NO DOUBT (1)

No Doubt was amazing, to say the least. It was definitely the concert of my life! When Victoria and I pulled up to the Cricket parking lot, the line was already stretched all the way to the back, bordering Soak City. Ran into Manny’s friend Bianca in line, and she gave us Star Trek lights she got from cereal boxes.

Victoria and I bought matching tour shirts for $35, and a cute tote bag for $25. I’ve got my eye on the cute $85 houndstooth hoodie for next time… AND the suspenders shirt…

After changing into our matching shirts and buying $5 water, we found our seats in the 200’s section, which was a lot closer to the stage than I thought, which was a really nice surprise. The Sounds opened up first. I’d never really listened to them before, but they’re pretty catchy. Definitely need to download their discography.

Paramore was the next opening band, which really got the party started. Victoria & I were jumping and singing along, and LOL @ Victoria pretty much memorizing their entire live CD. I really wish their set was a little bit longer… I definitely need to get tickets for their next show when they come to town.

At last… No Doubt finally made their appearance on stage. The intro was beyond epic, as you can tell from the video:

Their set list was as follows:

Spiderwebs
Hella Good
Bathwater
Underneath It All
Excuse Me Mr.
Ex-Girlfriend
Simple Kind of Life
Guns of Navarone (Instrumental)
Hey Baby
New
Running
End It On This
Don’t Speak
It’s My Life
Just A Girl
Rock Steady
Different People
Sunday Morning

I was so happy when they played End It On This! That’s one of my favorite songs off their Tragic Kingdom CD, and I really didn’t expect them to play it. I danced and sang my lungs out, and I’m really glad there wasn’t anyone monstrously tall in front of me and Victoria. We had a perfect view of the stage, and I managed to get some decent pictures.

I’m beyond stoked for their August 8th show – Victoria’s mom got us pit tickets! Definitely an upgrade from the 200’s. I can’t wait! Seeing No Doubt in concert was literally at the top of my list of things I HAVE to do before I die, and I’m really glad I get to cross that off… twice!
