10th Anniversary Winners Journey Tour Aug-Dec 16

[thebraff (Braffy)]

Thank you everyone for the wonderful reports. It's good to know that Damien is mixing it up a bit. I would have been disappointed too, not to have heard something from Remember June.

How funny was that at his first concert and getting his 7th album wrong? Doh! It's in the title Damien......Chapter Seven.

It's also great that we have had someone at each of his shows. Obviously this won't last but I'm sure the people who attend any of his shows will have an amazing time.

Thank you once again everyone.

Thanks Sue and Spud - great to hear your takes on the shows you attended. I would have loved to have done the BM but when it was announced we already had our air fares to Newcastle booked.
It never ceases to amaze me how kind Damien is with his meet and greets, he is so patient! I'll keep an eye out for that DVD Spud. If you can't get it at your next show maybe I could pick one up for you. Just let me know.

Oh, cool, thanks, Glawz! If I get a chance to talk to D again I might ask him whether he's planning to sell them in his online store at all first, before you go to all that trouble. But yeah, thanks for offering!

Forgot to mention, I'm pretty sure D played Golden Line at Brass Monkey, and (according to his video on Facebook today) it sounds like he's added Goodnight to the set list since then too. The more RJ the better, I say! Same with C7.

[Glawz]

Yes he did do Golden Line Spud, when I mentioned that he didn't do any RJ at Lizottes he said he did Golden Line at the BM!!
Yes, let me know about the DVD, but if not I'm happy to get it - have a few shows to go to.

Was anyone else at the Bankstown show last night? I was, and it was awesome! Kikki and Eils were there too, so I had a chat to them. It was my first time meeting Kikki. She was there with her friend and they were dancing on stage after the show ended. So cute! Best part of the show.

Pretty good mix of songs, and it was awesome to hear the full band play, because at Brass Monkey it was just Eric, Jess, and Damien. I think the only originals they played were Remember June and Beautiful (unless I'm forgetting something), and normally I would notice the lack of originals and be sad, but it was such a good show that I didn't really mind. I guess now that I think about it, I was sort of expecting to hear Goodnight after Damien mentioned it in the Facebook video on Friday, but they didn't play it. I requested You & I when the band temporarily left the stage, but Damien couldn't remember it. He sang the first few lines and then got stuck, and I called out the next line, so he sang that, and then he couldn't remember the one after, so I called that out too, and after about three lines of me calling out the lyrics and him singing them, he said he obviously couldn't continue that way, and stopped. Then I asked him to skip to the chorus, so he sang a bit of the chorus, and that was it. Oh well. Good enough! But I reckon if they practise it for later shows with the full band, it could sound really good.

After chatting to Damien last night, I think maybe it's actually a CD (not a DVD) that he's going to be selling. But yeah, he still didn't have them. Anyway, all good, because I got to hear him live, which is much better than listening to a CD! If you read this, Damien, thanks for another awesome show!

Thanks for your report Spud, I saw your pic on fb with Kikki, I thought he was selling a dvd too, he said it was of his first or second show in Melbourne at the Palms for the Winners Journey tour, we can only hope

[Glawz]

Thanks Spud, sounds like you had a great night. Thanks for the info on the CD, will keep eyes open for it.
I saw your pic on FB with Kikki, so cute.

Nice one Spud Terrific that you were able to catch another show and also meet up with Eils and Kikki, that was a bonus. Thanks for updating us on the show and the CD

[thebraff (Braffy)]

Lovely report Spud. That would have been a lovely photo with Kikki.

I'm glad you had another great concert,

We had a very lively group at our table. It was great to catch up with Braffy and her long time friend. Sadly, Maggiemay was unable to make it to the club, was very disappointed for her. Carla and her DH had a great time with so many of Carla's special songs and Trilly was also attending. We had a wave from 2Damienfans and we were all able to catch up with each other and Damien at the end of the show. It was great that Damien was promoting his merchandise and it seemed to do well. Damien was very obliging with his fans as usual and it was highly appreciated.

[thebraff (Braffy)]

Thanks Dawn.

It was a fabulous night. We were in a table of 6 which seemed to merge with the table of 6 behind us. We had the front 4 seats (minus MaggieMay and I had the feeling that the other 2 people had liked Damien for a long time but had never seen him in concert before.
With turning their chairs sideways to view the stage they started a conversation with the people behind them, who had turned their chairs also and we pretty much ended up as a table of 12 and every single one had a fabulous time and were showing it with their applause and chair dancing. The man next to me was 'oh yeah-ing' after every song, clapping at the beginning when he heard what the song was and he was a delight to be next to.

Carla and DH had made the trip there as part of her birthday weekend (happy birthday for today Carla ) and I don't know if Damien knew it was or not but as the songs started coming I wa thinking Carla would love that, Carla would love that etc. I thought it was a terrific mix of songs and sounded fabulous with the full band minus Jess who is currently in the US.

It was a surprise to see Trilly who had decided at the last moment to fly over from SA. Well done Trilly.

Also to see 2DamienFans as well. We didn't get to have a long chat after the show so I'm not sure if they were able to do any if their high quality videos. The stage area was very dark though so they may not turn out very well if they did.

Thank you Damien, Eric, Chris, Cesar and Steve for a fantastic show. I'm glad I have 3 more that I will be going to.

In true Damienites fashion we took the 'scenic route' on the way home which didn't help Dawn and her motion sickness. It was terrific though to see Dawn again. Damien is still trying to work out what his gift was haha *roar*

If you don't have a ticket to a show, try and get one. There are still shows left.

[Glawz]

Thank you Dawn and Braffy, of course I knew you'd have a great night. Your reports always make me feel as though I was there, (but unfortunately not) - I guess Ive been to so many shows I can envisage the scene. Gosh, I hope he does some RJ at Palms.

Nicki and I have Ballarat this coming Friday, Sue and her DH and I think Di and and Ali are going to both shows as well, maybe Trilly too, not sure. Then the following night we go to Wangaratta and meet up with the Plugz' - they decided they are not taking Benj this time and he will be at his gran's at Euroa, pity because we had the ticket. Plugz is taking two other couples along, Damien virgins and it will be interesting to hear what they think.

I have another 8 shows to go to, 6 after this weekend. Thinking of giving D a list of the shows I'm going to with a list of my fav songs, hopefully he can sneak one or two of my suggestions over that many shows!

[dmac]

I reckon he'll try to Glawz

[2damienfans]

Yes, what a great night in Dee Why! THANK YOU SO MUCH, DAMIEN & BAND, FOR A FANTASTIC SHOW!!!
Besides, it was a pleasure to meet you again, Braffy and Dawn. Unfortunately it was not possible to have long chats with you. The situation after the show was a little bit hectic because we had to see not to miss Damien and we had to organize to get the big Damien poster.
We have recorded nearly every song, mostly in high quality (in spite of the darkness). Of course, we would like to share the songs with you. The question is which songs would you prefer?
Tonight we will post the video "Faith in Me" to our YouTube channel. Braffy, would you please have a look tomorrow and transfer this video to the DLO website (and perhaps to Damien's Facebook or so)? Many thanks! (More videos will follow in the next days or nights.)
Cheers
2DamienFans

[thebraff (Braffy)]

That's wonderful 2DamienFans. Yes, I will certainly do it. I love Faith In Me. Such a great song. I am time poor at the moment but it will certainly be done ASAP.
