AUCKLAND, NZ SHOW REVIEW
I just got home and am on the net already cos everyone's gone to bed haha


It was AMAZING. Didn't seem like there was a spare seat in the arena. Second row was a very good view Big Smile [:D]
Gym Class Heroes were awesome, can't wait to see them at their own show in Sydney because they put on a very good show but the crowd didn't know many songs. Played for about half an hour
No changes in the set list that I am aware of - played Wonderful Life though. No Flourescent or U Started It.
I would say she'll definately be back with ND judging by her response, she seemed pretty stoked on the place and kept apologising for not being here in so long. She pointed out all of the people with signs which was cute haha. The band were awesome of course. There were video screens, didn't seem like much was downgraded from the US tour from what I could tell.

I'll post some photos up later - just got a camera so was playing around with it a bit so there's plenty of crap ones haha

For all you Aussies - to be honest the merch was pretty average. Just a few tour shirts, posters and tourbooks, and it was pretty pricey so I didn't buy anything because I'd rather order off the net.

I gotta say, after seeing tonight it just makes me more excited for ND back together and on tour

Righto gotta get some zzz's as I have a plane to catch tomorrow! Hope everyone who was there had a sweet time

Re: AUCKLAND, NZ SHOW REVIEW

It was incredible!

For Cool she went up (directly in front of us!) and sang  in the audience!

She did mention ND recording soon and then touring here.

I don't really know what to say that's new... the audience was a bit tame at first, but eventually warmed into it. Gym Class Heroes were good (I think someone was asking whether the main singer would sing with Gwen - he didn't). Gail Ann Dorsey was AMAZING, Stephen & Gabe did their dancy thing like they do at ND concerts. The breakdancers were fantastic and got a huge crowd response.

Gwen talked about the flight, saying how it was worth it  to come all the way here, and she'd do it again milliions of times for this audience. She talked about taking Kingston to the zoo and seeing the elephant, and something about a round turning thing.. it was really cute, she couldn't find the words to describe it (I got the impression she was talking about a merry-go-round type thing).

In the bit where she gets the audience to imitate her she said "kiwi", and also mentioned Auckland a lot during the show.

Yep.

Re: AUCKLAND, NZ SHOW REVIEW

Argh I forgot to take a photo of the merch! The coolest things were a green tshirt with a pic of Gwen (kinda old-schoolish looking, $55, I think) and the hoodies ($99) with the same pic on the back. There were black and white horizontal striped tees ($55, I think), and the usual white with tour dates ones as well. There pins (a complete rip off - $15 each!), dolls ($50), posters ($15 or $25, can't remember which) and programmes ($30). Beanie hat thingies. Um... that's all that comes to mind so far..

Sorry I have a crap memory for this kind of thing!
