Seattle (studio X) 7-16-99 ENDSESSION SET LIST: Slave Point Of View Ana's Song Emotion Sickness Madman Seattles alternative radio station 107.7 The End(kndd) had done an EndSession with the band Silverchair. Endsessions are lil private concert in a lil studio and only about 30 people are allowed in. The only way you can get tickets to these endsessions is to call up and win. So i being a very big silverchair fan. was one of the few 15 people that won and got 2 tickets to go to this private concert with silverchair and each person gets to bring 1 friend. At the end of their set Which was only about 5 songs. we got to meet the band members. (exept daniel). anyways... me and my friends get to studio X in seattle around 1:00 and the session doesnt start untill 2:00 so we went around the back alley to see if we could run into any of the guys from the back door. but there was no luck. there was only modulaters that were guarding the back door. So we tryed to suck up to them to see if we could get back there. Once again we had no luck. but anyways. So we went back to the front door and waited. and talked with some of the other winners of the contest. and finally at around 1:45 they let us in the doors to the studio. and they gave each person a "backstage" pass. and the winners of the contest got a signed Neon Ballroom Cd. which was awesome. so we go into this lil room. where we have to wait untill the guys are done doin soundcheck. and their soundcheck sounded awesome. I was soo excited. finally we got to go into the studio where they would be playing. it was a very intimate setting. candles ect... and also very tiny place. So finally it was the moment i had been waiting for for like 3 1/2 yrs. i finally get to see silverchair up close. and get to meet them. ive seen them before. but never so close and "personal". When the guys came out the little crowed went crazy. and seeing this whole performance is taped and reaired on the station. me and my friends were trying to be as loud as possible so we'd be able to pick our selves out of the crowed when they aired in on the station. Right when they got up to their insturments and mics. They busted out and played the best version of "Slave" ive ever heard. Then they quickly went right into "point of view". and between songs. Daniel would talk and say " so you won a contest, we are the prize,we're the band, silverchair" "so how are you". and the crowd would of course say good. and me and my friends were like " How are you" and daniel says " good thank you," it was awesome.. were like wow he herd us. and then daniel's like " umm. i guess i dont have much to say so i'll just keep playing." and then he did the intro to ana's song. It was definatly a crowed pleaser. Then after that. They played Emotion Sickness it was so awesome. Sam worked the keys perfectly. and when daniel was screaming "get up , get up..." it looked as though he was going to cry. It was kinda sad in a way. but he continued to play. and then they busted out and did the best live version of Madman. it was so intense. but right after that song was over. they all left the stage. so we all just sat down and talk with each other about the how awesome they sounded. Then Ben Chris and Sam came out and signed autograph and took pics with the guys. daniel unfortunatly didnt come out for pictures and autographs. So i got my Frogstomp Cd signed and i got my "backstage" pass signed by ben chris and sam. :) It was one of the best days of my life. :)
