I'm also hearing a lot o "Check, 1, 2, yo!" hahaha


she got into soundcheck? or could she hear from outside?


Because of the way the stage was set, anyone could have gotten in. No one wanted to though... but Erin! :) Lucky girl sat right in front watching them. She called me right after and I was pretty stoked for her.

If I may spoil a few things before her pictures are out (they might already be)... everyone looked and sounded good... but, Matt especially because he did not wear his sunglasses for the whole show.

Another Rooney Connection mission ACCOMPLISHED!


thats so cool! erin, i am jealous!

Erin was THERE for the soundcheck then. She said most people were out in the streets and not paying much attention to them.


Yeah, there was soundcheck, and it was outdoors. No one was paying attention except for me and about 4 drunk old men. It was great....it was like my own little private concert as they did some full-length songs.

I was on the lawn and firmly got my place in the front at about 4:45. The show didn't start until 7:30. I didn't move...haha.

The set was great, it was a good mix, although they only did one cover. Here are the songs from the set (in no order because you think I took notes? no..):

Calling the World
When did your heart go missing?
ISHBAY
Don't Come Around Again
Are You Afraid?
Paralyzed
All in Your Head
Blueside
Stay Away
If It were up to me
Shakin
Daisy Duke
Sorry Sorry
Runaway (cover)

They played for about an hour and a half. It was a good set!!!!

Overall, it was enjoyable. Robert talked about missing the debates, making sure everyone was registered to vote, and how honored they were to share the stage with Chuck Berry.

I hope (and I think they will!) come back to
Iowa!!!


I'm so jealous.

Oh, I have no doubt she saw the soundcheck, but it wasn't like an inaccessible thing, you know? :)


Yeah, I didn't know if your comment was directed at me or not because previously I stated that anyone could have gotten in.

Either way... whatever. haha.

Re: .

It was a ROUGH crowd. I felt pretty bad for the guys. It was basically your typical "too cool to move" college scene and I feel like Robert was pulling teeth for reactions. He did get pretty ingenious though by constantly bringing up the school and homecoming. The audience seemed to like that. It just seemed like most people didn't want to give them a chance.

Plus, as far as sound goes, it wasn't their best. I don't think it had anything to do with their playing, but to how the gear and sound was set for them. Taylor's and Ned's mics barely had any vocals. I think the stage was already set for Chuck and Rooney was just something before him in the tech guys' eyes. It just seemed off.

I brought my friends with me and it was their first show. I was super nervous as soon as "Blueside" didn't carry the punch it usually does, but they still enjoyed Rooney.

haha yeah i still have the one pic from that Locksley show on my phone.

I don't know what steak & shake is but judging by the name, it sounds pretty cool.


HAHA! What?! Never heard of Steak and Shake. I'm not big on it because they aren't all that vegetarian friendly but I do enjoy an egg salad sandwich there and a vanilla shake. :)

Here is the best info I have:

Time: After the homecoming parade (although a little birdie told me that they are preparing to perform at 7-7:30).

I will be there wearing a bright orange striped Michael Kors shirt!!! Woo! say hi! I am also going out to eat at steak n shake with my friend! sooo excited.

Ohh...if you need more specific directions or anything....add me on facebook: erinscreen@hotmail.com

It also makes me a little sad that Rooney touring with Vanessa Hudgsen gets a huge controversial thread, but them touring with Chuck FUCKING Berry has barely gotten any recognition.


morgan, you know i'd still makeout with chuck berry. i RESPECT him.

speaking of making out with people. apparently jared from kol got engaged. i had no idea, but it's totally wrecked my plans for tomorrow's show.


Hah, I saw them on SNL and thought of you! They aren't as hot as they used to be if that is any consolation.
Also, aren't they Mormon? If so, Mr. Followill will be totally down for multiple wives!


they are definitely not as hot as they used to be. maybe it was because jared was 17 when i met him? so wrong.

ps what happened to nathan's arms? and i'm assuming matt quit doing coke because he gained all his weight back.

i think they are baptist or pentecostal. however brandon flowers is mormon (as my roomie reminds me everyday) so that is always an option.

Let me just say that I would pay good money to see Chuck Berry alone. I grew up on his music. Now, Rooney AND Chuck Berry... talk about a dream. I'm very jealous of those of you who are able to attend this show. It's sad that not many people are stoked about this show.


I live like 20 minutes away from St. Louis and that is where Chuck Berry is from. I was just told that he apparently plays there all the time. However, I am convincing a few of my friends to go to the show saying it is free and with Chuck Berry. So yah, we are all very excited!
