Los Angeles, CA at the Forum - Jan. 18, 2014

[Henley Honey]

I've just read through the threads for all three forums shows. Very interesting collection of observations & views about the shows. I'm not sure what to think - were they great shows, OK shows, or going through the motions shows? !!
The first leg of the HOTE tour last year had great reviews & Borderers were quite up-beat about the shows. It'll be interesting to read more reviews further into the 2014 leg of the tour.


Please someone who was at a show, tell me about Will at the Forum. How did he look? did he smile much? Do you think he's lost weight? Please tell.

Will looked very fit and healthy. He was smiling a lot an d seemed to be having a blast. Both he and michael seemed to have lost weight -- Michael especially.

He had a moustache! And Glenn said something special about him but I can't remember what! Teaching at USC maybe?

Yes - he's teaching now!

Agreed. Plus, maybe it was just me not noticing it before, but it seemed Micheal's placement was more prominent during NKIT.

I noticed it at MSG but not before. Of course, quite frankly, if Glenn is singing NKIT, I'm not looking anywhere but him!

Thanks to all for the Will info. A moustache I can live with, it's the beard I really don't like.
Will was a 'guest lecturer' at the USC a couple of years ago, so I guess he's back there again.
(now why didn't I ever get a lecturer who looked that good? I suppose musicians are just much sexier than accountants )

[Elizasong]

Guess I haven't been in the know. Who is Will and Michael?

[StephUK]

They are keyboard players in the support band.

Yes - he's teaching now!

Maybe Michael looked more prominent 'cos they'd both lost weight and weren't so squashed together behind the keyboards.
(Sorry, is that an uncalled for remark)

Michael sits out front for NKIT. Where Glenn sits for ICTYW, more or less. Glenn gets up and Michael sits down as they are back-to-back.

Sorry, I remember now from the F1 DVD that Michael doesn't sit next to Will for NKIT. I stand corrected VA.

I will do my best to get a good pic of Will on Friday, if I can from my angle!
My strategy for photos, I think, will be to wait sort of until the end - maybe LITFL or something. Make a good first impression on the Black Shirts so they ignore me, then I'll strike, quick and stealthy!

And thanks to Dreamer for the info re: floor level merch/concessions - that's the plan!
