My Valentine's Day

So I had an absolutely fabulous Valentine's Day. My favourite guy was in town. Yes Rob Thomas was in Melbourne. So off i was to see him do his thing. Oh and for those of you who don't know who Rob Thomas is, he's the lead singer of Matchbox Twenty.


If u don't know who Matchbox Twenty are, then erm..look it up the internet or something..they had really really good songs that came out when we were in form 1 or 2. Among those are Push, 3 a.m., and then later in the years there were If You're Gone, Mad Season, Disease among others. Rob Thomas then started his solo career, hence the solo tour: Something To Be.

Here's my concert ticket which i will forever keep as a souvenir:

The program for the nite was as below:
7.00pm: Doors open
8.00pm: The Hampdens (opening act)
8.30pm: Interval
9.00pm: Rob Thomas

The Hampdens: A local band from Perth, now based in Melbourne. They sang about 6 or 7 songs..weren't too bad. But everyone cheered when they said "this is our last song". Everyone couldnt wait for them to leave n for Rob to get on stage.

Crew clearing the stage. During the interval, this was when the crew cleared equipment of the Hampdens off the stage. They then set the stage for Rob's band, made sure everything was working well.

Below of some of the pictures which i managed to snap. Please ignore the bad quality of the picture. Given the situation, i could not snap great photos. Due to lighting in the arena, i had to use nightscene settings. And of course u need a tripod or really really steady hands, and i had neither. And with all the excitement of hearing his voice i couldnt be bothered concentrating on the photos.







It was his birthday as well, so we all sang to him Happy Birthday..they had a cake n all..he was so shy..hehe..Anyways, after singing songs from his solo album and also songs from matchbox twenty, i was blown away! So I had a blast!! Left the arena smiling and grinning away. Worth my money and NO REGRETS!!!
