Vienna - Arena, 7.11.2010

What an awesome night! Brian played both my requests "Red At Night" and "Say I Won't" I wished they'd really tried for a Guinness Book Record and never stopped playing ;o)
Here's the video of Red At Night

and the setlist (though I messed up the order of the encore): Setlist Vienna Arena

Any chance that someone recorded the gig???? PLEASE ....

Awesome =)

How did you request? Via Twitter?

It was such a great show! The fourth and sadly the last this year for me. They played one of my requests, too. (Old Haunts)

Very nice, I was thinking to request that too next friday.

Brian said: "I'm going to give it back to you, we're having everybody sign it, then we'll give it back to you". So I guess he had made a sign.

this was my 6th TGA show and it was the best of them.

I twittered Brian, made a sign, which I already had with me in Munich and which the band saw and recognised. After the Munich show I talked Alex R. into trying to convince Brian to do the song. And in Vienna we got the unique opportunity to watch the soundcheck, Alex remembered and Brian asked me which song that was I wanted to hear. But he was not sure if he could do it given that he hadn't performed it for nearly 2 years. He promised to try and asked again for an alternative. That's when I came up with Say I Won't.
At the gig I was front row, they did recognised me and the sign ;o) and when Brian came out on his own for the encore I was kinda sure that he convinced himself to try. I gave him the sign where I wrote the lyrics on the back and he actually used it (its on his right on the amp - if you watch the video carefully you'll see him peeking down a few times). I was really overwhelmed and when they played Say I Won't as well I couldn't believe my luck! It was just a BRILLIANT gig!!!

@ enola

i saw you giving him your sign and it's awesome you got it signed by them =) good idea btw

my 3rd tga concert so far and it have to confirm what vamike said, it's been their best so far =)



@ vamike

have you been in the moshpit too? (if you can call it that way)

oh, and i was sooo happy that they played river's edge as their 5th song, escpecially cause it didn't get played @ their germany-gigs


she loves you was another highlight, most people didn't even know the song, cause few knew the lyrics^^

Wherefore art thou!

You luck people I have only seen them play that once out of 7 or at times of seeing them and its my fave that whole set list is awesome though.

We'll the idea came up in me when I was playing it at home. I've already requested it on Brians twitter and I'll make a sign too. I will be bringing my harmonica with me, just in case he need it !

but they have to be really special in the States, don't they? Although I really hope that Vienna was special for TGA, too!

Saw it already on Twitter ;o) Good luck with it! Try to get to first row - with the special treat of you playing harmonica I guess the chances are pretty good. But please make sure that someone films it!!!

And another version of Red At Night ... filmed by Nicole just next to me - but she was quicker and captured most of the introduction speech:

Youtube

so we 3 agree, it was very special to us =)


and yes i hope too that this gig was special for tga too and that they will come again real soon and maybe play another austria-gig

graz would be great^^
