Concert review

March 11th, 1999

It all started at 7:30, marvelous 3 came out and i started freakin cuz i had been waiting for that moment for ages. They started off with You're so Yesterday and at first no one was standing up except me and my 2 friends right in the first row, after the 1st song more people stood up but not without coaxing from butch. They played an awsome show, and i belive i was the only one who knew all the words cuz no one else was signing along. Well I had Told Jayce in an email that i was gonna be in the front row with a sign that said "marvie 4-ever!" and i held my sign up and right away he knew who i was. It was soooo cool, Butch and Jayce did a whole bunch of that pic throwing stuff which was awsome and Butch was acting all crazy doing Micheal Jackson moves n stuff.

         After Awhile Jayce threw one of his pics to me which was really nice of him and just before they left the stage he came up to me shook my hand and said "thanks for coming!" and butch Finally saw my sign and was pointing at it and saying something i didn't hear. I once again freaked. They played pretty much the whole Album except, "Vampires in Love" and "Let me go" plus they did that Queen song and " Alllways something there to remind me". I was a surprisingly long set for an opening band which was good for me. Then came Collective Soul who put on an amzaing show during "Gel" (i think it was Gel) He called out "Who wants to Dance with me??" Well me and my friends started screaming at the top of our lungs and he grabbed our hand and pulled us on stage and we danced with him! At the end he gave us all kisses and thanked us. When we got to our seats i thought i was gonna die!.Butch came out and sang some cover song with Ed Roland and he was actin crazy again.

         Well After the show we ran back to the busses just in time to catch Jayce before they left and i gave him a big hug and told him it was an awsome show, He signed my cd but couldn't talk cuz they had to leave right away for their next venue. Well as i was walking towads collective soul's busses i saw butch and ran over to him and gave him a hug n stuff and he signed my cd and i told him i wanted him to have my sign i made and he said " Oh! i soo wanted that! thanks soo much I'll put it on the bus!" So then he left and we waited for about 2 hours in the freezing cold to meet collectve soul, which we did. LIZ
