08/03/08 - ESPACIO MOVISTAR, BARCELONA

The second show of '11' on this brief acoustic tour. Bryan plays 'Tonight We Have The Stars' for the first time.

Review by Clara:
After waiting in the queue and getting the information that we would be sitting in cushions and that there would be a Q&A session, it ended up being all standing and no questions. Still, he accepted a request... it was 'Heaven'...

(Above) Bizarre yoga matts/cushions await the crowd! Apparently this idea was scrapped!

I was number 69 and Hels number 70 but we made it to the 3rd-4th row... stage was very very lowered so it was actually an awesome view having bryan nearly at our same level. I've got some videos but that will be for another day!

'Tonight We Have The Stars' sounds quite good on accoustic tbh...
when he said that he was alone tonight and that there was no band members i shouted a question from Chels... "Where is Keith" to which he just smiled and looked down...

The highlight of the night was when he started saying that this album was meant to be acoustic but that then the band got jealous cause they wouldn't have had anything to do for the rest of the year, so they changed it into rock... "'CAUSE I LIKE ROCK " he said... to which i shouted.. " Why then do you play the acoustic guitar on every song" to which he replied "Who is an asshole?" .... i just couldn't stop laughing... he grinned at me.. i was so close to shouting back "you" but my voice just wouldn't have let it come out, and then Helen started pointing at me, as if Bryan didn't know where i was!... lololol... oh well... i guess he took the revenge for me showing my middle finger at Manchester last year.

OK... then we went where BA's car should go out and waited for about 5 mins... then his car came out and he waved us... and that was it, we just returned home...

Strange, and rather unique experience...
