Paradoxically the best time of the LP for me was in 2007. Minutes to midnight just released, summer tour started, only italian date at Heineken Jammin Festival near Venice. I bought tickets as soon as I could and organized a 200 km in car with my two LP fan friends. We were all excited for the first time we could see LP live at one of the greatest concerts in Italy. Arrived in Venice in the afternoon we progress towards this great stage on which various artists were exhibited until the final climax of the evening with the LP concert. The weather was cloudy, a bit 'threatening rain, but we did not give a crap. When My Chemical Romance were near to start their show: the flood. Rain, hail and a very violent wind which has blown down different "tower".
Take a look at the video I made:
even if you don't speak italian, from 2:52 you will see the area after the "hurricane".
Concert: cancelled.
LP: not seen.
Morale: low.
The next months we get to see other LP live moments on TV or on DVD: sure, it's not the same thing.
Although we have not seen them, they still gave us that thrill, that feeling you have when you are getting ready to go to a conert:
just the LP thrill made us forget the cold, the rain, the wind, the delusion,
just the idea of seeing LP in a live show gave us the strenght to take a long trip with a lot of traffic jam,
just being near a LP performance made us happy.
