It was a long time ago when we told you that Blink 182 was planning an eurotour and Spain was in the map, but time has flown by and the dates have come and passed.
In the first place, we travel to Barcelona, where we met some friends and we sleep one night in the queue. It is amazing how people love this band, some crazy guys slept even 4 nights!
The time we spent was nothing but funny even though we could not sleep too well (the ground is not so comfortable.) During the day, the sun and the nerve made some people be kind of unfriendly but nothing important.
Then we got our "uniforms" on and tainted our hair red, yellow and green (like the Take Off Your Pants And Jacket album) and we run hella fast just to get front-row sites. Then, you know, once the concert started everything passed so freaking fast.
The show commenced with the amazing "the all american rejects" and their show was perfect, the voice of the singer is much more powerful than it sounds in the albums. The setlist:
- Dirty little secret
- Top of the world
- Swing swing
- Kids in the street
- Walk over me
- Gonzo
- It ends tonight
- Move along
- Gives you hell
Later, Mark Travis and Tom made the night, they're absolutly nice.
The setlist:
- Feeling this
- Up all night
- The rock show
- What's my age again?
- Down
- I miss you
- Wishing well
- Dumpweed
- Always
- Violence
- After midnight
- First date
- Blowjob song
- Heart's all gone
- Man overboard
- Ghost on the dancefloor
- Fuck a dog
- All the small things
- Fuck a dog.
Encore:
- Can a drummer get some?
- Carousel
- Dammit
- Family reunion.
In my opinion, the setlist lacked of some classics such as "mutt", "not now", "aliens exist" or "reckless abandon" but this is the problem with this bands, they have so many amazeballs songs that it's literally impossible to add them all in an only gig.
When the concert was over, we took a shower and got a bus to Madrid, but this time we decided go to the show more relaxed and didn't queue. In the show(that was very similar) we jumped, got sweaty and screamed like hell. It is amazing how so many people love to jump and dance in mosh pits just like us.
The all american rejects played the same songs but Tyson Ritter, the lead singer, came on the stage dressed like a Torero.
This time, Blink played "when you fucked grandpa" instead of the blowjob song. And I'm not sure it was a good example for his song who was in the stage watching how amazing his dad rocks!
And this is how it ended, a lot of memories, sticks, posters and picks. Some of out friends even met the bands members. It was some of the days more special of my life, and if we are lucky this won't be the last time!
Here you can watch a pair of vids. The first one is from Barcelona and the second from Madrid.
