jonas Brother’s performed the the last of their three day weekend performance in Southern California, finishing filming for their 3D movie out January 2009.

The crowd was louder than either of the previous two shows, and the screaming fans made the temperature in the Honda Center anything but comfortable, but the excitement and energy was so great that nothing including the temperature or the late start get in the way of the evening.

Demi Lovato opened the show (unlike the night before) and performed a wonderful set. I was able to sit down for more of her performance for this show than the two previous and she has an amazing list of songs to work with. From the total of 5 that I was there for, there wasn’t a single song that I wouldn’t buy on ITunes that she sang.

At 16 years old, Demi has a true tallent and gift for performing and working the stage, and her strengths exceed far past her years. Although she went out of tune every now and then, Miss Lovato gave 100% into providing a memorable evening and I was very pleased with her set.

My favorite song of hers is probably Forget, a song about a relationship that ended in which one half is confused at why the other can act like they had “forgotton” the love that the two half’s shared. Every show the emotion that she shows through the song becomes less but the song itself speaks with enough emotion on its own and is a helpful song for anyone going through a breakup. Her set provided such an array of choices of emotions there was a song for anyone and everyone present.

Within a few minutes of Demi’s opening act ending, The Jonas Brother’s took the stage to an unheard of sea of screams.

The second night at the Honda Center was far different from opening night with less makeup breaks, less entertainment from their hosts (videos from the hosts working the crowd on Jonas Sunday Post), less time on stage, more energy, but as well, more mess-ups.

On more than a few occassions, Nick and Joe forgot words to their lyrics and would just pause and smile. The audience hardly took notice or cared but after a few times it comes off as unprofessional and that they were ok just getting through the performance rather than providing a wonderful night to the best of their ability. I was singing along, and simply happy to see them, but I definatly took notice. It was interesting because I have never seen them forget their lyrics before, but there’s always a first time for everything.

The show went on for just over an hour with no fans jumping on stage, no technical difficulties like the night before, and Big Rob didn’t even fall on stage! Fans that had attended the previous two shows like ourselves noticed that the lyrics were starting to stick, and many fans were able to sing along to Lovebug, Pushing Me Away, A Little Bit Longer, as well as to their other new songs.

The Jonas Brother’s had special guest Taylor Swift peform with them to Should’ve Said No around half way into their set. It was done well although many of the moves mimiced almost perfectly those that Demi Lovato just performed with the Jonas minutes before, and lacked the distinction to set herself apart and to show individuality.

Then, right after she performed Should’ve Said No with the Jonas Brothers, she came right back to sing the same song all over again, with the same moves and still lacking a unique sence to draw the crowds into rooting for her.

I understand that for filming a movie you have to have both performances as close to identical as possible for editing reasons, but as much as I wanted to cheer for her and sing along, her performance lacked energy and many crowd go-ers, including myself with my group sat down the second time waiting for the Jonas to take the stage solo again.

On a positive note, Kevin Jonas stepped up and performed amazing during the show. While he is always full of energy and engaging with the crowd, on Monday night he outshined himself, running around constantly, doing flips and turns and playing his guitar down the catwalk every chance he was given. I can’t think of a single time outside of Nick’s solo for A Little Bit Longer that Kevin wasn’t jumping off of something or running around. At one point at the end of the concert he actually got so close to the edge of the stage that he started to fall, turning it into a leap into the audience where he played in the crowd.

Overall, as a concert, Monday night was the most realistic, exposing their flaws and having story time with Nick talking about meeting a girl with diabeites just earlier that day and owning the stage. It was wonderfully done in the general broad scope and hopefully I get the chance to see them again either finishing the Burning Up Tour or on the start of another. Seeing the Jonas Brothers perform is worth every penny no matter what number of times it has been seeing them live. It hasn’t become old yet.

Burning Up For You Baby!

 

On Sunday July 13th the Jonas Brothers began a two night concert series at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California to film a self titled 3D movie that is set to hit theatres in January 2009. Complete with pyro, fireworks, elevations, and special guests, their performance at the Honda Center was full of energy and entertainment ready to provide an amazing and unforgettable evening.

 

I had seen the boys perform the night before at the Verizon Wireless Amp. but because the shows at the Honda Center were for their 3D Movie, it was quite different from the rest of their shows that I have attended in part of their Burning Up Tour 2008.

 

Typically, Demi Lovato opens the show performs for about a half an hour and then the Jonas perform an hour and a half set starting with That’s Just the Way We Roll and Ending with SOS. However, for the Saturday show Demi didn’t begin the performance, which threw many fans for a loop who were still out in the loby making a Jonas Brothers music video or taking pictures with the boys on a green screen for Burger King’s Apple Fries. The show which was to begin at 6pm began around 7:30pm and was more of a musical film set than that of a concert.

 

The boys began with That’s Just The Way We Roll and continued for two more songs before they ran off the stage for hair and makeup. Everytime the audience was jumping around and singing along it seemed like they would run off again. It was very much single performances filmed in sections.

 

Although the breaks did get in the way of a concert without inturuptions, it was easily overlooked by their energy and crowd involvement that other concerts of their’s never had, in that magnitude.

So much crowd involvement, some even ran on stage for hugs, making Big Rob fall before catching up to them.

There were four breaks and three costume changes but the concert went on beautifully with few noticing Joe’s wardrobe malfunction (his vest got stuck on the camera when he threw it off leading to girls in the audience tugging on the expensive camera trying to take the vest for themselves), Big Rob falling twice! (once to get the 3 adoring fans off stage as well as during his solo in Burning Up) or Joe getting a ball kicked into his face by Nick (on accident: balls seen in picture above).

The boys peformed for a good hour, and paid tribute to the huge success that is Camp Rock by performing Music’s in my soul, and Joe’s solo Where You Are. After Where You Are Demi came out on stage for This is Me and followed up with three more songs before the Jonas Brothers began again.

I must say Demi has powerful stage presence. Her energy and movements are very much like Miley Cyrus (In the best terms possible) and knows how to work the crowd. Her stage identity is very self-assured and demands attention which everyone at Honda Center was willing to give up to her. I’m more aquainted with her music now, and her debut album is going to be amazing by how it sounds now. She may not be Miley, but she will sure be a force to be reckoned with in the near future.

The boys put on an amazing show, but after the concert ended the lights stayed off for a “15” minute intermission (that ended up being a 45 minute intermission) before reshooting three songs that were messed up the first time around.

My friends and I got lucky and were able to trade in our seats here:

and get to move into our own private villa box in the lower levels. My friend Lauren has family friends that run the security at the Honda Center and he tried to get us backstage passes but they were very strict so we got our own box group seating instead which was amazing! It was complete with a bathroom, mirror, bar, drinks, food, living room-type lounge with a t.v. to watch what the camera crew was filming and a balcany with seats and air conditioning to have an upclose view of the concert with no one to block your view. We found out the box was ours for the whole night, but we were late getting back to them which is why we didnt have it at first.

However, the concert continued at past 10pm with the intro all over leading into That’s just the Way We Roll.

It lasted about 15 minutes and was a fun bonus to the concert ticket for seeing a few favorite songs played twice.

Overall the concert was done very well considering that they were filming a movie at the same time. Although it did come off at times as they were trying to get the perfect scene for the movie than to engage and care about the audience, I understand that if I was given a big budget film with so much riding on it like they do, I would do the same undoubtably. It was a great day two and probably the best concert I had seen them perform to that date.
