Penn State College (Behrend College)
Review by: Sarah
Well guys I think I finally able to type, walk and talk after an AMAZING show! The guys played at a place called Behrend (Penn State) at the Erie Hall. I would just like to say whoever said that place could hold a 1000 people was apparently smoking some crack at the time...lol....Tickets were sold to the students over the first 5 days..they soldout in 2...I am not a student so I was left ticketless...This is where my GOO Will came in..I sat by the radio for 36 hrs..sleeping on the floor with a cell phone and a normal phone line..trying to win tickets..Finally at 7 pm on sunday night I won them for the love of god, I have been sick for a really long time and my mom was so happy to see that smile on my face..she said she would have paid a thousand dollars to see it again..Needless to say i was pumped..So i made my big sign..tthat said "Goo's Wanna Get Married Or Runaway", but i never ended up taking it with me because i knew that it would look totally ridicuulous..although i wish i would have..The gates were opening at 7:00 and we didnt get there until 10 after cuz it was further out of the way than we thought, but if I had it my way i would have been there at 3 in the afternoon waiting to be upfront..While i was standing in line to get in kids were selling mixed Candy for a dollar i bought it and then my friend was like "sarah dont eat it" so after realizing it was drug infested candy we made our way in..i had my camera down my shirt but no one would have noticed, evenif i was carrying it. I was not too far from the stage but far enough to be "far". The kid in front of me and his GF were 6'2 and 6'4 and im like Great..lol So while standing behind the leaning tower of pisa Athaneum came on...I really liked them and enjoyed them...The bass player was extremely stoned though..but what can ya say? They played a few songs..got me really wound up cuz i have their cd...and they did a beatles cover too...Then about 30 minutes later it seemed like forever Goos came out...I thoght i was going to passout...They looked amazing so for all you people wanting to know what they looked like this is what i remember...Nathan had on a black kind of cowboy shirt...and Robby this blue shortsleve argyleish button down..and then Johhny the man..had on a green beater..all tatoos shining brightly...and black leather pants...They started off with Dizzy..which went directly into Long Way Down..then Johnny said Hi and started talking to us about school after he u know said they were from Buffalo..hes like "I swear this conversation goes on in every dorm,,,your smoking from the bong* he starts making all this noise..lol* and then u say "What if the world is just like a fucking tear drop man?" and everyone laughed and he talks about how much you always hate your roomate...and then he was saying how school fucking sucked..because it should be a right not a privelage..and this went on for about 7 minutes cuz like he said he kept getting off track..it was a whole standup routine..it was funny...he said they dangle things like the loans in front of you like a piece of meat..or a fucking steak...He used the word fuck a million times and then at one point he said frigen because he wanted to "start to clean his language up"//it was really cute....He stopped and yelled at a few people and was like "I got the fucking mike u can scream all u want when im done ill give it to you"..by then my pissed offness aboutt all the people that shoved their way in front of me wore off ..and i was screaming and jumping up and down..at one point he was talking about something and was like "who cares fuck you" and some obnoxious girl yelled out "fuck me" and hes like "allright come on up here...I maean come one people what do all u girls think im gonna say to that? Its like guys they dont care who they fuck or if they like the person they just fuck them to fuck them"..He told the "Name story" telling us at the begining "Fuck its that song *plays the chords* and when he talked about the letter he read...Dear Fagget and then said "Man i thought..my father really has to stop writing me letter" Everyone laughed ..then he repeated Dear faggot...and said "thats my favorite part...."...Enough about all the talk..I was stupid and I forgot my pen and paper but i know they played these songs..for sure...
DIZZY, LONG WAY DOWN, NAKED, FLAT TOP NAME, IRIS, SLIDE,BROADWAY, JANUARY FRIEND, BLACK BALLOON, BULLETPROOF, FALLING DOWN, THERE YOU ARE, AMIGONE, HATE THIS PLACE and All Eyes on me...
It was great! They sounded perfect the whole time! ...Robby and Johnny I dont think they ever stopped smiling...Johnny kept running across the stage smiling...and picking up the thongs..going "Im a little bigger than this"..LOL...I was tremendously annoyed with the 3 girls in front of me that shoved their way in because they knew not one song besides Slide and Iris... I cried for Slide, Name, and Iris...i was just so overwhelmed and happy to be there...I got Johnny's Guitar Pic and flipped out :)...I took about 7 pictures through the show and i doubt they will turnout but I tried..I didnt have a chance to meet the band but being there was like Heaven on Earth..Thank you for reading...
With Love~ Sarah (the girl with the cat glasses)..meow :)
