SharkTums Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hey guys! For those of you who have not yet discovered Yo Gabba Gabba, you must check it out. It is a show for Toddlers and Preschoolers on Nick Jr. but it really appeals to everyone. It has great musicians (The Aquabats even played live at the show) and actors guest star and perform, teaches children all about movement and dance, and is just awesome! Today marked the start of their first ever LIVE US Tour in Los Angeles at the Shrine Expo Hall. It's a pretty big deal and of course we were there to bring this update to you! Also, if you've been lucky enough to be on a TPR Trip, you already know about the Yo Gabba Gabba Snack Song and the awesomeness of the show in general, but for the rest of you...here's some more! (Scroll down for videos from the show!) The Little Green One! My name is MUNO!!!! DJ Lance showed up, brought the Gabba Gabba Gang to life and the stage really lit up. It was a really impressive setup, even moreso considering it was a kids show! Here was the stage setup...the music started... KT gets ready for the show with her awesome Yo Gabba Gabba light stick! There was tons of AWESOME EXCLUSIVE Merchandise...I tried to restrain myself and only bought $64 worth! (Kicking myself now though for not buying more!!!!) The event was held at the Shrine Expo Hall which is probably the worst venue I've ever seen, especially for a kids show. But it didn't matter, Yo Gabba Gabba rocked the place and made the most of it. Jump Shake Shimmy Them Out! Let's get the Sillies Out! SHIMMY! SHAKE! Then with all the craziness it was time to: JUMP! They then dropped about 5000 balloons from the ceiling and it was pure amazing pandemonium! Awesome! He's up in the air with the balloons! He likes balloons a lot, I'm sure if everyone gives him balloons he'll be happy...let's try! Oh no, Brobee is sad... "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's ok!" BTW, Brobee blinded me with his flashlight, those were some really powerful lights they gave them! Did I mention that KT LOVED this show!?!? She was really into it. The song was all about how friends are different and stuff like that, I remember thinking it would be great for a TPR Closing Segment! Oh, and that's the sad guy...he's always depressed! Another shot of the awesome cast. I'm SOOO Bummed I didn't end up getting the Music is Awesome CD which came with a bonus live tracks CD with a new song! Terminator Kristen loves the Aquabats!!! It was the Aquabats!!! AWESOME!!! They were really great as usual. Next up it was time for the 'Super Music Friends Show'! This was the "Peek a Boo" song, with the 'search light' video thing in back it felt like the Where's the Fire attraction at Epcot! My name is Kristen! I like to Dance! Yoooooooooo GABBA GABBA! We were having a great time! Notice how we have another awesome photo of Wes as well! Toodee! She likes to have fun! It was a really, really well done show. If you're into the show at all, even if you don't have kids I recommend going to see the live show. Seriously, I want to go back and do it again. I hope this takes off and we get a tour every year. DJ LANCE ROCKS!!!!! Grand Finale, thanks to the Aquabats, thanks to Biz, thanks to EVERYONE! Carrots, Carrots for Brobee! There's a Party in my Tummy!!! Chicken, Chicken for Brobee! Then it was SNACK TIME!!! TIME TO EAT!!! Biz makes a real appearance!!!! He got some of the biggest cheers of the day! Biz asks: "Did I make that Smell?!?!" Almost, Almost, Almost... DJ Lance asks: Are you okay Biz...that looks like you're really squeezing one out! Next up is what I like to call: Biz looks like he's taking a Dump. KT was really digging this part dancing, hopping, running, etc. All in Circles!!! Here you can see we had pretty great seats, about 10 rows back, dead center, out of 50 total rows. Next was one of KT's favorite songs from the show: "Running/Skipping/Hopping in Circles!" Dancey Dance time with the old Freaks and Geeks guys. Next up: Bubbles! So they dropped balloons, streamers (twice), and bubbles into the crowd! Then it was time for a quick intermission. I was ready to go buy more merchandise, but the line was SOOOO long I couldn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divv3k Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 OMG, that looks AMAZING! Okay, so who really loved it more Elissa - you or KT? Yo Gabba Gabba is starting to take off in the UK now, if something like this came along here I'd totally arrange a Brit Crew get together! Glad you guys had fun! - Divv "I like snacks" Walsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 I think I probably 'appreciated it' more than KT, but she really did love it too. I can't even explain how impressed I was with the stage, setup, and way the show flowed. Again, ESPECIALLY for a kids show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra_roll06 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Best. TR. Ever. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_dude2002 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Wow that was an impressive set up for the show! Glad to see you all had a fun time. I think its time for a snacky snack snack right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nay Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 That is too cute!! Looks like a great production. Now I'm tempted to steal my neighbor's kid and go see it when it comes here. I love DJ Lance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Awesome... I can't believe Biz Markie was actually there. That's amazing! It looks and sounds like you guys had a great time! This has nothing to do with Yo Yo Gabba Gabba, but I bought this shirt from my work. Nobody Beats The Biz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor6 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 That was really entertaining for a kid's show! Is it a bad thing that when you referred to KT as Kristen, that it took me a minute to figure out who you were talking about? I just can't remember the last time someone called her by her birth name.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily>piers Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I'm glad you all had such a fantastic time - KT looks like she was having a blast! E xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printersdevil78 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Wow, I can't believe they allowed video recording! You're going to make me a hero to my girlfriend's 5-year-old daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Toodee is HOT! Glad you guys enjoyed the show. Wonderful picture of Wes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Wow, I can't believe they allowed video recording! You're going to make me a hero to my girlfriend's 5-year-old daughter. I know! There was nothing on the tickets, no signs, and they made several announcements about rules and stuff but nothing about cameras (still or video!). I think they assume that at a kids show we're not really about pirating the show, moreso making a nice memory for our kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usctrojansrock11 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I saw a million 2 year olds yesterday going to this while trying to park at the USC game. Weird you were there. Looks llike you had fun! haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 So apparently the 3pm show didn't have the Aquabats, but had Sarah Silverman for Dancey Dance. I can't wait to see how they get different acts for each live show! This is why you all need to go, because the show is always different. So cool!

