Great pics Kat....thanks for posting!!! It was super cool meeting you!! By the looks of the pics, it appears MLE was in fine form Saturday night. She rocked my socks off Friday and appears she didn't let up Saturday. The set list for Saturday's show was pretty freakin' neat!!

by **james0479** on Sun Sep 13, 2009 7:40 am

BTW.....How was the corwd in Thackerville? Was there as many people as in Norman....and were they real into it? I think with Norman being my only show this year, I picked a dang good one. lol Just curious about the Thackerville crowd. Thanks!

Yes, we got vids. Rhondda and I were in front of a speaker. MLE's voice sounded great, and very loud.

We Pit People had a crazy rockin' good time!

by **Giant** on Sun Sep 13, 2009 9:19 am

Great photos everyone. We did have a rockin' good time in the pit. Great set lists, always love Ruins and You Used to Love to Dance is always fun to watch.

I think this show ranks as one of my all time favorites. The kneel down during one song and the moving the microphone forward and getting down on the floor was something I had not seen this year. The crowd was very good, although sound was not the best at the stage, it didn't matter. Thank you Oklahoma for two great shows and thank you FA for a great travel package.

by **LuckyLauren** on Sun Sep 13, 2009 10:47 am

I'm back...& EXHAUSTED. I have over 200 pictures to load, as well as 2 reviews to write, so please be patient. :lol:

Loved meeting (& seeing again) the porchers & other boardies! Yes, the pit was rocking' & sweatin'! Sorry this is so short, I have to get unpacked & settled before my head explodes.

:peace:

by **justagirl** on Sun Sep 13, 2009 12:07 pm

front row bitches certainly do rule!!! pit was fun...packed,hot and sweaty!!! rock and roll done right!!! piece of my heart was off the stage!!!! crazy for me was crazy good!!! meet me in the dark was also sensational.....

by **toomuchgirl** on Sun Sep 13, 2009 1:02 pm

Without a doubt, THE BEST CONCERT I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Melissa was down right OFF THE CHAIN last night!!!!!!! I'm still trying to recuperate! Definitely a night to remember. :biggrin:

by **LuckyLauren** on Sun Sep 13, 2009 2:32 pm

154 pictures. Some of these turned out really well!

I love being to one side of the mic stand, at least ya get some pictures without it in the way. :lol:

(MEEFST: feel free to nab any & all of them!)

by **james0479** on Sun Sep 13, 2009 2:58 pm

Lauren and everyone....How cool about the great pit in Thackerville. Sounds like MLE went down and dirty again!! lol Someone mentioned the sexy feel to Norman's show. I agree. I thought it would be pretty serious considering the date.....and it was during Tuesday Morning...but I found MLE very flirty and sexy. Loved it!! Way to have a kickbutt weekend!!! I'm glad you are all getting back home safely. I'm saving up for next year!

by **dreamer** on Sun Sep 13, 2009 6:53 pm

She said we were a screaming and loud crowd! When she sang "crazy"! I went crazy! fantastic! Every song was great!
Thanks to everyone for sharing pictures.

Oh, the pit was sick...daym! She said that Norman had been a quiet show, & that made me a tad sad. We (the true fans) can make a lot of noise, but I guess we can't make up for a sitting crowd. :roll:

I'm so glad Thackerville more than made up for it!

Glad you are home safely as well, see you next year for sure!

by **LuckyLauren** on Mon Sep 14, 2009 11:06 am

Did anyone get videos? I really hope so! Here are a few of the ones we shot that I love:

by **LuckyLauren** on Mon Sep 14, 2009 11:08 am

(I cropped this one like this on purpose because I loved the way the lights looked above her.)

by **LuckyLauren** on Mon Sep 14, 2009 11:19 am

(love the R&R hair!)

(those eyes!)

...

by **LuckyLauren** on Mon Sep 14, 2009 11:28 am

(She had her eyes closed for quite awhile, jamming. When she opened them you could see her "snap back to reality" like "whow!")

(LMAO!!)

by **LuckyLauren** on Mon Sep 14, 2009 11:36 am

(You can see the smudges from where all of us touched her guitar lol.)

There are so many more, just check the link up there (or click on any of these)!

by **Cruisin** on Mon Sep 14, 2009 1:48 pm

I just had a thought...Has anyone admitted that this was INDEED a tour? :biggrin:

by **james0479** on Mon Sep 14, 2009 2:13 pm

LOL Crusin! Lauren...whoa, those pics are freaking awesome. Thanks so much for sharing.

Lauren this last one is too funny and hmmm what else??

kinda strange and intense. Im sure when Melissa sees it she'll be saying, what I was a think of at that very moment :lol:

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed them...there are so damn many! My theory in shooting something like a concert is "just keep shooting & you will get a few that are money shots" lol!

by **toomuchgirl** on Mon Sep 14, 2009 7:47 pm

"Meet Me In The Dark".......HUGE shout out to Melissa for that one!!!! It was spectacular!!!!!!

by **LuckyLauren** on Mon Sep 14, 2009 7:57 pm

toomuchgirl wrote:"Meet Me In The Dark".......HUGE shout out to Melissa for that one!!!! It was spectacular!!!!!!

YES!! Do we know what song was supposed to be where she played "Occasionally?" We know TWIM was going to be where MMITD was (which is a song I've always wanted to hear live, so here is a huge thank you to the sign maker)!

by **james0479** on Mon Sep 14, 2009 8:17 pm

LOL Lauren...that's how ya gotta shoot pics at a show! You did great! "Occassionally" is one of my favorite MLE songs. I love the way she beats that guitar. Just cool.

by **deardeergirl** on Mon Sep 14, 2009 8:27 pm

Lauren, the first one is fantastic!!! Hope to see that submitted for the calendar!

Thank you, it is one I'm submitting! I just hate that the mic stand is right in the middle, ugh. That's before we rushed, from 5th row center.

The night of the Thackerville show, we had several “visitors” show up to our party room, courtesy of Dawn: “Paula” the sexy brunette, “Raquel” the bathing blonde beauty, “Gino” the pimp, and “Sugar Pops” the crack ho. Props to Coll, our tour hair and make-up artist, for her contribution to the various transformations, and Dawn you are the funniest person I have ever known in my life and I am so glad we have become friends. I was fortunate to be able to record one “scene” between Gino the pimp and his street worker, Kel, whom he roughhoused and demanded his money. Kel’s laugh really makes this video. Sorry for my occasional giggling as I was recording, I actually had tears rolling down my face I was laughing so hard and I really did try very hard not to make too much noise laughing. Dawn, I love you, you and Angie really are the queens of our tour experiences! Enjoy!

Completely hilarious!!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing! 8-)

by **originalangie** on Tue Sep 15, 2009 9:14 am

Kat we love you too.

but I have to say Gino scared me, not sure where he came from as he wasn't the usual MLE fan. I did however like Paula and Raquel, I quite fancied Paula. :biggrin:
