it was quite cruel though.... we were right outside the door when they were doing sound checks and they wouldnt let us in, it was absolute torture. but in the end SOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

my mean ass boyfriend is going tonight without me
:/
it sucks being poor.

I rode past quenns wharf last night on my BMX while the show was on...

sounded a bit like Tool but shittier

and all these annoying cunts were standing around with the same t-shrt on. . . i thought the sevens were last weekend. . .

The Auckland show was mesmerising- doors opened two hours after the time that was on the tickets, but it was definately worth the money and the wait. Everyone in the band was on great form, although Jeordie looked distracted and agitated most of the night. Iha looked and played fantastic, his solo number was classic dead-pan Iha fun. Kinda sensed they were all pretty tired though, no one was moving round that much, although the energy was still there

Sound was a *wee* bit of a let down, no thanks to the massive reverb from playing in a big tin shed.. vocals were great, but the guitars werent chunky enough in the riffs, and the bass tone was all sub, which is a pity as they get some great tones on the album. Drum sound was mint, as was the guy playing 'em! Not surprising that Josh Freese is one of the most in-demand session drummers in L.A, he's just a machine, and his particular style was fascinating- almost always waiting, stick high in the air, til the absolute last second before playing a hit- plenty of off time fills (the fill leading into the chorus of Blue always gets me)

Depressing though that the best we can do for a band of this calibre in Auckland, venue wise, is a basketball hall (North Shore Events) -- would've been heaps better to see them in the town hall or the st. james. Would love to see a band like that, with 200 people packed into the powerstation, ah the good old days!

All in all a really good show, to be honest it didnt affect me anything like Tool did (the beautiful, wierd, almost drug-like 'high' for a good few hours after the show), but i know APC is a different beast and it was amazing to see

P.S - what the fuck was with all the couples around me making out the entire concert!? It was bogus! Since when did a rock concert turn into a form 2 social!?

//so who played support?

Nobody.
And now they can't actually say that they opened for APC...

I think the whole gear (or lack of) situation was the reason for the other late starts with no support.
Did they start on time in Christchurch?
