You know that song with the line, let’s skip to the good part? Well, it’s by a group called AJR. You probably already know that and I’m just a pop culture dinosaur these days, but anyway, they’re supporting Imagine Dragons on our tour and they’re a really fun, very lively, bunch of guys and really rock the house when they’re on. Having started busking in New York, they’re now getting ready for their own tour.

I spoke to their keyboard player, Ryan, a couple of times around shows, and he seems as happy and fun in real life as he does on stage. If you ever get a chance, check them out.

This is the end of Jode’s Music Review. You’re welcome.

I worked the spotlights for AJR at the imposing and ugly/beautiful PGE Narodowy stadium in Warsaw, Poland. After AJR we also worked the spotlights for the Dragons.

It was a sell out crowd, and I can’t find stats online, but it has a concert capacity of 72,000 and it couldn’t have been far off that this night.

After the show, the Dragons depart swiftly as usual, and they descended a ramp at the back of the stage, under the cover of darkness to their luxury vehicles where they are whisked away to prepare for the next show.

Although it wasn’t actually as dark back there as we thought it was, and the crowd spotted them going, cheering and clapping and waving to them. I followed them down the ramp, filming the crowd, who seemed to be waving and cheering at me. I pointed my camera at them and they cheered a little louder, clearly unable to see exactly who I was in the shadows, but knowing that the Dragons had been there a few seconds before me… or maybe they thought I was one of the Dragons? I mean, I’d already been mistaken for one of Coldplay this year, and no one could really see me properly.

I gave a small wave and the crowd cheered and waved back.

I gave a big two handed wave, and thousands of people cheered and waved back!

Pleased with myself, I walked down the ramp where Ollie stood at the bottom.

I smiled down at him.

He looked up at me.

“You are such a dick,” he said.
