Ouch. What happened to you?
(When I saw the DVD from the Glasgow Concert it seemed as if the people in the front row were crushed against the barrier.
It looked painful. Did that also happen to you?) |

waaa really?? T_______T I'm scared!! I'd love to see Travis very near but if you tell me that.. I'll have to think about it seriously... however, the problem is that being in a very large crowd can make me sick because I'm rather static in concerts and I don't move very much T_____T
are Travis concerts peaceful or people jump and crash into each other like in Foo Fighters concerts or Linkin Park? xD
thanks for your advice! |

I hope you´ll soon be well again!
That´s one of my nightmares, when I go to a concert.
I recognised, that the people can become really thoughtless and brutal, especially in Germany.
When I was in Manchester, there were two boys making trouble in the crowd and they were thrown out by the security. I was really surprised, ´cause in Germany you often have to use your elbows and grit your teeth. |

| I suppose you never know but all the Travis gigs I have been to have been great at the front. Just one or two where ppl who are pissed and push their way to the front at the end of the gig. Fran stops it if there is anything too serious looking , so go to the front and enjoy it . You could always move back if you thought it was getting hairy ;-) |

I wasn't aware of anything until Sara told me after the show, yeah, I saw the Dougie's face when the security guy jumped the fence and it was .... oh men! what happens? (I thought the same), and when a girl fainted...... |
