Kings of Leon live

Kings of Leon at Rod Laver Arena ,Melbourne, Vic, Australia on Nov 16, 2011 (setlist, news, video)

2011-11-18T09:11:00.001-08:00

Well I can see through all the video's on youtube that this was a crowd that knew all of kol's songs! I told my wife this would be a great show to go to as I have a lot of friends on the internet that live near Melbourne,Australia or are going to the show! This is probably where I would go if I had a chance to go to Australia! I heard from a lot of fans that could not believe this band ever had problems this year as they played like the rock stars they have become, though they do not like to be labeled as such!

I noticed that all their stage equipment was with them as well and after the few stripped down shows in Canada, that is a great sight to see! I went to google maps to see Rod Layer Arena so I could get a better feel for where the boys from Kings of Leon would be playing and it looked to be a big arena! I also noticed a stadium close to this one that was even bigger! Seeing that stadium made me wonder if Caled and the boys were able to watch a real a real game of football called rugby! Since they love college football and their Oklahoma Sooners! Maybe they even meet some of the big time players and got to see the huge stadium! Of course they might even have had some of the players watching their show! haha makes ya wonder! They did get this picture! Nathan has said he loves to golf and has been in a contest or two! Jared must have been off somewhere planking!! haha or I guess the new thing now is Tebowing! What will they think of next?

Tweeted by Nathan: “Handsomeville population 4. Boomer Sooner” | Caleb, Nacho, Nathan and Chris | President’s Cup, Melbourne (17 Nov 11)

Lead singer Caleb Followill admitted he had been quaking in his boots five years ago when the US rock group played the arena, supporting Pearl Jam.

"I don't think I've ever been so terrified as I was then waiting to come on," he told the crowd. "But I'm not afraid any more."

The Use Somebody band have been living it up in Melbourne.

After catching up with Joe and Tony Hachem after the show, they ended up back at Crown playing poker until late.

I don't know about you all but I would have loved to run into them at the Crown while they were playing poker! I do have a few friends that did run into them at a bar in Indianapolis, Indiana back in 09. I guess the boys were down stairs in this bar so my friends didn't get to hang out or anything but the boys were really nice to them and they even got a picture with each of them!

Even though we spent the day with them during the filming of 'Back Down South' we were not able to get any pics with the band or anyone else! We did get to take plenty of pictures of them and tons of video as that was what we were told to do, when they gave us all the kodak playsport camera's!

Thanks to a few awesome fans who took the time to actually take video, we can now enjoy that moment in time! I love to live through the video's of shows I have not been able to attend. Here is one from a youtube user who's channel is called DBJ190. Thank you dbj190 for posting! We all know it is hard to stop rocking at a kol show and it is even harder to hold still while filming so what you took was pretty good!

Everyone seems to be really having a blast and I can only imagine what it was like to be there! One day we will hopefully get to join in on the Australian side and rock from down under!

I love how all of the fans (in this next video) sing along with Caleb! I have been to shows where the majority of the people only knew 2 songs and if you are reading this then I probably don't have to tell you which ones! haha Here is another video of 'Revelry'

And if these songs weren't enough they actually played one of my favorites ....Fans !
I was so jealous of these fans when I saw the setlist as they didn't play this at our last show and I was really thinking they would do to all of the old songs they had been playing! I think this is a little look at what we might expect at our shows coming up in their next tour. But like I have been saying for awhile now...I believe they will be taking the 6 months off to get back into the studio and record more! Though I think they will take next summer 2012 and actually do the make-up tour for us guys here in the US! I think we will hear some of their new songs then but I don't think it will get released till the end of the year or possibly 2013. But we will all just have to wait and see! Here is the fan video of 'Fans'

And here is the setlist ! Sorry I do not have the time to flip it or I would! maybe later!
I hope the fans enjoyed this set because I know I would have loved it!

Well all in all I think the fans were treated to a great show! When Kings of Leon returns it should be with some new songs and a tuely refreshed attitude. I just hope we have the money to be able to visit all the shows we would have this year with our tour pass! I am hoping for a new job or to win the lottery! Until then I will just have to work at the job I have and hope for a miracle.

