The Jared Leto Show

Until about six months or so ago, I'm not sure I knew Jared Leto for anything other than being Jordan Catalano in My So Called Life and popping up from time to time in various movies. MSCL was one of my favorite shows back in the day. Wasn't it everyone's?


But, a few months back I happened upon a little documentary that featured Jared Leto and his band.

To learn that he was a musician that had put out several albums with a group; well, honestly, I really had no idea. But, I watched the documentary, Artifact, and then bought their latest album. Quite quickly, I became addicted and Jared and I started walking to school together every day.

Their tour schedule included two dates in Italy right before school let out and Caitlin decided to be a little crazy with me and we bought tickets for the show in Turin. It was the night before the last day of school. We hopped a train as soon as we could on Thursday and made our way to the show.

There was a DJ before the 30 Seconds to Mars show.

The entire show was all about Jared. We were off to one side, so had no real view of the left side of the stage. The two other musicians on the stage played no central role in the performance at all. We learned after the show that Shannon Leto, Jared's brother and band drummer, had been arrested for DUI and was still in jail in California. Bummer. But, me, the average fan...didn't really notice the difference.

If only that darn cameraman hadn't been in the way!

I was there to see that HAIR! And, I thought Jared put on a decent show given the circumstances.

They sent dozens of huge balloons into the audience near the beginning of the show. 

Here's a bit of the footage that I recorded during the show---



In the morning, we caught the first train back to Milan for the LAST day of school! : )