thrillerman1 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I wanna go to the party in your city! This looks SO amazing! Elissa I have the "Music is Awesome" CD and it really is good. You can find it at Target or probably Amazon, although mine did not come with a live bonus disc. Hopefully I can post a CD review here soon. Anyway, thanks for the show review, vids, and pics!!!

antmcmullen Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I wish there was a party in MYYY City! lol , It looked rather awesome for a kids show... no where near the quality we'd get in the uk lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 ^^Yeah I have the Music is Awesome from iTunes, I just really wanted the new bonus Live stuff. ^Exactly. I was expecting like a static stage with some bright colors or whatever, not an amazing interactive video screen and lighting package. Very impressed. I think they've really upped the ante when it comes to kids shows. I can't imaging going to see like Sesame Street Live or the Imagination Movers or something now. We're spoiled!

Wes Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 So apparently the 3pm show didn't have the Aquabats, but had Sarah Silverman for Dancey Dance. I can't wait to see how they get different acts for each live show! This is why you all need to go, because the show is always different. So cool! Aw man, apparently instead of the Aqua Bats, it was Cold War Kids at the later show! No offense to the Bats or the Freaks & Geeks kids, but CWK and Sarah Silverman is way cooler, in my opinion. The show was SO AWESOME though. I didn't really have much expectation since it was a kids thing, but it was so much fun. It was really impressive to see in person. They did a really amazing job. I'm so glad I got to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 That looks badass. I'll have to watch the videos at some point. I'm so glad they put effort into it and made it a really good production, instead of half-assing it just because it's a "kids show", which is what usually happens. This is a good lesson in that just because something is for kids, doesn't mean you shouldn't go all out and really try to make it as entertaining and as impressive as possible. Some parks could really use this lesson... dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Snoop Dogg was the Dancey Dance guest for this morning's show! Awesome! Still trying to find out who the band was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 ^ That's awesome! I also would have rather seen Snoop and Sarah Silverman over the Freeks & Geeks, but I'm glad I saw the Aquabats since I've never seen them live and I have no idea who that other band is...but now I want to go look them up!!!

grinch1313 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 That was one of the greatest things I've ever watched. Great videos and it looks like you guys had a fantastic time! What a well put together and entertaining show! I want to go to a party in my city! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnottsDisneyFarm Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 When I was KT's age I would have NEVER danced in front of people. She is very brave. The show looked really well done and very entertaining. Nice photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