Kings of Leon Setlist, video & review for concert at Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Hindmarsh Sa, Australia on Nov 11, 2011

2011-11-13T04:27:00.001-08:00

I noticed that no one had even written a review of Kings of Leon's 11-11-11 show in Adelaide, South Australia so after talking to a few fans I will do my best! It looks like the boys are back and stronger than ever and Caleb seems to be actually enjoying himself! Most usually he doesn't dance or move around that much but I have noticed though all the fan video's that he has been dancing and bopping around more than ever on stage! Of course most of us die hard fans will take it either way!

Back in October when the boys were in Canada they seemed to have stripped the stage of all the screens and went to a more basic stage presence but now it looks like all 6 video strips are back along with a few full video screens. Maybe they had problems with getting all their equipment to the past shows? They do have to tear down and set up at each show and with someone driving all their equipment to each show there can be troubles with the semi's or road work,etc that could have been the reason for their stripped down shows in Canada! Of course it also could simply be they just wanted to get back to the basic's after their break and did not want to add a lot of stress to an already stressful first few shows after returning! I for one am happy to see their stage back to full glory!

Here is a video of the show at Adelaide entertainment center in S. Australia on 11-11-11 what an easy date for fans to remember too! Nov 11, 2011 is a date I would have loved to be at! You can also check out some fan reviews on superglued.com by going here superglued

I did not realize how big the adelaide entertainment center that kol played at was so big but if you want to do a virtual tour then use this link! I will say one thing...this place looks beautiful and I would love to see it in person one day! Maybe when I am 70 I will be able to see the boys from kol here of course it won't be as special by then! haha here is the link below!

Kings of Leon new song 2011,2012

2011-11-10T10:30:00.000-08:00

(video below)
Well I guess Kings of Leon will be taking a 6 month tour break after their tour in Australia and it looks like they have already have a new song! You can hear parts of their new song in this video below! I love the raspy sound that only Caleb can produce.

KOL will finish their Australian tour then take their six month break, which should give them a chance to get into the studio and put some more songs together. I imagine Caleb and the boys have already started writing during their small break! I have always heard that most artists write some of their best songs during hard times in their life. ! Canceling the whole U.S. then having a lot of fans angry at them this year and not to mention all the employees who were working for both Kings of Leon and Band of Horses ,had to be hard on them all! So it is quite possible we could all be in for one of their best albums yet!

My wife and I are still waiting to hear from our contact with MTV over our lost tour pass! I think they are probably waiting on kol to give them their plans. We are sure they will be giving us another tour pass but we already lost so much on the pre-paid hotels that it will be hard for us to save what it will take to go this time around! Plus it will also be hard for me to get pre-paid rooms again which will help because they are a lot cheaper per night! We will just have to wait and find out! Hopefully we will have a lot of visitors to this blog and the people who do visit will see adz they like and click on them which will help us out as we get a little money each time someone does! If you are someone who wants to help out and you can afford to then please use the paypal donate button at the top! We would also like you to leave a message if you do decide to donate so we can thank you!

Here is their new song with more below

I hope that all the Australians enjoy both Kings of Leon and Band of Horses! And I hope that they get to hear Kings of Leon's new song. I know I cannot wait to hear kol's new song and hopefully by the time they get back to the US they will have more than just the one new song! I really do believe that we are all in for a great new album from Kings of Leon and I will waiting for that pre-sale of the new kol album!

I am also waiting for their tour mates band of Horses new album as they have been playing a couple of new songs and I cannot wait to here the whole album. I think we are all in for a treat because I have heard a few of Band of Horses new songs and there is one that is especially good! I think it will be their first single off their new album! We will just have to wait and see!

Rumor of a Kings of Leon makeup tour

2011-09-15T08:36:00.000-07:00

Well we are still waiting on the folks at MTV to let us know what they are going to do if anything for the loss of our King of Leon tour pass! (road to slane castle 2nd place prize we won) I hope there is money involved but I doubt it!

