Lifehouse are awesome. That's pretty much it. Jason Wade is even better in person. The whole atmosphere of every song comes across so much stronger than on the cd (or mp3).
The show started off quite bouncy, with some of the newer rockier songs, but there was a wonderful mix of old stuff in there too. They played some of my favourites, like Everything, Broken, Hanging by a Moment, Breathing, You and Me and Blind. Jason did a mini acoustic set in the middle, which was lovely.
I think I like my favourite songs even more now that I have heard them live. Especially Broken. It is one of those songs that just has this power, and live that power is amplified. You and Me was also lovely, because everyone could sing along, and that had that wonderful feeling of when thousands of people sing one song together in a venue. If you have never had that live music experience then I am sorry, it is wonderful.
I took some photos - a selection of which are here. They are pretty much Jason orientated, because he is quite special. That's not to say the rest of the band aren't. I also made some mini snippet videos, which I don't feel right putting on here (for copyright reasons, because they contain their music, and we have to be careful and respectful of that). But I am now watching them over and over - mostly for the sound element, I am not a particularly good videographer, but the sounds that come from them are lovely.
I'll leave with you with some photos, and I hope that everyone gets to see their favourite band live once in their lives, its really quite nice.
