Well guys that's my AB London Review. Hope you enjoy

That was my 5th AB gig...the best ever!!!!

My friend and me catched the bus in Manchester at 1:15 a.m and we arrived to London around 6:40 a.m. I get to my home about 7:30 a.m. and i just slept untill 11:00 a.m. I took a shower, i ate something and i went to pick another friend (Beatriz who just know about AB a month ago) up to her job. Mila, my friend who came with me to Manchester, met us later at The Astoria.
We arrived to The Astoria around 14:00 p.m. I met (we didn't introduced ourselves) "Xscandyman" and "Evenstream" on the queu, i didn't know who they were. I know now because of the board. They are cool guys.
After 20 minutes the tour bus was there, just stopping in Charing Cross Road, next to the venue. All of us that were queuing went straight away to see how the guys left the bus. First and again, Mr. Tremonti, who was surrounded by the fans and chating with them. Me and my friend were in a side cos we didn't want to bother Mark, and he just looking at me like: is she coming or not? He took pictures and signed everything. After him Mr. Flip and Mr. Marshall. Brian came to talk to me, and he is just a cool guy, relax and laid back. He told me they just woke up 15 ago to arrive there. I felt bad to be bothering them with pictures after i was there in Manchester but they were just so nice. My friend Bea had her picture with Brian with my "crappy" cam:

Flip said "Hi" to me and we shaked hands. Again my friend had her picture with Flip.

Next was Tremo, who said to me "Hey!!" shaking my hand with a big smile in his face

Mark asked me where it was the entrance and i replied him pointing with my hand and saying :"Thats the main entrance Mark". He smiled back to me and he made his way to the venue. The same Flip and Brian...Brian made to me the cool finger sig in the distance...

No signal of Myles. We didnt know where he was

We went to the queu again, and after 10 or 15 minutes Flip and Brian came outside coming back inside with a huge cup of coffee from "Starbucks" each.
My friend Mila just get to the venue around 15:30 p.m. And after that Myles, Brian, Flip and Michael with his video camara came outside for a walk around.
We were just so cold, it was better than Manchester anyway. The guys came back inside after 40 minutes and we were just wishing to go inside the venue as well.
The staff from The Astoria opened the doors on time 18:30 p.m and we get first raw between Myles and Brian.
At 19:30 p.m "Hiding with girls" performed....again the same....

And after the AB sound crew get ready the stage for the guys they started with ODR at 20:30 p.m. The crowd was so mad and insane, we were crazy the whole concert. All the Astoria were sold out guys!!! Image a 2.000 people venue capacity just singing and responding just with no control. It was a moment when i looked to Mark and he was looking to all the crowd up on the galleries and in front of him and i could see his eyes were just shining of happiness.
The actual setup list song was:
One Day Remains
Watch Your Words
Shed My Skin
Find the Real
Burn it Down
Metalingus
The End is Here
Broken Wings
Baba O'Riley
Rock and Roll
Down to My Last
In Loving Memory
Crazy Train
Open Your Eyes

Myles said that it was comfirmed that they are gonna play at the Download Festival. He said they were just so happy to be in London again. There were such a conection between the guys and the crowd...just amazing. It was a moment, at the lst 3 songs, when almost we couldnt stand on our feet. It was impossible stand at the first raw...i felt like the Titanic going down to my left hand side.
Just before "In loving memory" the guys dedicated the song to this guy at the abb.net forum who left his girlfriend and baby. The guy was just behind me at my right hand side, cos he screamed "Thank you, thank you". It was just so emotional, i cried like a baby. And at the end Myles jumped to the crowd and shake the hand to this guy. A great thing of Myles.
Mark had his solo moment...and he had this moment when he played "London Bridge is falling down" continued by "The End is Here".
OMG!!! The end of the gig again....OYE was the end and all the crowd helped Myles to sing the "uuuummmmmm" part when Mark said something like: "Come on guys, you have to help Myles. He singed his ass off".
Fantastic End...the guys congratulate each other shaking their shoulders...and i just feel as happy as ever

. Flip just dropped all his drum sticks to the crowd. The same Mark giving all his guitar things (i cant remember the name).
I could see in their faces that they were just happy as me.
We decided wait after the concert behind the venue.
We met the guys again to say them Bye till the next time.
I was talking to Brian for long. After him with Myles...and my friend finally took a picture with him.

We sais bye to Brian and Myles (he is just a sweetheart) with a big hand shake.
Next one was Mr. Phillips who has all my respect and admiration to show to us that he's just a incredible human being with a huge hug that he gave to me and my friend Mila saying "i will see you soon".
All of them were already on the bus except Mr.Tremonti that surprised me with another amazing hug (my whole body shaked and everything). I asked him if they were gonna play someday soon in Spain cos we were Spanish. And he said: "Please, talk to me in Spanish". I said: "Do you speak Spanish Mark?"
He replied: "Un poquito (a bit)". I said: "Did you hear what i screamed to you yesterday at the gig?". He said: "No". I said:"Well, i called you guapo"
And he said again: "Oh yea, thats mean handsome". I said:"Yes, but i didnt say that way. We said guapo as well to say to a person he is an amazing person". He just had a gorgeous smile and looking to my eyes, i just felt i was to collapse

He chated a bit more with him, he seemed dont be in a rish for living us.
After that he made his way with Michael to the bus. The bus was living at the same time than us. We were the last ones to leave with another 4 people we met there. By the way they are Spanish and awesome people. Glad to met them tho.
Well guys sorry cos i know its a very long review. It was just the best moments of my life to be like that with the guys, they made me forget about all my problems and depressions. I have to thanks them to be just so warm and awesome.
P.S. I will post the London pictures maybe tomorrow or Tueday.
Thanks
Love
Gabi
