Re: Gavin at the Norva

I am on my way to the airport headed back to Utah.. will try to get in and post the setlist when I land before my connecting flight

BTW it was the best show i have ever seen.. I've seen Gavin live times now.. this one tops it all! WOW!

Re: Gavin at the Norva

we ran into him in the elevator. i just want to say thanks. he was so sweet to me! i saw people taking pictures in our direction. anybody have a pic of the three of us?

My parents told me I was special when I was young. Especially my dad, he told me a lot. Back then I really didn’t know what it meant. Yeah I was different but did that equate to being special? Even as an adult, I see myself as just like anybody else. I feel the same emotions, have a sweet sense of humor etc strive for the same goals as everybody; my body just doesn’t work right. Does that make me special? My answer is no, but to others it’s yes. There are times when I have to remind myself on how I may be perceived by some abled-bodied people.

Would I describe what happened last night as creepy or sweet? Maybe 90% sweet and 10% creepy. As time goes by it’ll probably become 100% sweet.

It wasn’t just a 5-minute chance meeting; it went on the whole show. I’ve met a few rock stars in my life, but nothing like this has ever happened.

I want to say The NorVA is my favorite concert venue. Even before we caught an elevator ride with Gavin! The place just kicks major ass. No wonder Rolling Stone ranked it in their top ten venues. …And yes the reason why I like it doesn’t even register to people, but they’ve got the best ADA ever! (Above the stage)

Brian I got there 30 minutes early. As we were making our way to the elevator, Brian spotted Gavin just ahead of us and pointed him out to me. I put my wheelchair into high gear in hopes of getting on the elevator with him. We made it! Though I thought for sure the doors where going to clamp shut in our faces. But that wouldn’t have been very nice, would it?

‘Hey Gavin!’ I said with a big smile on my face. Immediately I scrambled to find something to say. I didn’t want the time to go by in complete silence. I think I asked him how he liked Norfolk. My brain kept stalling on Gwen, but I wasn’t about to ask him something so personal. He said he just had a delicious fish sandwich over at Kincaid’s. He was smiling and being friendly. Great guy. Then somehow he mentions how cold it was in there. I’m a goofball. I had my jean jacket over my legs. I picked it up and said; ‘Yeah that’s why I have this!’ Hehehe. Stupid. In between our short convo I finally noticed I had to pull up my wheelchair a bit more so the door could close. A tad embarrassing. I felt kind of bad for Brian. He didn’t get to say anything! Gavin did shake Brian’s hand though before we got off the elevator.

I called mom to tell her before the music started. All week, she teased me. ‘Who are you going to see? Who?’ I’d reply back, ‘That guy. The guy from Bush.’ Hehehe. She knew who, she just was being funny. So when I got her on the phone I said, ‘I met that guy! We rode the elevator together!’

As Brian and I were waiting for the music to start, we happy babbled about what had just happened and remembered who else we’ve met. ‘Man! I wish had gotten his autograph, boy! We should’ve had the camera out! I’m so glad I didn’t run over his toes!’ Blah blah, blah. So the first band starts playing and we finally calmed down. They are on the last song. Who comes up behind me?! Gavin! This is where it gets unreal. Brian tells me later that Gavin put his finger to his lips as to say don’t let her know I’m here. He swats down by my feet, and I say real loud ‘HHHEEEEYYYY!’ He smiles and says he really likes this band. I say, ‘Yeah, they’re pretty good.’ He stays swatted down by my feet watching until they are done playing. I’m thinking two things, ‘Please don’t kick him and why oh why don’t I have my camera ready?’ I’m laughing to myself about not kicking him. It’s a CP thing. I’m thinking ‘Holy shit, please God don’t kick him’. I didn’t in case you’re wondering. He gets up to leave. I think he touches my shoulder. I try to say have a good set, but he doesn’t hear me. ‘You’re very pretty.’ Thank you and I smile. Ironic. This was the first concert of the season for us so beforehand I was reminding Brian not to tell drunks hang on me as they sometimes do. They usually tell me I’m beautiful as they’re hanging on me. Now it’s the lead singer is telling me I’m pretty! But he wasn’t high or drunk, rather the opposite. Just then he reminded me of Johnny Depp for some reason. For one, he had this tiny little waist like Johnny probably has and he struck me as this super sensitive artist type guys.

As he was standing by us, a few people recognized him and were taking pictures. Wouldn’t it be wild if I could find a picture of the three of us online?!