The fulfillment manger for our prize (Sasha) did send me an email yesterday stating that she just wanted to touch base. Sasha explained how that the people from MTV were reaching out to the band to see what their plans were and that rumor has it that kol is planning a makeup tour in the U.S.! Of course, this is just a rumor at this point! She also said, they (the band) were going through some internal struggles so who knows what that means! I personally think it is between Caleb and the boys because as much as I love the band I have heard that Caleb is mean and sometimes rude to them! I have a twin brother and we say and do things to each other that would freak most people out! But then the next minute we are laughing and all is ok so I do know how brothers fight and that the people around them can make a whole lot out of nothing!

I hope they do get their troubles worked out and come back refreshed in Canada. The only thing that worries me is that they already have a lot of shows lined up so I don't want them to add the whole US makeup tour too soon and end up in the very same place they are now!

The way Sasha was talking, MTV would give us another tour pass but what they don't realize is that we already spent the money we had saved! We are both working poor people who both are not even working in our fields due to the economy! I used to make 4 times what I make now and our savings was all put into the trip to Colorado, which we would'nt have gone on the trip if not for winning the tour pass! Now we are basically broke and when you get paid what we do it is really hard to save anything! I doubt if we could afford a tour pass even if it were 2 years out.

I really hope they give us some money along with the the tour pass but for some reason I really doubt it. This really hurts because I really wanted this for my wife who never asks for anything! I could'nt even afford to get her a real engagement ring so I bought her a stone ring at the animal rescue zoo that she loves to go to and told her this was just till I could afford a real one! Now, she wears that ring like it is the real one and says she doesn't want a real one now because that is her engagement ring! She is such a wonderful wife and I AM the luckiest guy in the world!

I just hope if they do another tour and we get another tour pass, that I can afford to take her! I don't ever get to do much for her other than love her and keep a roof over her head, so this would really be nice!

Here are some more pictures of our Colorado trip! We visited Bishop castle which is still being built! Jim Bishop has been building this with rocks and his hard labor for the past 45 years! This is proof of what one man can do with an imagination and hard work! He has no blue prints and he says if he makes a mistake he just calls it art! haha hope you enjoy though I doubt anyone is reading this due to I never see any comments!

Kings of Leon at Red Rocks 8-31-2011

2011-09-02T12:17:00.000-07:00

Well after a long drive (about 24hrs) we finally made it to Denver! The drive here was so amazing as I have never been to Denver so seeing the Mountains as you get closer was such a gift! I was really wanting to see some road runners as I have always heard they were out here but sadly we only saw one and it was on the side of the road and let's just say it won't be running anymore!
Our first day in Denver we decided to head out to Red Rocks since that was the main reason we had come out here! Driving into Red Rocks was so beautiful but sad at the same time as it reminded me of losing the tour pass to KOL and what a great show would would not be seeing. I decided to not let that keep me down so the first thing I did was park (outside of the hole that you drive through to get to the top of the red rocks amphitheater) and I climbed up a hill and planked on top of a big rock! -continues below pictures-

So we spent some time enjoying the beauty of Red Rocks, took some funny pics and thought a little more of what it would have been like to see our favorite 2 bands (Kings of Leon and Band of Horses) then we headed back to the hotel to plan our next days adventure. On the way out though I wanted to get myself a keepsake rock so I pulled over and started to walk into the ditch and was quickly reminded (by a rustling in the tall dead grass and the glimpse of a snake), that I was not in Indiana and that just walking into a ditch here can get you bitten by a poisonous snake which could really ruin your day! Back to the safety of the car I went! haha I hate snakes and I could not agree more with KOL's uncle Cleo more when he said "the only good snake is a dead snake"! My own father has always said the same and thing and I completely agree with both! LOL

Check back tomorrow and I will have pics and video of our trip to Bishops Castle where I also planked on top of the Castle that was built by one man!

Man and wife lose 30 show tour pass to Kings of Leon through MTV, due to canceled tour

2011-08-23T21:52:00.000-07:00

If you don't know about the contest we won there is more info here kolcontest we were the 2nd place winners which was the tour pass to all 30 of kol's shows in the US for the summer of 2011 now canceled!

Here is our newest video with footage of the 2 seconds we were in the Kings of Leon video 'Back Down South' Hope you enjoy our little funny video!

