Ticket Stub Tuesday… Round Thirty:
This was the fifth time that I’ve seen Blink 182 in concert. The band will always be sentimental for me because theirs was the first concert that I ever went to. After the group went on indefinite hiatus in 2005, it was uncertain whether or not they would ever tour again. At the 51st annual Grammy Awards, the trio announced that they would be reforming and embarking on a summer tour. They also announced plans to release their sixth studio album, but to date, no new material has been released by the band.
Going in, I knew it would be one of those no-frills-standard-set-know-the-lyrics-to-every-song kind of show — and I was fine with that. After seeing No Doubt earlier in the summer and having a similar experience, I knew that I would enjoy the show. I went with @Cassiee. The two of us have been Blink 182 fans from the “Flyswatter” era and had seen Blink 182 at Roseland Ballroom back in the day. We had a great time then and this concert was no exception.
Panic! at the Disco and Fall Out Boy opened the show. I’m really not a fan of ether band. Each has a couple of good songs, but I never really got into their music. Blink’s set was loaded with shenanigans, as is standard procedure for a Blink show. You would think that these guys would have mellowed out with age and parenthood. Not so much. They’re still all about the toilet humor and four letter words. Their energy was really very good — they still know how to get the crowd going.
The most amazing part came when drummer, Travis Barker, performed his solo on a suspended, rotating platform. It was truly incredible that he was able to play upside down. The show was definitely a fun summer diversion. I hope that they actually do release a new album and go on tour in support of it.

Nine years ago today, Blink 182 released their first (and only to date) live album, The Mark, Tom and Travis Show: The Enema Strikes Back. The album was recorded nearly a year earlier on November 4, 1999 at The Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. Along with the live tracks, one new song, “Man Overboard” was included on this album and released as a single.

Ticket Stub Tuesday, Round Three:
After a nearly two month hiatus, Ticket Stub Tuesdays has returned! Today’s entry is my third concert, the Pop Disaster Tour, co-headlined by Blink 182 and Green Day. Two of my favorite bands! This was my third consecutive Blink 182 concert. Saves the Day was the opening act. That’s a bargain for $48.30, right? The show was at Jones Beach and I went with Kristen, Raquel and Jon… AKA Fifth Poser. Also in attendance were Cassie and Ellie, although they were much, MUCH closer to the stage. So close, in fact, that at the end of Blink’s set, they were able to snag some of the ping-pong balls that were ejected from the stage into the audience. I was only close enough to grab some of the Green Day confetti.
CONCERT FUN FACT: Mark Hoppus’ bass ended up in Zach’s Bay at the end of the show.
“Adam’s Song” -blink 182
Given the recent death of DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) and the very close friendship he shared with blink 182 drummer, Travis Barker, the lyrics to Adam’s Song take on a new meaning, an almost eerie premonition…
I never thought I’d die alone
I laughed the loudest who’d have known
I traced the cord back to the wall
No wonder it was never plugged in at all
I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine, I didn’t think enough
I’m too depressed, to go on
You’ll be sorry when I’m gone
I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn’t wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over we’d survived
I couldn’t wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
I never thought I’d die alone
Another six months I’ll be unknown
Give all my things to all my friends
You’ll never set foot in my room again
You’ll close it off, board it up
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall
Please tell mom this is not her fault
I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn’t wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over we’d survived
I couldn’t wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
I never conquered, rarely came
Tomorrow holds such better days
Days when I can still feel alive
When I can’t wait to get outside
The world is wide, the time goes by
The tour is over, I’d survived
I can’t wait till I get home
To pass the time in my room alone
