Ok so there WAS NOT AN OFFICIAL MEET AND GREET AT THE MERCH BOOTHS?  DID THEY HAVE PLAIN BLACK LH SHIRTS? No official meet and greet. They came out afterwards through the back door and spent over 30 mins with fans before leaving. (Look for a dark green bus pulling a U-haul type trailer). They only had one LH t-shirt. It was black with a picture of the band on the front and a small LH on the back. It was $40. Deli can be more specific because she bought one and got it signed. They also had a black LH touque (do you have that word in the States? ) - if not it's a knit hat. Have fun tonight RB! |

Bravo, Bravo TMO on your write up....Son saw your picture and wondered if you guys were getting Married  Love the photo. That's funny Trees because yesterday, when I was leaving for the concert, my 13 year old son asked me when I was going to be home and I said I wasn't coming home last night (I was staying downtown at my parent's) and my son says, "You're not going to take off with Marty are you?"  Ummm, no! LMAO out of the mouths of little ones eh? ;D Forgot about the "Face held with the Golden Touch"  |

They came out after the whole show. I stayed for the whole INXS, the encore, and JD singing O Canada with the crowd at the end. Then I hung around the merch tables, went to security, waited in a room for info..... and I still made it out back in plenty of time to see them. They hung out with fans until midnight! They are great guys, and I guess they know they are on the brink and have to "work it" right now. Lucky for us!  |

Oh, the power of the MC.org wristband. Thank you for telling us your story.
Takemeout that was a great picture you drew of both performances. You were a very lucky fan. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the great stories!! Takemeout--you were so honest about everything and I think it was great what you said about INXS. I'm glad to hear that they thanked LH. We are going to see them in Chicago and after your review I'm even more excited. You should be a play-by-play commentator |

Okay, so here's my report. Sorry it took me so long but we went out after and feeling a little rough today! IT WAS AMAZING!!!! I have been to lots of concerts but never so excited as last night! 40 minutes was NOT long enough. I can't wait until they tour on their own. Marty started with the scary conductor moves which was great! The walking on the back of chairs got everyone screaming. I have to agree with takemeout that (at least in Vancouver) 99% of the people were there for INXS. I was surprised at how many people stayed sitting throughout Lovehammers. Not me!!! I am having problems finding the words to express how great it was! I don't even remember all the songs they played and I have no voice today from all the screaming! I personally though JD rocked with INXS. I love all their old music and he is perfect for it. Marty would have been miserable singing that all the time. I was not a JD fan during RSINXS but man he looked HOT! The only thing that stopped me from thoroughly enjoying INXS was that I might be missing Marty in the lobby! I looked out a couple times to make sure that they weren't there. JD's Don't change (their final song) was not even close to as good as Martys' version. I think INXS should give him that song because I can't listen to them sing it anymore. My four year old son saw them performing that on Muchmusic and he said 'who is that guy and why is he singing Marty's song?!! He sucks!'. I'm training him well! Anyways thank goodness I saw takemeout flashing her wristband because we were hanging in the lobby after the show and I had about given up hope of meeting the guys. Over to the tourbus we went (Future show goers note that their bus is the only one pulling a trailer) we saw Dino across the street and then the best part of the night started! Marty saw our wristbands and came straight to us - hugs, talk, pictures ... the one where I'm leaning back was right after he licked my cheek! HELLO!! I was so excited that I dropped my camera after which is why there isn't more pictures. I got him to sign my Lovehammer shirt, then all the other guys signed it as well. Now the dilemma - if I wear it I'll have to wash it. Hmmmmm... I also bought a Lovehammer toque as I'm a skiier and will wear it on the hill. Anyways, spent alot of time talking to Bobby and Dino (did not think they were drunk) - they were extremely hot in person. And nice (which is important too!). Billy disappeared after only a little while. I went up to him and asked if he'd sign my shirt and he said "sure, I'm not doing anything else!" So future concert goers make sure you share the love with Billy! I spent every second I could staring at Marty and then ... time was up. They had to get on the bus to Seattle. Asked Dino if I could go with them. He said I'd be the only girl with 12 guys. Thought that would be okay, then remembered my husband. Oh well! It was an amazing night and I'm now jealous of everyone who's concert is coming up because our night is over. Until next time....

This is so awesome!! Thanks Deli and TMO you guys rock, I was shivering in my skin just reading about being held by Marty and also being licked by him (my god will you ever wash your face again!) They deserve great things. I also heartily agree that INXS should hand over "Don't Change" to Marty, it is HIS song now! |
