Just before heading to the airport for Taiwan last month, we went to see Aziz Ansari live on tour (for Modern Romance) and this was his first show ever at Madison Square Garden. Here are some pictures I forgot to post! Hoping Aziz will find these when he Googles himself one day!
At the beginning of the show, as he has done so in the past, he lets people take pictures of him so that the audience is not tempted to take pictures in the middle of the show and distract others. He poses in front of different pictures and hundreds of flashes go off...
Amidst the snow storm last Friday, we headed to Madison Square Garden to see Passion Pit, Matt and Kim and Icona Pop. I'm glad we didn't wuss out like certain whiners on facebook. ahum. As the concert progressed, the stadium filled up slowly and it seemed that NEMO did not deter the fans away. This was one of the most fun concert I have ever been to in a while. During the show, I did a lot of singing, jumping and dancing...I love it! What a good line up...Icona Pop opened the show with three songs including yes, 'I Love it'. The song was featured on 'Girls' a few episodes ago which spiked the popularity of this song again. They were followed by Matt and Kim who ROCKED the house down and finally Passion Pit. The stage had moving balls of different sizes moving up and down and confetti ending was so much fun! Passion Pit did one encore where they went straight to 'Sleepyhead' and the crowd went wild! See my video below and don't mind the singing and screaming!
So here is a video of Bush playing 'Glycerine' and some pics!
I checked the crowd, Gwennie and kids were not present I don't think.
First off, we got free tickets to the Nickelback concert at Madison
Square Garden so we were able to just go and leave as we please without
feeling too guilty..Even though the tickets were free, we weren't sure
if we wanted to see a Nickelback concert until... we found out that Bush
was opening for them (along with two other rock groups we have never
heard of) and decided that we wanted to go see the show! However, we left
right after Bush performed, before Nickelback even started. I feel
slightly bad but the only
song I wanted to hear from Nickelback - You Remind Me- was set to be
played near the end of the show and I just didn't want to sit through
the entire thing while the bf had no desire to stay at all.
Set list for Bush at MSG April 19th 2012:
1. Machine heads
2. The Sounds of Winter
3. Everything Zen
4. The Chemicals Between us
5. Come Together (Beatles Cover)
6. Little Things
7. Glycerine
8. Comedown
It was interesting to see how many different songs from Bush Dave and I knew and I
realized that most of the songs he knew, I was not familiar with. When D did some research, we realized that some songs that made it to the top of the charts in the US
never really made it in Canada and vice versa. For example,
Dave has never heard of 'Swallowed' but it was much played on Much Music in Canada right? It would be interesting to see if the set list changes during his performances in Canada targeting le Canadians audience :)
