I am very happy to read all these positive reviews about the shows. It's hard to believe that Avril was far from the scenes five long years... watching the videos of these live seems as she never stopped. She is really in shape, with a voice amazing than ever. Avril's come back is been truly memorable. I'm happy for her, for the album she managed to make, for these great tours, and to all the fans who have the chance to participate

I honestly don't know where to begin...The show was overall fantastic. Jagwar Twin was pretty dope. Avril touched my hand twice during the show. My boyfriend is so awesome for catching it all on video. I was really expecting to hear more songs off HAW but honestly I'm just happy she performed at all. Her vocals were absolutely amazing! I really don't feel like I have the right to complain since this entire show was soooo good! I also got to meet Adam from here which was really nice as well as a couple of other fans. I will say one thing though that kind of bothered me. After the show I went to the gates (near avril's tour bus) and waited hoping she would come out. After awhile a lot of people gathered up as well which totally ruined it. At that point I figured she wouldn't come out because there were just wayy to many people. Honestly that in itself wasn't what bothered me. What really got to me were the fans who were waiting. People were shouting "COME SIGN FOR US! YOU DID AT THE OTHER SHOWS" and "YOU'LL REGRET THIS! I'M GONNA TWEET YOU!" So many rude people just shouting at her while she was talking to her team. I completely understand being excited and wanting to meet her but that's just so unnecessary and rude. The security at The Greek were also very rude as well. Aside from all of that the show was spectacular and It's something i'll definitely never forget. Here's a GIF of her touching me xD Eric, it was so good meeting you and your boyfriend! Your vests were totally dope! I'm so glad you enjoyed the show I was also bothered by how people reacted to Avril not coming to sign and take photos. People yelling "really, Avril?" and stuff like that. It was very annoying. Especially because she was spending time taking pictures with her string section that played the show and she was clearly not just sitting around haha. Not to mention Deryck was there with his wife (DERYCK AND HIS WIFE ARE EXPECTING A BABY!) and he hung out with her til at least an hour after the show. Devin Bronson was there as well and Lindsey Blaufarb (dancer / backup singer from The Best Damn Tour). Not to mention her boyfriend was there and many of her friends, I'm sure. It's hard to meet with over 100 fans outside when you have all that going on. I'm sure the same will happen when she's in Toronto with her family and friends! The security was extremely rude, I got it on video but decided not to post it. They were driving a truck towards the crowd to intimidate people from waiting around, yelling at people over the loudspeaker. It was unnecessarily aggressive, and honestly I'm sure Avril would have been pissed if she witnessed that happening.

Oh also worth mentioning, Matt (her brother) came out in the middle of the show and replaced the setlist. I'm wondering if perhaps a song (or both songs) were cut out after the show started due to time constraints. The Greek Theater is in the hills of a really rich neighborhood so perhaps the venue gets fined if the shows go late? After all, I could hear her soundcheck from outside and she rehearsed Dumb Blonde during it.

Yeah I figured at the LA show she probably had a lot of her friends show up and she was probably busy saying hi to everyone. And perhaps if a crowd is too big, she won’t stop because she’d be there all night. They have a schedule and they have to get to the next stop. She was probably tired and wanted to say hi to her friends and go home. Wow, that is incredible that so many of her old band members and stuff came to see her. And great that she and Deryck still have that friendship. Also good to hear Phillip was there and that they haven’t broken up. I was starting to wonder if maybe that was true after all since we haven’t seen them together lately and maybe that’s why she wasn’t performing the love songs from this album. And thanks for the info on the last minute set change, I’m sure time was the reason.
Avril tweeted a bunch of stories that her bus broke down so she had to take a red eye to get to Denver for the show tonight, they were 18 hours away. They didn’t get in till nearly 3 AM. Avril is such a trooper!

Something I’ve been wondering about is what happens while Avril is offstage changing costumes? Does the band just play an instrumental? Is there a video interlude? I haven’t seen any videos that show what happens.

I could forgive her getting bored of Complicated tbh. I mean how many times must she have performed that song by now? not many more than that filler IWY. IWY and IWIM are so overrated on here IMO both Filler

Do you guys know if cameras are allowed inside the theaters or only mobile phones? I have seen in some venues like Seattle they allowed fans in the first row to stand up by the stage. Hopefully they will be this flexible in the upcoming shows too

I think IWY is kind of a tradition by now. I love the interaction with the crowd. Hearing the crowd sing the song gives me a strange feeling and I love it. I can see how IWIM is for some of you overrated though but IWY is just a beautiful piece.

Hopefully they will be this flexible in the upcoming shows too I would check the individual venues' websites because they might all have different restrictions about what you can bring in. A lot of venues in the US don't allow professional recording equipment, especially anything that has a removable lens. I would think digital point and shoot kinds of cameras are ok though, maybe as long as you don't use flash. DSLRs and camcorders I think are more what they discourage, no selfie sticks either.

I think that I'm with you is just a gift she gives to fans and fans by singing back to her say "thank you" if you know what I mean. it's like that kinda song that has to be in the setlist in order to say thank you for all the love and support and we by singing it back we say "thank you for making my life a lot better".
