Look, a non-fic post, holy crap.

Okay. So they may have played more shows overall in the states. However, it is completely unfair that only in London do they apparently let Tomo play his violin. Also unfair that they get "Oblivion"... though, if I had the choice I would take getting to watch Tomo play his first love over hearing my favorite song. Just, sigh, frustration. And

Love to see Tomo play the violin.

And, yeah, they've played far more in the states, but it feels like they've been away forever.

I would seriously buy tickets to watch him play the length of a concert, no question. Granted, I used to play violin and am a classical geek, but still. I think it'd be really amazing to see, in person.

Yeaaaaah. And shows elsewhere keep getting gems like that, or songs that they haven't played in ages or just rarely play. I'm torn between wanting them to do another tour, even if it's a short one, here or working on getting the third album put together.

I think part of it is they got really popular at the tail end of touring in the U.S. So it seems like they've been touring outside the U.S. for ages now. And since they've become more popular, they have a bit more money to do some extras with the live shows.

Although hearing the amount of money Jared personally sinks into the videos, I wouldn't be surprised if he does the same with other things. I think he loves the movies for their own challenge, but he likes the extra money he can use with the band.

Since they have so many songs written, I'd love to see them go into the studio and record. But if we've learned anything, it's that those guys move at their own pace. So whatever is better for them. The waiting may be hard, but the prize is always worth it.
