Yes if you didn’t know they have been here and now gone again back on their world tour. They arrived hours before going live on Friday in Johannesburg at the Coke Cola Dome with a small break before going live in Cape Town on Sunday at Grand Arena.They were brought out here by Big Concerts, M-net and 5fm.
Friday seemed to drag with the excitement of my favourite band of all time coming to Johannesburg for their second time. Their first time was at Coke Feast but this time it was part of their world Tour. I watched patiently as the day grew to an end, with nervousness in my stomach. This was also because I felt bad because I gave away a ticket meant for someone else, out of spite but to be perfectly honest I wish I hadn’t. We finally arrived at the Northgate Coke Cola dome, and had to go running off to meet some other people in the entertainment business that ended up being so much fun and such a nice bunch of guys. We finally managed to worm our way through the masses to get ourselves trays of drinks because we didn’t want to do that again. And some ran off to grab themselves a bite to eat at one of the nearest kiosks.
We had our meeting spot near the merchandise at the back of the hall. Which even when we did get lost, we ended up having to find our own way back because no one came looking…giggles.
We finally found our spot and we stood in a circle around the drinks and jerseys and bags and we waited patiently for in my opinion one of the sexiest men alive Mr. Jared Leto and his band 30 Seconds to Mars
Finally 21:10 the band starts playing and the lights start flickering and He appears from the darkness and smoke… The first song “Escape” off their new album “This is War”. And I was enthralled, covered in goose bumps, there he was singing like the cd like the song I heard earlier that day. It was amazing.
He sang my favourite songs “Bury Me” which brought me to tears not just because I was there and he was singing live and I had goose bumps everywhere imaginable but because I was missing my best friend. The person who’s ticket I gave away.
At one stage Jared Leto moved to one of the camera stand with a mike and his guitar and played in the middle of the arena practically. Giving everyone a different view and coming closer to the people who couldn’t get their golden circle tickets before they sold out like me.
Over all it was my best and worst concert, my best because it was 30 Seconds to Mars and I can sing almost every one of their songs. I just love them. But my worst because the person I intended on sharing it with, I didn’t and she ended up sharing it with someone else. And I lost out.
