Hanson: At The Fillmore (2000) - 1758 Caps
I know. It took me long enough.

'At The Fillmore' isn't my favorite Live DVD from the guys, it's definitely the one I've watched the least amount of times. I just feel like it's lacking something the other live DVDs had. It doesn't have the energy of 'Underneath Acoustic Live' or any backstage stuff like 'Road to Albertane' (I love all of that) and it wasn't as visually captivating as 'Middle of Nowhere Acoustic'.

And Zac looked so bored and miserable half the time! :( I don't know, maybe it was just me, but it seemed like he had these little bursts of enthusiasm every now and again and then he'd go back to looking like he wasn't in to it at all.

But the show does have it's moments. Little things here and there that made me smile. Mostly Tay being a doof and interacting with the crowd. 'In The City' is a great performance. It wasn't one of my favorite songs until I saw it performed on this DVD and then seeing how they threw themselves into it... it just changed how I feel when I hear it, I guess. lol

Anyway! On with the caps...





First off we get a (very) short but sweet introduction. Aside from the 'If Only' and 'This Time Around' music videos, it's the only non-performance footage on the DVD.


You Never Know:


Yay! Happy Zac! As I said before, it's something (I felt) we didn't see much of during this show.


*snicker* I swear, Ike spends half his time on stage looking at Tay. Most of the time his expressions seem to say "Am I doing this right?", "WTF are you talking about?" or "Dude, we're so awesome".


Runaway Run:


At the beginning of the performance, a fan threw water at Tay and splashed him a little in the face. His response: "Welcome to Hanson - the wet Hanson - at the Fillmore." and then "Thank you for that, now I'm not hot." Oh, Taylor, I must disagree with you on that one.


...


Okay, I had to make an animation of it because a still frame doesn't do it justice. lol. I don't know what it is about this moment, but the first time I saw it I think my mouth fell open. And then I watched it about ten times over.

Anyway...


Yeah, Ike. You Chuck Berry. You bad ass.


I swear while I was making these caps he was smiling less... this is weird. lol


Thinking Of You:


Zac beating the crap outta his drums.


*stares*


Ike and Tay gettin' in to it.


Wish That I Was There:


:D I don't think I need to elaborate.


I wish I knew what this look was about. lol.


Either they're not very strong or he is. How does he stay on the stage?! (Well... he doesn't always, but it's usually just 'cos he fell off of it while he was trying to be cool)


Sure About It:


Ike and Tay babble for a while at the beginning of the song about how they're not sure about what it's about and it goes on until Zac interrupts them and says "we're not sure why we're not singin' the song".


Givin' it their all. 'Cos that's what they do best.


Love Song:


I've said it before and I'm probably gonna say it again after this, but HOW CAN ANYONE THINK THIS BOY IS NOT BEAUTIFUL?! LOOK AT THAT FACE!!!!!!!!!


I love how Zac is just watching Tay play piano. I don't blame him. I wish the camera guy would have given us more shots of Tay's hands during this song.


Ike the Acoustic Rock God. ;)


Hand in Hand:


This is another one of those things I've said before, but 'Hand in Hand' was no where near as good on the album as it is live. I never liked it on the album, but I love it live and I know I'm not alone in feeling this way.


Seriously.


Seriously.


If Only:


Tizzy time.


He was born to be on stage. I mean, they all were, but Tay is just so at home there. Even in clips from when they were little, he was like this total pro at the age of 10.


Through the entire show, he kept looking in this exact direction and smiling. I wonder if there was a funny banner or a hot fan somewhere over there? lol (actually, I think they may have had friends up in the balcony. I swear I saw their dad up there in one of the balcony shots)


This Time Around:


Gratuitous Tay Hands Shot.


:D


Hell yeah!


MMMBop:


LMAO.


Guess which part of the chorus he was on when this was snapped?


Magic Carpet Ride:


I loved this cover song (I think their cover songs almost always kick ass). Especially Zac's little "Oooooh Yeah! I like to dream!" at the beginning and "Yes I like to dream!" scream in the middle. :)


I can't even think of anything to say. I like Sweaty Hanson.


The end of the song and the end of the show (almost). Someone threw a ball on stage and Zac kicked it back into the audience (you can see it flying out of the top left hand corner of the cap. lol)


Encore...


In The City:


Definitely one of my favorite bits of the show, just because of the energy they put into it.


Tay spends almost the entire song running back and forth across the stage, holding hands with the crowd and jumping up and down.

Oh, and singing.

How he doesn't collapse from exhaustion at the end of it, I have no clue.


Mic Sharing = ♥


Ike jumps off of the drum riser and lands on the stage. Tay jumps into the pit. And it wasn't intentional.


This Time Around (Acapella):


During the acapella bit, there were slow mo clips from the show, and this shot of Zac just makes me happy.


*blinks* Zac has a huge mouth. I mean, I knew this, but it still surprises me sometimes. lol