I couldn't wait any longer so I sent my tour pass contact another message! Her name is Sasha and she works with a company called pop2life and to the best of my knowledge they take care of winners and other aspects of prizes and contests.

First of let me say how wonderful Sasha from pop2life has been! She has been really nice to me and I know she has been working hard to get an answer for me!

I won the tour pass through MTV and that is who Sasha has to wait on for my answer! She told me that the reason it was taking so long is the fact that this has never happened to them before! If you think about it how many times are a whole tour been canceled and of those times no one probably had a tour pass to all of the shows,so this probably has them all wondering what they should do. I just wished they would hurry up and decide!

Now that the tour is canceled me and my wife are stuck with hotels all over the US that we cannot get a refund from! The reason we cannot get a refund is because we pre-paid for our rooms way back in march or April so we could get the lowest rate possible but with that low rate came the issue of no refund no matter what the reason! Now we either have to go and try to enjoy ourselves or we stay at home and lose the money anyways! This really hurts us financially which we were ok with when we had the tour pass but now it is just more insult to injury!

We really do love Kings of Leon and we hope they all get the rest they need! That is why we haven't really gotten upset at the band because we are both hard working, but poor people and we know how hard the band has worked... without a real break! We just hope that we can go see them like we were going to this time! But we know the chances of that are probably slim to none at best! It makes me wonder if any of them know that we lost our tour pass! I do know that Jared said in an interview that he watched all the contestants videos that we all had to send in as part of the contest!

So we are going but since we were going to see the shows and that was all free, we didn't need any money to enjoy ourselves but now we do and we don't have it! I wish MTV would just give us the money that the tour pass was worth so we could at least enjoy our vacation! If we would have known we would not be taking our vacation in the places we are, we would have went somewhere of our choosing and it would have been cheaper to get a hotel for a solid week somewhere as opposed to all over plus all the driving we have to do!
I just hope we hit the lottery or something before we leave in 3 days! haha Maybe if we had the money we would see Band of Horses show in Denver but that would take away our gas money of getting home! This really bites!

Kings of Leon 2011 summer tour started!

2011-07-29T22:05:00.000-07:00

(Make sure you scrool down to see our twins video with our favorite Band of Horses song off their latest album Infinite Arms!)

Well the shows have started and we are in serious withdraw and in need for our KOL fix! We will not be able to use our tour pass for the first part of the tour due to not having enough gas money! Thanks to the 2 awesome internet friends and fellow fans who helped us out! Actually, their help is why we are able to go to the Indy show, which we were going to cut out, even though it is the closest show to us!

With the way the shows are set up and us living in Auburn,Indiana, it was back tracking! But the help we received enabled us to add the Indy show! We really are on a very tight budget so the help was a big win for us! Thanks again!

We will start using our kol tour pass by going to the Detroit show then back home to work the next day! (wanted to go to the Cincinnati show but cannot afford the gas money to add the show)

Next, we will head out for Chicago on Friday, where we will be able to see the show and then stay at one of my wife's twin daughters home. We will get up in the morning and also get to see our twin daughters and twin grand babies before we head out to Indy for the Saturday night show! I love Indy because every show we have been to rocked because the fans really get into it!! (We have nothing to do in Indiana so when we do... we all go crazy! haha

After the show we will drive all night towards Kansas where we will be waiting until Monday for the show! We will take in the sights seeing as how neither of us have ever been to Kansas! (Anyone know of anything cool to see in Kansas for free?)

After the Kansas show we will head out towards Colorado for both Red Rocks shows! We already have tickets for the first nights show because we have been planning and saving for a trip to Colorado for 2 years!

When we found out that Kings of Leon and Band of Horses (our other fav band) were playing red rocks, I about died! haha I have always heard that Red Rocks was one of the best, if not the best, venue in the U.S. and I knew we would have to see them there! We could only afford 1 show so winning the tour pass was great timing!

