The drive was madness, the line was insanely long and the ticket-less line was pushy. I've never made a secret of my profound hatred of heat and sticky skin but for Kings of Leon I would endure that and more. Much More.
The opening acts, the Features and Built to Spill, were good but by nine I was ready for my boys to get on stage. The heat took a break and as the sun said it's goodbye a welcomed breeze gave us a sigh of relief.
Walking on the musical rifts of Lacrimosa the walked on. I screamed when they played Crawl, lost it during Milk, sang my heart out with Caleb as he belted On Call, dance like I was in my room alone Bucket, Use Somebody, My Party, Notion and Molly's Chambers. And well, when Sex on Fire started playing I was so far gone I could barely keep the shouts and professions of love from making their way out of my mouth. Along with Knocked Up(favorite song of theirs by the way) they showcased three new songs, I don't know the names because my dear, sweet, beard sporting Caleb didn't name them but one about Going Back Down South made a lovely impression.
Traffic to leave was a nightmare, I got home smelling like pot and the beer some tipsy guy spilled on my boots, my voice has that I've smoked for years quality but I wouldn't trade the night for anything. I had the best time and quite honestly when I think about getting to see one of my favorite bands Live! the other stuff washes away.
Dear,
Caleb, Nathan, Jared and Matthew or Followill boys,
I love you, blast your music way past the time that is acceptable in my neighborhood, pump yours words into my ears at a inhumane volume and in that same volume. I love that you accepted your Grammy a bit lit and I love it even more how humble you all are down to our very cores. Thank you for the fantastic, audio orgasmic, magical show and though you didn't play California Waiting or Soft, I'll have you know that I'll go back down south with you guys! (I did not mean that to sound as dirty as it did but I'm going to apologize for it.)
Love, Melissa.
Happy Thursday and go listen to some Kings of Leon!
