I guess it's time to write about it
Today two weeks ago I was in Bologna, Italy at the I-Day Festival 2010.
It was with no doubt the best day of my life, not only because I was going to see Sum 41 but also because I was seeing Simple Plan and Blink-182 too, that was just awesome, 3 of my favourite bands playing the same day?? I couldn't miss that!
The night of the 4th september, it was impossible to me to get asleep, I was just way too exited, I had to take the plane to Bologna at 9:30am and I'd be there by 11:30am, and this is how it was, I arrived to Bologna at 11:30am, and by 14:00/2pm I was in the arena, there were many people, the 1st band didn't start until 15:00/3pm more or least so I could get into all the people easily.
So the first band to play was The Leeches an Italian band I had never heard about, it was a little boring because I couldn't meet the people I was supposed to go with to the concert, my phone didn't work in Italy, dunno why, although it worked with Diki's phone^^
The second band to play was All Time Low, I liked this band's songs although I had never heard anything from them, I know they're friends with Evan but whatever. It was also boring as I didn't know the songs and once again I was alone in an "Italian World", xD
The third band to play was SIMPLE PLAN, I was really exited to see them, before Simple Plan started I went to a place where you could see the musicians going to the stage, and here man, I saw first Sebastien from Simple Plan and THEN Stevo, he was wearing that red t-shirt, and man he was looking at me because I was the only one there, in that moment I was like paralysed, I was like saying to me, "that is Stevo and he's looking at you" I feel now really stupid by not telling him anyhthing, or just scream Hey Stevo!!. I didn't do anythig, I just looked at him and he looked at me, xD I didn't want to scream either because people would come like crazy to where I was.
I could take a photo when that paralysis thing stopped, haha
I saw all the Simple Plan guys go to the stage, here is Pierre and Jeff before they started:
When I saw everything was ready I got into the people again, there I knew 2 guys, so here with Simple Plan is when I started to have fun, Simple Plan started and I loved their performance
When Simple Plan finished I went to the place where I had been before, I wanted to see the Sum 41 guys go to the stage, this time there were more people there, the girl in front of me said in italian that she had seen Stevo, no one believed her, I did cause I knew he was over thre all the time. Some minutes later Mark Hoppus from Blink-182 appeared, everyone started screaming like crazy and telling him to come, everyone came screaming, Mark came, he was giving away free stickers, unfortunately I didn't get any but it's ok, I had seen him
Here is my arm, asking and getting nothing, xD
This time I didn't see Sum 41 going to the stage, maybe because they went there when Mark was giving away the free stickers, so no one noticed them. I thought it was time to go again into the crowd, I wanted to be in first row!
They first played 1-Intro (Chuck), I thought they were going to play No Reason, when they Intro finished, they stopped, haha, I heard some people singing No Reason^^
This is a video I recorded:
After the intro they played 2- The Hell Song, then 3- We're All To Blame.
Another video I recorded:
Then they played 4- Walking Disaster:
5- My Direction:
6- In Too Deep (I started to go deepeer)
7- Motivation (Here I was almost in first row)
I can't remember what was this, it might be 88:
8- Master Of Puppets (it was one of the songs I enjoyed the most after The Hell Song and We're All To Blame)
9- King Of Contradiction (at first I didn't recognize this song, I had never heard it live, but then I heard the chorus and I noticed it was KOC, xD
10 - Underclass Hero:
11 - Over My Head (Better Off Dead):
After Over My Head they played 12- Welcome To Hell and 13- Tom sang a song I didn't know, but it's supposed to be called "Paint In Black".
14- Still Waiting:
While they were playing Still Waiting I started to feel sick, I had a headache, I was thirsty, it was really hot, because I was almost in first row, so you couldn't even move, I had been 24 hours with no sleeping, no eating and almost no drinking, I just took 2 bottles there for the whole day, then I had to go out and breath, go for water which was all finished, so I missed the last Sum 41 songs.
I took some Sum 41 photos although they're all pretty bad in special the ones I took when I was in front of them:
This was the setlist of the songs they played, so it seems I didn't miss much:
After Sum 41, Blink-182 played, but I just saw the first song: Feeling This,
I spent more than a half Blink-182 perform looking for water, when I found it I just went to the screen and sat in front of it, when I was there, David Desrosiers from Simple Plan touched me, I had no idea it was him because it was around 11:30pm/12am and it was dark, when I noticed it was him, it was too late, anyway he touched me, xd
When I was feeling better I got into the crowd again, I saw Travis' solo and saw the last songs they played, Carousel, Dammit and another one I hadn't heard^^kinda stupid.
I got to the hotel by 2am, feeling really sick, anyway it was the best day of my life
I recorded many more videos so if you want to see them just go to my youtube page, they're all up in there :