We would love to say we will be following the Followill clan farther but that is where our funds end! It is really great that we have already seen them and get to see them 6 more times this summer, but we would love to end our tour pass in Las Vegas, seeing as the show is on September 3,which is my birthday and we saw them last year on September 3 in Indy with The Black Keys! btw the keys blew us away and we became instant fans! So, if anyone has actually read this and wants to help out, we would really love to add the show and it would really help out in the making of our Kings of Leon live video! I have been collecting all types of kol video and when the tour is over I am hoping to have the video finished by thanks giving but definitely by Christmas!
Thanks to all again and make sure you follow the blog because we will be adding videos,reviews,setlist of each show as we go! If you are reading this then I know you are as excited as we are! Leave a comment if you would like to meet at a show!

Happy @followillfriday

driving to the back down south video shoot & up the lane

2011-07-04T21:40:00.000-07:00

We really saw some beautiful country scenery when we drove t the set of KOL's bds video shoot! I guess we cannot complain too much about not being able to use the tour pass to see all the shows seeing how we were picked to be extras in the video! We had a great time and look forward to seeing the guys again at Red Rocks on August 31 and september 1. Last year we saw them on sep3 in Indy and that was also my birthday so this year will only be 2 days early! Hope everyone enjoys the footage we took of getting to the beautiful property where the video was taken! The driveway to this place was like 2 miles long and seemed like we were driving up a mountain...well we were actually in the Smokey mountain foothills! haha enjoy

More news on the tour pass we won as 2nd place in the Road to Slane Castle contest

2011-06-16T12:49:00.000-07:00

I am sorry but this really sucks!!! I received an email with more info on the KOL tour pass we won! Sasha from pop2life, who is handling the contest, told me she talked to MTV & RCA and they said I had to send in a list of the shows I planned on attending in advance and if I miss 3 of those shows the pass will be voided!
It is really hard to plan ahead and put shows down that you plan on going to when you don't have the gas money to get to them!
I don't care about having a hotel cause we will sleep in our car and bring food or eat off the dollar menu at McDonalds but we do need gas to get there!
The tickets are not transferable or I would give them away and at least feel good knowing someone was able to enjoy the shows!
I get upset when I see all the rich people in this world and how they could give us the gas money to all the shows and it wouldn't even effect their bank account at all! The greed of some people really pisses me off, like the rich bankers who bankrupted America and ruined the housing industry!
I know there are people who have it a lot worse off than us and that's why I understand people not helping us out!

It is because of them that I cannot use my skills as a carpenter!
It is because of them that I now have to work at Walmart where I only make a little over minimum!
It is because of them that I cannot afford to use this tour pass!
It is because of them that I cannot support my wife (and best friend) like she deserves!
It is because of them that I have to put a damn donation button on my blog and hope someone has been in our shoes before and has a little extra cash to help a nice couple out with their dream!

But it is because of my FATHER I know I will be ok if I don't get to use the tour pass!

Thank you again to the woman who sent us $10 dollars! If nothing else comes out of this, I will have the knowledge that there is others out there who have walked in our shoes and struggled at one time like we are and decided to help us! That means more to me then she will ever know!

Thank you to all 2 of you who read this! haha

Our unbelievable luck 2011 and the new Kings of Leon video for 'back down south'

2011-05-24T08:46:00.000-07:00

I am probably the same as most people when it comes to winning things....it's always someone else!! haha But this year things have turned around for me in a big way! First off I have never been a guy who enters into contests on the internet because I am so skeptical but I decided to enter both of the KOL contests.
When I read that they wanted extras in the 'back down south' video shoot,I decided to enter never thinking I would win a spot! Boy was I wrong! When they sent me the e-mail back, saying I had won a spot in the video shoot I thought it was a joke...boy was I wrong! They didn't give us much notice but things worked out perfect for me because I actually had the next 3 days off from work so we left that night and drove from here in Auburn,IN 8 hours to Bell Buckle, TN and we had the time of our lives! Here is the official video!

