Hope this hasn't been posted before.

Sara's so cool, she doesnt need to breath heavily even if she has the asthma.

The best interview I've read lately...very insightful.

I love Tegan's interviews! I wish she did more of them.

Does anyone know anything about Astronautalis, the guy who's been supporting the twins this tour?

I am really trying to find the name of the last song he played at London. It had a really R'n'B sounding drum beat. I loved it.

did they not even have an interviewer? they seem like they interviewed themselves along with the whole helicopter flying over them.

"it's boring... it's pretty awesome" <-- my favorite quote.

I know at least one person wanted to see some pictures because she couldn't make the show; so I've uploaded them to Flickr. The image quality isn't great because the light was horrible. However, I have a couple of good ones, and I didn't purposefully take a lot of Sara, I was just on her side of the stage.

Also; I took a few videos - the sound quality is bad because I was right on the speaker and the bass was horrible. But they are watch-able, if anyone is interested.

I did film the entire show, but I won't upload all the videos, 'cause there's cuts through a couple of songs/ banters where I had to switch memory cards, and it's taking FOREVER to upload them anyway. (And also some randomer next to me started talking to me during one part saying how the bassist looked like Chris Garver and totally screwed over the audio.)

Here's the three I have managed to Youtube so far:


Speak Slow / Diarreah cramps banter / Hell:



On Directing:



Attractiveness of the band members banter / Tegan screws up Back In Your Head intro:



Gute nacht!

I know this isn't exactly T&S but we all love the band anyway so i felt the need to share. I've never seen shaun pose (as in POSE) before. it's amusing. is that johnny? the shades are giving me a hard time. haha.

---edited---

okay, i think i know what's going on here. it's not really a band thing. it's just a photoshoot that includes johnny and shaun.

hey everyone!
well this is new to me, i've never seen these videos before... they're from a guy named Ben Sigston (who i haven't heard about) and in these videos ted and shaun are playing with him in the media club, well i just thought this was interesting and i also liked his music...

Right. Just wow. It was so so good, and I apologise for the following self-indulgent squee I'm about to go on. ;D

First off, here's the set list if anyone is interested:

( Set List )

This was my first T&S gig and it was really something special. You can watch as many YouTube videos as you like, but it's nothing compared to actually seeing them live. I was really blown away. Musically, they were tight and I don't think there were any mistakes last night - except when Tegan stopped near the end of Night Watch to break up a fight; and when some guy kept shouting stuff at her as she was trying to start Call It Off. So, I'd say they were near perfect musically.

After reading big_trend 's thoughts on the Shepard's Bush and Manchester gigs, I was a little bit worried about how on form they would be in terms of banter and anecdotes, but I wasn't disappointed. Tegan was hilarious, as I'd expected she would be, and I felt really bad for Sara at one point cos of some dipstick who kept shouting "BALLS!" when she was trying to talk. (Arsehole .... /rage.) It was to the point where Tegan actually told him off. After that, Sara didn't seem as open to sharing and talking as much as I'd hoped she would. She just seemed quite shy. However, I was right in front of her on the barrier, so I don't mind. At least I could see her.

In terms of what songs they played, ( in case people don't want to see set lists yet )

I suppose the only really big gripe I have is the crowd. In terms of crowd atmosphere, that has to be one of the worst gigs I've been too. I know I took a few pictures and videos, but it was like everyone was just there to stand, take photos and oogle a bit, and sing. There was no movement in the faster songs, I was thinking the whole time, "Why is there no dancing?!" I've been to loads of gigs, but never a T&S before last night, so I had no idea what the crowd would be like, but I really thought there would be a bit more energy. /rant over.

Anyway, despite those little niggles, it was a really good gig. The two of them were everything I hoped, and it's true, they really are prettier in the flesh. (: I still can't get over how little they are.

How did everyone else find last night?!

EDIT: Tegan playing Northshore - is that not the cutest thing ever?! I loved how excited and into the song she got. (:

I don't know how many people here rely heavily on wojo4hitz/Jaime's videos for their daily T&S fix, but i definitely do. Her channel's freaking bookmarked on my computer. Honestly, nothing comes close to the picture/audio quality of her videos. Not to mention her EXTENSIVE T&S archive. One down-side of European tours is that she can't afford to go all the way to places outside the US or Canada.

So here's my request: can someone tell me if they've found acceptable videos of the ongoing European shows?

Thanks!
