Nissan Live Sets March 2007


By: Alexis

Artist: Maroon 5

Concert Name/Year: Nissan Live Sets March 2007

Pros: Maroon 5’s fan club, Strength In Numbers, held a contest. 100 lucky fan club members, along with one guest, were going to receive a chance to see the band perform songs off their brand new album “It Wont Be Soon Before Long” months before the actual album dropped in stores. I was one of the lucky SIN CLUB fan members.

On March 27, 2007 a friend and I drove to Burbank Ca, to watch Maroon 5 perform songs off their new album at the 20th Century Fox Studios. We arrived at the studios and were escorted to a shuttle station. I realized that my friend and I were among the first people there. The shuttle took us to Stage 17 and my friend and I were checked in by security. From there, we escorted to a place on the Lot where we would stand in Line for more than 2 hours.

Finally time came to go to the Stage and as soon as we walked in we ran straight up to the front. I was so excited because I would be less than 10 feet away from my favorite performer, Adam Levine. The band came out and got the crowd started with their new song “Makes Me Wonder.” At first, the crowd was pretty silent, trying to catch onto the lyrics. But it wasn’t long until everyone was screaming and yelling, singing along to the lyrics and dancing to the beat. Right after “Makes Me Wonder” they played 2 more songs from their old album “Harder To Breathe” and “Sunday Morning.”

They held a Q&A session and then after that they played 2 NEW songs “Wake Up Call” and “Wont Go Home Without You” (Adam’s favorite song to perform.) They held another Q&A session and then finished their performance with “Shiver” “She Will Be Loved” and “This Love.”

You could tell that the band was satisfied with their performance and couldn’t wait till the release of the album on May 22nd 2007.

Cons:
Since, the album hadn’t been released yet, no one in the audience knew the lyrics to their songs. It was the first time anyone had heard their new songs. Also, this performance was being tapped for the Yahoo Music Website so the band was stopped mid song most times and were asked to do it again.

Experiences:
A woman that worked for Yahoo Music came up to my friend, handed her a digital camera and asked her to take pictures of the show. The pictures were going to be posted on Yahoo Music! under Fan Experiences. Also, my friend and I scored some guitar picks from guitarist Adam Levine.

Rating:
This was my First Maroon 5 show and I don’t think any other show could have beaten it!! I give it a 10

Final Thoughts: Maroon 5 is definitely worth seeing Live. Go to Maroon5sin.com to become a SIN Club member and reap the awesome benefits this Fan Club has to offer.
