What do you do before a concert

[Liam]

does any one here have some sort of ritual they have a weeks or 2 before a concert like listen to an album each day or some thing like that

[ANJI]

I usually decide what I'm gonna wear and take there. I also listen to some songs which I'm kinda unfamiliar with from the band....

[Isabel]

Well on this tour, my first concert was on the 20th of October so from the end of September until then, I only listened to Green Day. And I practiced Longview to absolute shit in case I got picked

I also figured out where all the best spots were to stand, decided what to bring with me (because I would be going to 2 shows in a row) and talked incessantly about the whole thing in general to anyone who would listen

[Maddy.]

I just sit around and play playstation or something.

Basically I was bouncing up and down all day and telling anyone who would listen I was going to Green Day that night.

[PasalacquaBomb]

Well, I wasn't at a Green Day concert but at a concert of the German Rockband "Die Toten Hosen".

A week before the concert I decided what I'd were then and learned some lyrics (weren't many - I know most of the lyrics ). A day before the concert I thought of request because I was standing very close to the stage. But they didn't hear my suggestion

[Tiffx]

Watch some live videos, get excited but mostly anxious and count down the days.

2 days left by the way, I'm going crazy.

I'm actually so anxious about seeing GD live this time that I've hardly been eating anything.

[Astrid.]

2 weeks is quite long.. I don't do anything different, just getting more and more excited for the actual day.

1 week before the show I'm gonna choose what I want to wear, what kind of attributes I'm taking (camera, breaklights etc.)

1 day before the show; I'm so excited I'll listen to their music all day long

[Tashidge]

If it's like a week to go - I don't listen to the band at all - it gets me too excited. On the day, I listen to nothing but the people I'm going to see.

I ususally plan what I'm gonna wear [decide that it's gonna be hot in there no matter what I wear], how I'm gonna get to the venue and back.

Yeah, I couldn't eat for like 3 weeks beforehand. I just felt uptight all the time

[Mrs. Nobody]

I remember 2 weeks beforehand just absolutely freaking out, bouncing off the walls and basically being in a state of disbelief.

I kind of arranged what where the plans (bcause we had a 3 - which turned out into a 4 - hour drive), what i was going take, wear. I made a longview sign, bought some stupid glasses etc.

Then the day before I was starting to freak out. Was i going to get crushed to death? Was i going to be near the front? And then the plan changed meaning we actually got to the venue at 6:30PM. So yeah, i was pretty nervous as hell and panicky xD

[Opezi]

well i just pump green day music through my ears all the time. and i dont stop thinking about the concert and then i freak out about what im gonna wear and stuff i was excited when i got to go see them i was just so ecstatic because it was hard to believe that i aws actually going to see them and it didnt get real for me until i saw the tour bus because once i did i was over i was like omg damn its green day!

[Tiffx]

I've been contemplating what to wear too.

I made this shirt that says 'stop drop and roll' but it turned out really ugly so I'm not going to wear it lol. I bought a red boa so that's enough craziness.

[BraedonHorbacio]

I usually walk around looking for them. Last time I missed them by 20 minutes.

[Princess Consuela]

Weird but I was listening to as little Green Day as possible before the show I went to. I also wasn't checking out every tour thread like I do now. I don't know why really, I guess I just didn't want to know what to expect in 100%.

After the show I listened as much Green Day as possible. And started reading every tour thread. I was out of my mind for the next two weeks

[Sara.]

I was listening to Green Day all the time and I was a lot on GDC

and I practised jos on guitar every day (they didn't even play that song )

[greendaygal89]

decide what im gunna wear and generaly bounce off the walls with excitment lmao

[minorityxdisturbed]

I think what I'm gonna wear, reading the lyrics everyday and singing when I go for a walk And imaginig that I found them on the street

[drumstick]

well before Green Day....I was thinking about the concert day and night...and I was so excited ..of course I was listening to their records every day...that was nothing unusual

I was planing what I'll wear and stuffs...

ahh memories!

[mr.mcdonlad]

i don't know

cuz i never been to green day concert.

but i think ,i'm going to decide what i'm going to wear.

it always be the first thing that i think about.

haha

[Tre_Gina]

about a month before the gigs i constantly listen to them and my parents were getting annoyed with hpw much I talked about them e.g. i would tell them what happenned in all the gigs before 28/10/09 and the different setlists. I just talk about them constantly to anyone that will listen!

x

[poisonoak]

talk 2 anyone who would and would not listen, make sure the people im going with know the band's songs just in case...and decide what to wear, which always turns out to be tank top and jeans

[Nele]

Wow, I always worry about that way before. So, I already know what I'm going to wear for Wembley.

[Minority_GD]

I learned the lyrics to the songs I don't hear that often.

I practiced Jesus of Suburbia again and again.

I dyed my hair.

I lost weight.

I jumped around hysterically.

I skyped with all those amazing people I would meet at the concerts.

Oh and on the day of the concert: Headbanging to Green Day in the car while my mum drove me to the venue.

[valentinesandcigs]

well first off i find the t shirt that has the bands name on it.

i listen to the band im going to see only so i know all the songs.

i listen to some of the opening bands music too so i know some stuff.

and if its standing i figure out what time i should get there.

and yeah thats about it

[novacaine_kid]

On this tour I downloaded a bunch of live bootlegs to get psyched and just watched videos on youtube. I was pretty busy most days in the week or 2 before the first show in London so that helped time go faster. The night before the gig though I couldn't sleep at all I was like an excited child at christmas. I love that feeling. And I cant wait for next summer to roll on so I can go through it all again.