I have to be honest now. A few many times during the show Gavin looked up and sang to me. First time it was cool, then I kind of creeped me out. I knew he meant nothing by it though. It’s just awkward having everyone look up at us, probably wondering who the heck is she? Well here I am. Just a regular ol cripple gal he shared an elevator with. Now you know! Hehehehe!

I wished I wasn’t creeped out but I was. Brian was too. Good thing I didn’t have a pimple that day. Believe or not it was the few times of the year when Brian was shaved. I mean people were looking up at us a lot! I wished I could’ve taken it all in for what it was. But I’m used to people ignoring me. People don’t seem to care about issues I struggle with, like disability rights. I’m used to having to ‘scream’ to be heard, and here is this rock star singing to me off and on thru the whole night.

Thank you Gavin. I appreciate it. You’re not weird. You’re just super sweet! I’m just not used to strangers being sweet to me.

I knew my mother would be able to explain it to Brian when we got home. I know why sometimes people act like that towards me, but it’s hard for me to explain. She helped us get a better perspective. He’s on the road everyday, and he finds a face he can identify with. It’s good for him to do that. I still feel like I’m just like everybody else. But really I’m not and I know that too. I’m glad he saw something special that night

What a way to start the 2009 concert season!

My mother had a good idea I thought…..She said I should write to him. So I’m posting this on the chat board and mailing this in to his fan club.
Gavin, I wish I had told you my name.
It’s Ivy. www.ivykennedy.com

Re: Re: Gavin at the Norva

Okay, I just typed up this huge response and it got deleted somehow, so I'll just say -
My daughter is also in a wheelchair from time to time (she has spina bifida) and I'm so glad for you that you got this experience!!! We've had similar things happen when Raegan (my daughter) was wheelchair-bound at a hockey game (Red Wings) they gave her all sorts of cool stuff and fantastic seats. Take it all in. Oh, and he sang to me a couple of times during the concerts I went to and I thought it was so freaking cool. He is just a really sweet guy to his fans!!

Take care,
Vanessa

Re: Gavin at the Norva

Yes he is! Thanks for sharing that.

Ah, sorry. That sucks. I’ve learned my lesson with that…….. Type things on notepad because you never know when the cyber monster will eat what you wrote!

Re: Gavin at the Norva

I think its cool that Gavin actually makes eye contact with his fans in the crowd and lets them know hes watching them sing his songs...

most bands dont do that and it takes away from the whole experience, IMO.

I kind of know what you mean. When we made eye contact, I wasn't creeped out- I was ecstatic... but after the second time, i was like "um... this is a little bit intimidating."

HOWEVER - If Gavin reads this- you can intimidate me by watching me sing ANY TIME. ;)

Re: Gavin at the Norva

Thanks for sharing your amazing experiences.
I was at the Norva last night and had a blast! I've never seen Gavin perform before and I was blown away! I'm so glad I made the decision to go to the show and feel sorry for all of those who missed it.
I also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Rossdale before the show. A friend won backstage passes and I was her guest. He's so handsome and tall! :)
I look forward to seeing him again, soon!

Re: Gavin at the Norva

Wow,blondieblue227,welcome to Gavin's forum and thank you so much for sharing your amazing experience! That was so kind and thoughtful of Gavin-I hope he reads your post so he knows how much it meant to you- an so he knows your name :)

Re: Gavin at the Norva

thx for your note ivy-
i've read it twice and appreciate what you say.
yes,people that come and see me help through the shows.
i lean heavily on my audience.i guess i appreciate you coming out and seeing me so i want to dive into everyone and make the show the best possible.

i kind of pick people that i feel connected/safe to and that seem to be lost in the show too.
i could see you peaking through the railings and i wanted you to feel the music and the words and the whole experience,so you became a focus for me.thx.

i would NEVER want to creep you out-that is the opposite of my intention.
but as you say,memory will shift it to 100% good,as it was intended.
thx for coming to the show- and i too applaud the venue for being disabled friendly.
they were very good to us and it was a cool set up.
we enjoyed the staff plenty.

my recommendation at kincaid's was the pulled pork sandwich,which for me was the best pulled pork sandwich i have ever eaten and i am picky.

so if you're passing..

until we meet again-thx for enjoying the show and coming out-it was great to meet you.

best

Re: Gavin at the Norva

So you weren’t joking about the sandwich. Hehehe cool! Oh it was the pork, not the fish. Ok.

I want to say this again. …Thank you Gavin. I appreciate it. You’re not weird, you’re just super sweet! I’m just not used to strangers being sweet to me. You singing part of the acoustic version of Landslide to me was amazing. I’ll never forget it. So don’t feel bad. I wouldn’t change that night for a million bucks!

