Hey everyone! I'm writing to you from my hotel room in LA. My mom decided on thursday at the last minute that she wanted to see a Travis show when I told her they probably weren't coming back for a while. Soooo, we dropped everything we had on Friday and drove the 6 hours to LA. I should also mention that on Thurs about an hour after we made all our plans I fell and think I have rebroken my foot that never fully healed (i'm a klutz). But, it was totally worth it (although pogoing on one foot was mighty difficult). I have only attended 3 Travis shows now, but that was by far the best one-what a great crowd (except the two girls that managed to push me an entire two rows back in the beginning). I'll do a full and proper review and pictures later, but here is the setlist as I remember it.
First part of 3 Times and You Lose right into Chinese Blues
Writing to Reach You
J Smith
Selfish Jean
Re-offender
Side/Eyes Wide Open (fuckin' amazing!!!)
Something Anything
Long Way Down
Love Will Come Through
Falling Down
Closer
Sing
Humpty Dumpty Love Song
All I want to do is Rock
Before You were Young
Turn
Sarah (Fran Only)
Why Does It Always Rain on Me
My Eyes
Slideshow
Blue Flashing Light (!!!!)
The songs in the middle section are probably out of order.
Hung around until the band came out around 1:30AM and now I can't move, but it is all worth it. So I have had an absolutley amazing week. Thank you so much Fran, Andy, Dougie and Neil for the amazing shows!!! (and pictures and autographs!) I know you said you wouldn't be back for a while, but I'll be waiting.

Oooh man, This makes me wish I could have gone to the LA show!! I went to the Anaheim one, but I had a gut feeling that LA would be EPIC.
Glad you had a great night!!! Hope the leg gets better :) |

| It was a GREAT show! I didn't expect them to play Falling Down or Slide Show, so those were nice surprises. Also, I think I was standing RIGHT next to you in the pit, Lindsey, hah. Crazy coincidence, right? |

Lindsey that is great that you got to go again. Sounds like a great show. I can't wait to share my own tale.
And that is funny that calicbi was right next to you.
Hope your foot heals. I think you are clumsier than me. That's a feat. |

Hey LindsEy, sorry about your foot but that's awesome that you went to see them again. I'm glad the crowd was into it and I hope they keep that momentum all the way to Chicago.
P.S. Rest your foot:) |

| YAAY! I was there too! I went to both the Anaheim and LA show and it was amazing. Met them after the show, and they were so awesome. The pogo-ing was super fun but I must say, a bit tired towards the end. Haha. Sorry to hear about yer foot, but hey, at least you had an awesome time. |

I was there, and I was waiting for them too! Always worth it, even though this was my fourth time seeing them! :D I wish I was closer when Fran jumped into the crowd for "Falling Down"! :D I love that they performed that and "Slideshow"!!!!!!! ^__^ It was an amazing show!
Ahh, thank you for uploading the video of Sarah too! *g* |
