Deryck Plays On Stage With Avril in Toronto
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2008 9:32 am
Tonight I went to Avril's show in Toronto, ON, and it was the best concert I've ever been to freaking ever. The part that made it so special was the fact that Deryck and Avril played "In Too Deep" together on stage. It was possibly the best moment of my fucking life. It also helped that, like every show I went to this tour, I had front and center to witness this.
If you don't mind, I'll just copy and paste that part of the review I posted on my site because it's 4:30 AM and I have to leave Toronto in less than three hours and I haven't gotten any sleep...
In To Deep (Featuring Mr. Whibley)
The night before the concert, Sharifa came and woke me up and said "Adam, I'm sorry for waking you, but this is worth waking up for." She plotted the computer on my lap and I read that Avril and Deryck had played on stage together in Sudbury the night before and I flipped out. If you're slow to catch on, in my world, Deryck is the king, Avril is the princess, and Avril and Deryck together is my lifestyle. It has always been my dream to see Avril and Deryck perform on stage together, and I never thought that it would happen today, but it did. I didn't want to know what song they'd be performing together, because we had just assumed he had come on for a song like "Sk8er Boi" or "I Don't Have To Try", but I didn't know it would be a Sum 41 song. Anyways, Katie accidentally leaked to me before the concert that Avril and Deryck would be performing "With Me". I flipped out, because I wasn't supposed to know, but I was so happy at the same time. So the whole concert, I was expecting to hear "With Me" during the encore, which would have been the cutest performance ever. When Deryck walked on stage, I literally flipped out. I have the potential to go crazy for Deryck, just by him making his presence known with his usual salute to the audience. I was expecting a "Hi, I'm Deryck fucking Whibley" or something like that, but there was none, he definitely knew his audience. The whole time, I was yelling my butt off. Then I heard "In Too Deep" starting to play and I was so excited. I had been expecting "With Me", but they could've played any Sum 41 song ("A.N.I.C.", and "Ma Poubelle" included) and I would've been satisfied. Deryck was his normal self, which I love, and Avril sat back and admired him. Avril took part singing the chorus, and she did a great job. It's so funny because Avril was just chilling clapping her hands and waving them in the air at points, admiring her husband whiel he rocked out. Avril was wearing her red/black striped Abbey Dawn hoodie, and Deryck was wearing a red shirt, black tie and black pants, I believe. His usual attire, I guess. It was when they were on stage together that I really realized how much alike they are on stage. Avril takes so much out of Deryck's live performance, and I think it's so admirable. They were great together, and it was really cute how Avril introduced him by saying "I have a verrrrrry special guest with me today" or something like that. It was so great. This is the one performance that I will replay in my head for years to come. I sound like a teenage girl, but just keep in mind that this was like my dream come true, and I'm not going to be shy about it."
I'll post the video once my friend uploads it. The performance was perfect.
Also (not that you care) but Avril gave a shout out to my site AvrilBandaids.com during her performance. She said: "You guys are insane. I see a banner at the front." [She then said something about Bandaids that got drowned out by the screaming] "I have the best damn fans! [pointing down to us] Make sure you check out AvrilBandaids.com. Thank you all for the support over the years. You guys are awesome - this goes out to you!"
Anyways...yeah I'll post the video here, if you're interested.
Phili is going to be gutted that she didn't come to this concert with me
Cheers! (sorry for typo's it's late/early)
