I think any backstage reports should be put in the Members Only Area not here in the open threads.

THE CONCERT WAS MAGIC I AM GOING TONIGHT AND ON SUNDAY AND I WISH I HAD TICKETS TO FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS WELL ;D ;D ;D Everyone who is going to a concert will love it. Damien looked absolutely hunkified. We were so close and I did a Neski. I have the water bottle (thank you Womby). I almost had the nice white towel that he used to mop the brow but security wasn't too happy with that idea. I feel awful now after reading Shimmy's story about flash. i used the camera for the first time and I believe I had flash on. Will have to check before tonight. I didn't know how to use the zoom (so I could get just the face) until after the concert and Carlene showed me. Will be on a mission tonight. I don't know how many photos I took and I don't know how to put them up. I had my new digital camera plus my ever faithful film camera and I know I took 19 on that camera alone. (Yes with flash). I will have to buy more film for tonight. I was the 'M' from Ozbrats siggy. - big grin on my face. That was quite appropriate because for those of you who read my poem fro the backstage pass the last lines were I'll be the one big grin on my face. I didn't realize who I was until DD pointed here one out in her post earlier. For those of you missing out.......hang in there and I feel really sorry for you. KAMI...Crushangel found out that he is doing a second performance in Tasmania in a church. Damien didn't know the details so maybe you could follow it up. I have had two and a half hours sleep. I had to get up again at 4 am. Very shortly I have to start the 'get up and get ready for school' nag speech. I can't wait for tonight to meet up with more Damienites. So sorry Braffy - I actually didn't realise it was any of the Damienites with a flash, I thought those flashes were coming from behind us! But yes, you will get a really nice depth of colour without it and you are up front again tonight so have some lovely chances to get some more pics! I can show you what I do before the show if you like to put the flash off. lol about Womby and the water bottle - she did a Neski!

Is there any chance Damien might release a live DVD of the concerts? other tarts? I think you forget you are speaking to a laideeee, Mr Sunshine Oh Lozza you are so sweet! I'm so pleased you enjoyed the recaps! Just catching up on this thread as I go, will no doubt be back again in a moment!

I really did overdo it on the voting....its left me in a bit of a financial mess at the moment (The things I do for this boy ) I think I may just have to treasure every single second of just the one concert

What can I say, that hasn't already been said? We were close enough to rest our cameras and drinks on the stage. They made us move the drinks, though. Damien wisely never came past the speakers, thus avoiding tempting the tarts in the front row to do something silly. We were probably too close for the best sound, but it was great because we could hear his foot tapping to the beat, especially when it was just him and the guitar. His voice was just............. Great meeting up with new faces and seeing others again. I can hardly wait for tonight, but no drinking afterwards this time. Photos are in the other thread. Oh BG wasn't that lovely with the foot tapping? In the quieter acoustic songs, all you could hear was Damien singing, his guitar, and his foot tapping on the stage. The atmospherewas just sooooo beautiful. I loved Come to Me - and a lot of people were singing along in the beginning, even right up the back, but they were all singing softly with Damien's clear voice ringing out - it was stunning. Nessun Dorma absolutely floored me - Damien was supprting himself with the microphone for most of it, really gathering up his strength because you could see him working so hard - and yet the voice just felt so effortless - but powerful. I just don't know how he does it actually, he's amazing. Never seen another singer like him.

The floor was VERY wet when we left it. lol, because someone staggering through the front row in the dark knocked over the ice buckets and wine bottles
