As part of their 15th anniversary tour, THE USED selected London and Leeds for the two UK cities on the tour and I couldn't have been happier. This is a slightly longer post as I'm collating both nights into one!
NIGHT ONE - THE USED

Opening with 'Maybe Memories' the crowd erupted at the sight of Bert Mccracken and instantly the floor became a mixture of people in sweaty pits while the rest of us bounced and danced away. The opening track soon turned into one of their more well known songs, 'The Taste Of Ink' where Bert was telling everyone to just enjoy themselves and feel like a kid again which then led to a chorus of fans singing along to every single word of the track.

"Be yourself just for you, whatever you want to happen, should and can happen"
- Bert Mccracken
NIGHT TWO - IN LOVE AND DEATH

Such a good weekend with Rachel! |
Particularly off this album my favourite tracks at 'I Caught Fire', 'All That I've Got' and 'Listening' which were all executed in a bouncing, sweaty fashion!
Something else happened this night too - there was a marriage proposal on stage! Now I'm a sucker for anything romantic anyway but this just sent tears streaming down my face. Getting down on one knee in front of a crowd and your favourite band must take some balls but I admire it and it is certainly relationship goals (future husband, please take note!).

Both nights were just completely and utterly incredible and if I could go back to the moment when 'I'm A Fake' was performed I most certainly would. The merch was pretty sweet too - check out my new t-shirt!
THE FUTURE
Now, speaking on both nights the band made it clear that this was not the end of the line for them. They talked a lot about more touring and more importantly...new music! It's not clear when this will be but at least we know they're going to be continuing in the music scene!