I’m ecstatic you wrote back!
Thank you again Gavin.

PS. Before I read your reply, it finally hit me. I couldn’t sleep last night because I finally got it. hahaha! It WAS a special night.

Re: Gavin at the Norva

All I have to say is "WOW". What a story.....I have never known a musician who connects with his fans quite like Gavin. I am blown away by how kind, sweet and thoughtful he is. I wish everyone in the "biz" was like him. It's amazing to me...I didn't think I could adore him anymore until I FINALLY got to see him play live...now I love him and his music even more. SO thanks Gavin..you ROCK.

Re: Gavin at the Norva

I think it is so completely awesome that Gavin responded to your post Ivy!

Further proof that he really does care about staying connected to the fans.

I agree, other musicians should take note and be as cool as him. :)

Before I joined here- I had been a member of the Bush forum so many years ago, but I never really realized how accessible he makes himself online for us.

I mean, the blogs are one thing, but the daily messages on twitter, and coming on the board to post... so awesome of him.

How great is technology? :)

Re: Gavin at the Norva

Good things come from post like that, Gavin. This board has basically died from what it used to be years ago. Granted, the people at times are not all that interesting, but they are here for one reason, and that's to support you and feel a connection to you, and that is something that has lacked for quite some time.

A lot can happen from reaching out in places like this. You have 3-4 people on here that provide links to every radio station and venue associated with you and your tour/singles. You have constant updates from dedicated fans that travel hours in a car to come see you as much as they can, shelling out money they really can't spare because they want to see something they care about.

My point is, most of the crowd here have been your most dedicated fans, and when you point them out individually and show them they are recognized, it goes a long ways for both sides.

Now get your ass to Alabama

Re: Gavin at the Norva

Well said designed.

I know Stephanie! Now days, thanks to technology half the fun of going to concerts is connecting afterwards with people who were there at the show with you. It’s so fun! Like with this show and the last pearl jam show I was at, I’ve found videos, pics that had something to do with me posted by other people. It’s mind blowing!

I told Brian Gavin replied. He said ‘well, I’m happy you two are on the same page now.’ Lol!
It’s so neat to know Gavin knows how I feel about the whole experience now.
Then the phone kept ringing and Brian said, ‘If it’s Gavin, I’m going to have to kick his ass for stalking you!’
Lmao!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin. That’s just a joke, Brian is glad we met you Wednesday.

Re: Gavin at the Norva

i'm here for you and because of you.

the times when i have vacated the area is that the struggle to get out there has been too much to admit- i never stopped working.

.and yes we need to get the forum back to it's full potential and full fun.

it is a jungle out here now and simply amazing to have enough support to make it to this point.
there are some plans after the end of the tour but these are troubled times indeed.
it is a dangerous time.
but exciting.
life on the edge.

for me,i want to record some new songs in july-then come back out on tour in september.momentum is the key-shows and new songs.
a new record asap.

it does blow my mind that despite the success of love remains the same-1.3 million downloads, outside of my core fans,wanderlust is unknown.
it is a reflection of the times and the culture of one song as your ambassador.

as you guys know,wnderlust is a varied and dynamic record-not 12 ballads.
so this tour has been reminding people that we put on incendiary shows.
with a few mellow moments(that we love)

so on and on but many thx for all your support.no matter where we go from here.

Re: Gavin at the Norva

a new album? more touring? oi vey I feel overwhelmed. That's amazing news, AMAZING.

We've all seem to have been here from the beginning and we will not be going anywhere because we know you will not be going anywhere. It's so touching and emotional how you have built these "relationships" with us, you can only imagine how we all feel. I am completely captivated by your words and look forward to them all the time, it' inspirational at times and I have never felt connected to any other artists words and music like I have with yours (Bush and Institute included of course).
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Re: Gavin at the Norva

A new album! THAT IS GREAT NEWS! I have to say...I love ALL of Wanderlust...I put it in and let it all play from beginning to end. Not every artist has that effect on me! :) Hoping to see you play again soon.

Re: Gavin at the Norva

I cant remember where I had read something like that, maybe it was on amazon I am not sure but I remember they were definitely talking about selling out and going soft which was irritating because they are basing this all off of LRTS, even though this song is a beautiful song just because it was on a trailer and is being played on pop radio they have to bash it, people always have something negative to say and that's annoying, never giving a truly influential talented artist a chance.

Re: Gavin at the Norva

Wow,much thanks yet again for posting,Gavin. It is greatly and truly appreciated. We all hope too that everyone realizes WANDERlust's full potential beyond the singles;again,though,it's awesome to know about This Is Happiness being the newest song to be released to radio. Thank you again for your thoughtful posts.

