The songs here would all have benefited from having some backup musicians rather than just a recording of the instrumentals, but even so its impressive how wired the audience became through the performance (even though I too noticed the awkward shuffling, particularly at the start). I'd have quite liked to go to the Expo even if it was just for this, but I could never justify travelling to the States for what is still qoing to be quite a small, budget event.

I wasn't there, but I sang and danced along anyway. :p Thanks for the great show, Gav!

Fucking brilliant performance, Gav. Wish I could have gone to the Expo.

Glad you played New Black Gold, I hoped you would. Love that song, it's still 1st in my 'top 25 most played' playlist on iTunes.

EDIT: It Sickens me that you twats raised fucking cell phones to the live singing that Gav preformed.

Shame on all you silly children. Grow he fuck up, and embrace fire. It's this thing that kinda can make you human, and all. Raising techno shit fucks the whole mood and the whole song. Not that Gav will call you out on it... just sayin doods./
Not sure if serious.
I don't think I'm ever serious. If I was, it would be kinda lame ; )

(Was 'twats' a bit harsh?)

OT: Seriously tho, no one yelled FREEBIRD!

NOBODY!!!!
I yelled FREEBIRD near the end, but I haven't watched the video so I don't know if you can actually hear me. I yelled it before his last song I believe.

EDIT: Found it, that's me yelling, "FREEBIRD!" at 55:18 right after he said he ran out of songs and asks what we want to hear.

Yeah, her Shepard dance will forever be ingrained into my brain.

Sorry Susan DX
Eh, I don't mind. Normally, when I'm out and representing The Escapist, I'm super careful about not doing anything embarrassing or that could be misconstrued, but I was thrilled that we'd managed to pull off something that could've been a disaster, and celebrated with Kara by dancing like a doofus. I can live with that. :)

It's also entirely possible that I'd had more than my fair share of rum.

To be fair, I'd have been disappointed if you didn't do the Shepard dance that night :D

Damnit I always get to these threads late :(
The concert was absolutely incredible. It was the best one I've been to :)
My only regret was that I chickened out when Gav asked who knew Mining all day long. Oh well a dream deferred :(

As awesome as the video is, it doesn't begin to do the energy of that room justice. Such an incredible night!
I was singing along the whole time and dancing like crazy! And I can't dance and hate doing it so getting me to freak out like that is saying something.

[sub][sub][sub]I was the dude with the blue backpack and FFDP shirt next to you. I saw your dancing >:)[/sub][/sub][/sub]

I've had your Joker song, Bastion song and Shepherd song stuck in my head since Expo. Your hooks and melodies are so freaking catchy!

Your not the only one! I spent all day at work singing Little Sister. I wasn't even a big fan of that song before the Expo! :D

Well, now I gotta buy Nord Mead and a number of other songs. I hope you're proud of yourself escapistmagazine.com
[hr]So here's the deal, I haven't played Arkham Asylum yet, but hope to at some point. Are there spoilers in that Joker song?

I wish I've been there, but alas, work never stops in science. I can tell that the show was better than the video shows.

I have to say this though. I think I do love my fellow countrymen for consistently being the most awesome crowds. You guys should come to some concerts in Mexico and experience a truly energizing crowd. It can go completely wild even with just the amount of people I saw in that room, and the rocking songs. It just may rub on you anglosaxons. ;-)

And yes, I'm jealous I wasn't there.

That was absolutely amazing. Words don't do it justice.

Was so hoping to hear a bit of Gordon Freeman (pun not intended?), but it was absolutely phenomenal to watch that - everyone was so into it and your voice is amazing Gav.

The atmosphere must've been great, but I don't think the Pogo is the appropriate dance for Nord Mead. I mean, the Pogo is a punk rock dance, and Nord Mead isn't that harsh a song; it's still rock/metal, but not punk.

As much as I like his music, those lights make me glad I wasn't there. They look like a recipe for a seizure.
