It is Canada Day today, and to celebrate there was an event at Trafalgar Square in London yesterday.
The event was free, Tokyo Police Club were the the main act, and as it was their only concert date in the whole of Europe in their farewell tour, so I could not miss it!
They opened with Breakneck Speed and played lots of songs, including many of my favourites.
They played Favorite Color, New Blues, Nature Of The Experiment, Hands Reversed, Bambi, End Of A Spark, Argentina Part I, Wait Up (Boots of Danger), Tessellate, Simple Dude, Be Good, Hang Your Heart, Hot Tonight, Box.
For the encore they played Your English Is Good and Cheer It On (from what I remember)
Wish they played Citizens Of Tomorrow but they didn't - should have requested it when they asked on Instagram!
I wanted to record their whole show but I also wanted to dance and sing which pretty much spoils any footage if you try to do both so I had to find the right balance!
The band started their set early, before their allotted 7:20 starting time, and also came back for an encore of 2 more songs, which was amazing!
After the encore we left slowly and I saw Dave coming out the backstage area towards were I had just been (front row, under the stage). I called him and asked if I could have a picture, and he said "Yeah, yeah" but kept on walking so I was walking beside him for a few seconds until he said "I'll come back". I waited there for a moment until I realised where he had gone, so went back to meet him and I got my picture (well, 3).
There were a few people still standing near the front so it makes sense that he wanted to go and meet them before they all left.
I said to him "I was at the front" and he replied "I saw you", then I said I loved the show, can't remember what he replied, then Dot also said to him that he liked the show, and we left. Not sure if the rest of the band also came out afterwards but I'm so happy I had the chance to see them one last time and even got a picture with Dave. Posted some of these pictures on my stories and TPC liked one of them.
Hoping for a 20th anniversary reunion!🥺