Then I entered the #kolcontest on http://superglued.com/ and I decided to do whatever it took to get the points I needed to be number 1 on the points list. Then I realized like we all did that we couldn't get anymore points so there would be about 20 of us in the #1 position! Then I read the rules and realized that I only needed to be in the top 100 in order to have a chance at the grand prize trip to Slane Castle to see KOL! I never in my wildest dreams thought I would win 2nd place (tour pass to all the kol shows in the U.S. for 2011)so when I received the e-mail from Sasha I literally jumped off the couch and jumped around like i was crazy and I found my wife outside on the phone and told her and I think it took a bit for it to sink in for her!
Now I am waiting to see what all the details of the tour pass are and what shows I will actually be able to afford to go to! I forgot to mention that Kings of Leon is my favorite band and they are touring this summer with my other favorite band which is Band of Horses so this was a double win for me! Th only bummer in all of this is that we are poor and it is really going to be hard for us to really use these tickets like they should be used! Part of me wishes that someone who had a little money and the same love for Kings of Leon would have won this instead of me because I know that if they are a KOL fan, then they are probably a really cool person because I have yet to meet a kol fan that wasn't awesome! I don't want this to sound like I am not happy for winning the tour pass because I really am...It's just that I think that if you win something like this you should get on the road and follow the band to almost if not every show they have and the sad fact is we are poor and won't be able to do that! So in a way we won something but won't really be able to use it!
I just wish I was younger, had more money and no job cause that would be great! I don't think work will let me take a KOL sabbatical! haha But if I had the money to pay my bills, gas and food for the summer I would take a leave of absence, borrow my dads camper or R/V and go on the road for the summer like the hippies did when they followed the Grateful Dead! I would have my wife write about our trip because she is really good at writing and I would take video of the whole trip and sell it to the highest bidder! Which gives me an idea! Maybe I will pitch this to the pr company and see what they think! LOL just wishful thinking on my part!
But you never know with the luck I have had it could happen! So if ya know anyone that wants to sponsor us for the trip just let me know!

kings of leon Tulsa,OK April,8 2011

2011-05-15T18:23:00.000-07:00

We drove 17 hours to get to this show so we were hoping to be blown away! Band of Horses opened and since they are another favorite we were really happy to see them as well! Maybe I am being a little hard on them but I really thought they could have stepped it up a little with at least a few more songs! But, if I know the band like I think I do then it probably had nothing to do with them and more so on timing for the show and other things we as fans don't think about! I was really happy with the songs they did play and they even did a cover song of a local artist. Band of Horses have really grown a lot as a band in the last few years and if they keep playing like this they will be headlining arenas in no time! Though I will miss seeing them in the smaller more intimate settings!
Then KOL took the stage and let me tell you the people in the stadium went nuts...all but the 4 snobby girls in front of me! Anyways they really surprised me when they opened with 'Radioactive' the first single off of their new album 'Come Around Sundown'! and that got the crowd into a dancing mood! Then they broke into one of my favorites which was crawl and the place really went nuts ! The new stage rigging and lights were really something to see and the video strips in the back made for a great visual show as well! Then Caled told us all he was going to play some stuff they hadn't played in awhile and they road into the evening with songs like 'pistol of fire and mixed it in with songs off their new album and the mix was really great! I think they laid the songs out to keep everyone in great spirits and their music was dead on. Then they went back stage for a bit (probably for some more booze haha not that they weren't already drinking on stage) and when the crowd was loud enough they came back out and played 'Closer' and we all went crazy! Matt was playing the guitar with his teeth and the new laser lights danced and did circles right next to Caleb and Matthew,that with the video strips and of course the music made for a real moment that one has to experience in order to understand but it was more than great! The sex on fire and then they closed with an old fans favorite 'Black Thumbnails' and when the music was over I could not even hear my wife screaming at me that someone was behind me and I needed to move! LOL all of us were talking about how loud the BOK venue was but we could hardly hear each other! This was a great show and knowing that Nathan (on drums) wasn't even supposed to play for another month (due to a shoulder injury) made me happy that they even had the show!

