So do I, it's so good. Right now I love Glass Smash best but it keeps changing.
The DVD's amazing, isn't it?

I'm so excited for tomorrow!

Oh my god, it's amazing.
I love it, it's so fucking hilarious. xD
I'm thankful for the captions, though.

I think my favourite's either 'Realisation' or 'One Off Pretender'.

Oh my god, your concert is tomorrow?!
Eek, I hope you have tons of fun.

I just watched it again with my mum. She thinks they're insane.
I would imagine the subtitles are going to be very handy for a lot of people. Amazingly I understood most of it.
Their tour manager must have like the most stressful job ever.

Yeah, it came around so quickly.
I really hope we do, and that my friend enjoys it too.
I'll try and take some good pictures. =D

xDD I sent my Mum a video of this yesterday:

She said it was alright.
She likes The View a bit more than The Horrors.
Actually, she hasn't even told my Dad yet that he's got to take me. xD

Ooh, pictures would be good.
I doubt your friend will be able to not enjoy it, I bet they're really good live.

I don't know anything about the Horrors, but I hope that goes well with your Dad.
My mum loves the View. She's been making vague threats towards Ceit having an "accident" for months now. xD
Yeah, I'm sure she'll enjoy it, just so long as she doen't get us killed.

I like your signature, I was going to change mine to those lyrics last night but I just the ones from 'Realisation' xD

The Horrors are good, they were on the NME tour with The View.
The tour diaries with them together are funny.

I think my favourite part of the dvd is near the end of it when they just start dancing around with paint on themselves.
I nearly died at that.

I love those lyrics. Realisations great too though.
They're like "This is the most Scottish song we've ever written, it's about being skint" Cheers guys. xD
I loved that bit too. I did feel bad for Owen's wife though.

I was gonna show the DVD to my friend to prepare her for tomorrow but she's from Stornoway, so I didn't think she'd appreciate their comments xD

I want you to tell me if they're really good live as they seem. (:

They are! It was amazing Lanee. I wish you could have been there too.
We were in the back row of the whole of the place but we could see them really well.
I got a few photos but they didn't work out, we were too far away.
I'll upload them anyway when I get home though. I've got a review from my Grans paper to show you too.
I couldn't understand a word they said, but they were soo good. They played like 20 songs. Everyone was so hyped up, it was fab.
The Brogues were playing too, but I didn't realise it was them.
I should have twigged with Ronnie's hair, but I didn't. I think I thought he was the singer.

Eek, I'm all happy for you.
20 songs?! That's so long, that's awesome.
Did they play Street Lights?

No they didn't. I was kind of sad, but not really because it was great anyway.
They played "I've Just Seen A Face" though, which was awesome. And "Gran's For Tea" because Kieren's Gran was there. And "Covers" with the keyboardist singing Paolo's part. Then Kyle and Pete had a bit of an argument until Kyle sang "You're my best friend" which was nice.
Then Kyle threw a strop because security wouldn't let the crowd sing "Same Jeans" with the microphone, so he said that was it from them. But Pete got us all the cheer "The View are on fire" so eventually he gave in and said "Alright, we're on fire" =D
After that the sound wasn't great though. It was fine for "Superstar Tradesman" and "Shock Horror" because we were all singing along, but "Give Back The Sun" was pretty bad because know one knew the words. Maybe it was better further down, but we couldn't hear anything.
It was fun being up high because we could see the whole stage. Kyle does this really cute sort of jig thing when he's really into the music. He sort of bobs up and down, and hops from one leg to the other.
Also, I don't know if there's something in the water up there, or if it was a tribute to Kyle, but soo many boys had like masses of curls. I couldn't believe it. It was awesome though.

This is a rough setlist:
Glass Smash
5 Rebbeccas
Wasted Little Djs
Temptation Dice
The Don
Skag Trendy
One Off Pretender
Gran's For Tea
Wasteland
Typical Time 2
I've Just Seen A Face
Face For The Radio
Covers
Realisation
Jimmy's Crazy Conspiracy
Comin' Down
Same Jeans
Give Back The Sun
Superstar Tradesman
Shock Horror.

The review is the same one from the blog.
These are the best of me and Ceit's pictures and videos but they're pretty bad.
Caird Hall before it started. That how far we were from the stage. =D
You can vaguely make out Kieren in the white shirt
That is Kyle
Some videos, the pictures awful, but the sounds alright.
A snippet of "Realisation". Really blurry, the white and red blob is Kieren.
"Shock Horror"
"Same Jeans" Take one. That's when all the drama happened, when the singing stops

Sorry this is all pretty useless. I just want to tell someone about it.
I got a Ryan McPhail t-shirt.

I read about that drama on the blog!
It's cool that you were there to witness it. xD I can't believe Kyle said he wouldn't play anymore after that.
Thank God he still played, though.
Aww, I want to witness this little jig that he does. That sounds so cute.

UGH. I've got to get myself to Dundee. I love curly hair on guys. xD
It's not faaaair.
Maybe you could ship me some of that water to throw on some of the guys I know, see if they wake up looking like Kyle. ;D

The pictures are a wee bit blurry, but I can see the Kyle & Kieren. (:
The videos are good, though, I can hear it perfectly.
Annnnd, that shirt is completely awesome.
I want to order one online, but I'm waiting because Mom's just bought me the cd. xD

And none of that was useless! I love The View, and I'm happy you've told me all of the details. xD
Srsly. You've got me made all excited now, just incase I ever get to see them.

I didn't really know what was going on, I couldn't understand what he was saying.
Yeah, I don't know what would have happened if he'd really stopped. There would have been a riot.

I love the curly hair too. My best friend's got really nice curly hair, but I'd never like him that way. Ha, I wonder if that would work. xD

I loved that shirt too. I saw it online before we went, and I couldn't find the merch stand, so we had to search everywhere. But I got it.

I'm glad you liked my rambling xD
I really hope you get to see them soon. You'll love it.

You've got a best friend with nice curly hair, eh? ;D
I've got a friend that kind of looks like Keiren, maybe we could trade.

Oh, I forgot to ask, did your friend like the concert?

Bah, there hasn't been any news of the 'North America' tour yet.
I'm hoping they won't come until the summer, but I doubt it.

Lol. Tempting. xD

Yeah, she actually really enjoyed it. She loves them now, although she thinks they're better live, and she loves Shock Horror and thinks Kyle's adorable. =D

You never know. It might take ages to get it all organised, with visas and things.

Aw, everybody thinks Kyle's adorable. x]
Because he is, of course.
At least now you'll have a friend to go to their next show with you!

I hope so. (:

I just read an interview on their blog about Kyle getting a few dislocated joints from tossing himself into a crowd of fans. xD
Poor Kyle.

Aww the poor thing.
I suppose that had to happen eventually though.