Re: Gavin at the Norva

New music is so very exciting...

makes the wait til after september before you come around again a little easier to deal with.

I'm willing to bet that if you keep posting, the board will become way more active.

I think it's a shame that WL is being judged as soft because of LRTS... do ppl not remember that Gavin is a ROCK star??? He can still kick ass, don't believe me? watch him perform Machinehead or Everything Zen.

Happiness should help. as long as the radio stations are on board. Please believe I am going to be nagging the crap out of my friend at the 103.1 the Buzz in FL to make sure they play it. even though i'm not there, they need to show the love.

Re: Gavin at the Norva

A true artist tries anything. A true artist does not stay in the box. I suppose it can be a bit scary pushing yourself to different levels. But that’s what it’s all about huh.

Id also like to add that a lot of people do not view "WL" as a rock record, at all. Everyone I speak to regarding the record all think Gavin is going soft, and this & that. They think he is simply selling out playing adult contemporary pop rock to sell records. I always have to defend Gavin and the record and tell them to give the record a shot, and maybe, just maybe, your opinion might change.

Most opinions do change, esp the ones who decide to go check out his live show. A few of my friends went to the NYC show and came back loving the new material & were shocked at how good the band was. My one friend said he was looking more forward to drinking and smoking outside than to hearing "Love Remains The Same" and he walked away with the CD.

Funny how that works.

Re: Gavin at the Norva

Gavin, do you ever miss playing songs like 'Straight No Chaser' or 'Bonedriven'? I ask those two in particular because I think a lot of fans would not mind either one replacing 'Glycerine' a few times here and there. I know that song is considered the track that pretty much appeals to everyone, but even you have to get tired of playing it every night, right? Or maybe not.

Whatever the case, when and if you do actually get back together with BUSH for a record, your first concert should be a three-hour set where you play tons of material you haven't in years. I would gladly pay whatever it costs to see that concert and I think everyone here would too.

Sorry guys for straying from the topic. I just didn't want to start another 'GAVIN' thread that was basically me just asking a question that might never get read. The guy has a busy life.

Re: Gavin at the Norva

Wow Ivy that's an amazing story, and one I'm sure you'll remember forever :) Gavin is definitely one of the best musicians of our time and to be as sweet and down to earth as he is, is simply amazing. I got to meet him, but nothing like you lol. I'm very happy that you got that experience.

New music?? More tour dates?? Things just keep getting better!! Hopefully Gavin can get back on tour this fall, no matter how many times you see him it's just never enough lol.

Re: Gavin at the Norva

I'm a bit late to the party on this one. But Ivy, that's an amazing story! I got all excited/butterflies in my stomach just reading it and I wasn't even there! I've never met him in person yet (yet!), but he seems so incredibly nice. I did get some great eye contact at the Montreal show and sang the chorus of The People That We Love with him. All I could think was Oh dear God, don't mess up the lyrics, don't you dare look away, haha. He blew me a kiss afterward. (I think I've told this story 328093284039 times to anyone who will listen) Just that small moment meant so much to me so I can't even imagine what your experience was like.

I think the amazing thing about Gavin and Bush for that matter (I never saw Institute live but I'm sure it goes for Institute, too) is that the concerts feel like a collaboration between the band and the fans. Like an energy exchange or pool or something that just builds and builds. And Gavin does an incredible job of connecting with people. I've been to concerts where the band just feels completely disconnected from the audience. The music sounds good, but there's no fire. Or they're wrapped up in their own stage/clothes/look. Or worse, I've seen a couple of performers get uppity at the audience--to the point of threatening to leave--for singing along. Yeah. I know we're not professionals but, sheesh, that's part of the fun.

Anyway, I'm being wordy. But that's really great about your experience!

And Gavin, I'm stoked for your next album and tour. Going to your show really really reignited a fire for me and I can't wait to hear the next album. I'm ready for a harder sound and I think we're all ready to continue growing with you musically. Thanks for all of it.

Re: Gavin at the Norva

Erin – don’t stop telling your story. It won’t ever be boring! Who in the world asked the crowd to stop singing? Gah.

I think Gavin has great energy on stage. Any performer willing to put out that energy is tops in my book. And really it goes both ways… If the audience feels the performer is giving their all, then they’ll give it back to the performer.
I know Gwen is real energetic on stage also. ….I wonder if her and Gavin have shared any tips on the technique? Hehehe

Thank you to all that have made comments on my post. Glad you enjoyed it!
