The last show of the tour was quite funny. Fran was chockful of impressions, including impressions of what people's conversations were like at the bar that were so loud that he could hear them talking; the usual drunk dougie impression; etc. The show was being filmed again. The setlist was pretty similar to the previous shows but Frandy were clearly relieved and happy that it was the last show so the energy made the show feel quite different. During the second chorus in Sing, Fran's G string broke and he yelled for Nick for a replacement and then tried to get on without the replacement, that took some time to figure out but it was very funny. Andy was onto his second cocktail about halfway through the set. At the start of another song (My Eyes?), Fran said something to Andy that amounted to "You're getting drunk and playing funny?" to which Andy must have replied with something like "I'm playing it right" and Fran said "Oh right, sorry!" Fran also yelled a lot for Nick, first to get tea (which a server eventually brought), and then just for fun, to see if he could get Nick's attention. Fran got annoyed by the talking at the bar eventually and told the person to shut the eff up; whoever it was so loud that I could hear him at my table as well! Dougie was at the show but only watching from the balcony (I suppose he feared being mobbed if he sat at the banquets).

After the show, Fran and Andy both got margaritas brought to them during the meet and greet and I think were getting progressive drunker and looser as the stream of fans passed through. It was great!

I've been to a handful of shows, and although not the full band, this seemed all the more special due to the intimate setup. The anecdotes accompanying the songs were very entertaining and made them all the more endearing. LOVE the slideshow they created as well. Would be great if they did another tour like this down the line.

As an aside...to the blonde girl who STOLE my Travis t-shirt - KARMA is a bitch :)

Last night's show was perfect! Aside from the trio of dudes & a blonde standing next to me talking for most of the set... But Fran sorted them out. My highlights were definitely "big chair" and "beautiful" which i had never heard before! The stories were fantastic and the fact that Fran & Andy took so much time for everyone after the show is amazing. Fantastic night.

I love the format of the concert, it was great to hear the story behind each song. I can not get over how nice they are, to stay after a long show to say hi and sign cd's....it is just amazing.
The venue is great and I dont think there is a bad sit on the place. Sound was good too.
Thank you for a great show!! Come again soon.

sooooo completely thrilled about this show! I couldn't have asked for anything more, great seating, great stories, great set list... wasn't expecting to hear Blue Flashing Light!!!!!! i took advantage of taking pictures like a mad woman cause at the concert in Boston the security people at that Venue took my camera away! Meeting them was just the best! i thought i was going to be an absolute hysterical spaz but i actually functioned as a normal person, probably because Fran and Andy are just so great they didn't make if feel like they were these untouchable stuck up celebs. it was kinda like seeing an old friend that lives out of town! Loved every second of it!!!!!! once i figure out how to post pix on here i'll be doin that!

The show was AMAZING! Just got around to posting some pics up. I know it wasn't the whole band but this could be an interesting concept to keep up with the others *hint hint* :-)

To listen to the back story of the songs, with the chronological progession, and hear it played live and acoustic was truly a pleasure!

Thanks again for a wonderful night and what I can only imagine was a great tour for you both. Best xoxo