I have to say this was a long show and I really think they enjoyed themselves! They started the show with 'the end' off their new album 'come around sundown' which is one of my favorites off of CAS. Then they got real with radioactive and then really brought energy to the FEC with 'crawl'!
Then Caleb said they were going to mix it up and they broke into some great songs off their older albums with a mix in of some new stuff off of CAS. When they played 'Fans' my favorite off of 'because of the times' and I was in rockers heaven! After about song number 14 I figured theywould break into 'use somebody' then go off stage for a bit before coming out and finishing with 'sex on fire' but boy was I wrong! They keep playing other songs! I new they would play those so it really suprised me at how many songs they played before they got to sex on fire! By the end they playe both of the new fan favorites and ended with 'Black Thumbnail'! I really think the crowd was really into it and the band feed off of our energy and the night was great! Sadly it was over before we new it but when you are a fan like me it's just over till the next show! see you all next time!

Ok so we started our journey from Auburn,IN and drove 15 hours strait through to Tulsa,OK for the show and then after the show we drove from Tulsa strait through to Memphis,Tenn for the next nights show! They were really just as good as the night before but it was not as loud as the BOK center was in Tulsa! We had side seats in Tulsa so we couldn't see the lights as well but in Memphis we were in the middle so the new stage rigging with the lights was a huge plus in my books! They are really coming into the whole rock stardom thing and I am loving the ride along with them! If you haven't seen them live then you are really missing out on the days best live act! I think most bands are their best in the beginning so don't miss out on seeing them at their best!

This show had 2 opening acts. The whigs opened up with their down home sound and did a great job but when 'The Black Keys' took the stage they commanded the audience and every single person could not help but keep their eyes on what Dan Auerbach was doing on stage! Along with Patrick Carney they both really got everyoe into that great mood to have one hell of a night!
Then the boys of KOL took the stage and I think they saw the level that the keys had brought the crowd to and I don't think they wanted to lose our energy so they showed us all why we were there to see them! Caleb turned it all to new heights with his raspy voice and Matthew with his amazing guitar skills along with the rest of the brothers made this concert my all-time favorite of kol's and all around best one of my life! I cannot put to words the energy in that amphitheater and they keep that energy up even after a few slow down drops into songs like 'Milk', we all were amazed at the great time we had that night! That night is the reason I ended up getting tickets to the Tulsa,OK show that was a 15 hour drive! They only put out a few show dates at first so I did not want to miss out seeing them this year! Of course, they ended up putting out 30 some more dates and even 4 within a few hours of me but I opted for the Red Rocks show that was 20 hours away so that I could see them at the countries best venue! Shows like the sep3, 2010 is why there are people like me that follow bands everywhere! If you want to see one of the best bands out there today then you should take the time to see Kings of Leon live when they come into your area! You won't be disappointed!

This was one great show! Although it was raining the place was packed and everyone was really rocking to the great sounds of kol! Caleb said he was tired of playing in places where people just sat on their smug asses and tha he would play here any day! Then he said "I'm getting drunk"! They played all the songs off of 'only by the night' and a lot of their stuff off of 'because of the times' album. Their lighting made the whole show come together and I can still see the shots of light shooting through the air while they played 'Knocked Up'. they also played my fav. which is 'fans' and that set the rest of the night for me! As always they played a great show and I think it was one of the longer shows I've been to!

When I won the contest to be an extra in the Kings of Leon video for 'Back Down South' I really did not think it would be like it turned out to be! When me and my wife arrived at the address we were given it was a long lane that went strait up, like we were driving to the top of a mountain! Then, at the top, the lane curved around and there were ponds, oak fencing and goats out eating in the beautiful green pastures! I thought we had reached heaven! Then after a long drive that went winding around what felt like a clearing on top of a mountain we arrived at a few buildings with about 50 people standing around! Then behind us there was a limo and the kol tour bus and our hearts skipped a beat!

Then we parked and got out of the car and signed in. Then Caleb came walking toward us and we all had our eyes on him! He passed us and went on down the lane to where they were shooting the video! The crew of the production company told us we were all getting Kodak video/cameras and that we were going to get to keep them and they wanted us all to film and take pictures. They wanted to take a few of our sim cards at the end of the night and copy them so they could add them into the second video which would be the making of back down south video!
Then the production crew started picking different people for different parts of the video. We all ended up down at the shoot and got to hang out with the band for the rest of the day. By the end of the night the boys in the band were all really loaded from drinking shots of Tequila and beer! We all were really frozen by the end of the night but it was all worth it because this was once in a lifetime event! #kolcontest
