I can't wait to hear all the concert stories....
I have a couple of good ones....
First off the show was amazing, great energy there. 80,000 dead heads partying before and during the show was off the hook. I had nice seats for the show, but I have a bum knee, and sitting in one of those seats would have been torture for me, so I inquired about handicap seats. Long story short I ended up with those handicap seats with a perfect view. In our journey to get the handicap seats we were ushered down by the usher to the floor, when there they place floor wrist bands on our wrist, guess we needed them for those handicap seats. So after we get our seats we proceed to the floor for a bit, my son tells me he wants to see how close he can get to the stage. I tell him to go for it.
Before the show we parked across the street at a restaurant called Davids, park there and get a free buffet. Only 1 buffet per parking pass, so I gave it to my son, they placed a yellow wrist band on him to show he paid for his buffet. Well in his journey to get "as close as possible" to the stage he learned that the people in the "pit" area had yellow wrist bands on too. He flashed this yellow wrist band and was let into the pit area, just a few feet away from the stage. So he says he's dancing having a great time and there's this tall dude just in front of him dancing and the tall dude bumps into my son, he turns around to apologize and it's Bill Walton. He said Bill gave him a great big hug, said sorry. He said Bill was cool as fuck, he talked to him a bit, he told Bill that this was his first show, Bill told him that he was lucky to be here for this iconic show, and was glad he was there, and gave him another hug.
What a great story for my son, he was all fired up after the show with his story. He has pictures of Bill, I'll upload when he gets up. My son uses no drugs at all, He's a three sport athlete at his school and they drug test, so he don't burn. His favorite sport is Basketball, so it was a big thrill to meet and enjoy the show with Bill Walton.
The second half of the show I made my way to the floor to absorb that energy. During the drum solo I was making my way off the floor to take a piss and I run into "The Boss and PC" on the floor (80,000 people and I run into these guys). So I came back and hung with the "crew" the last set.
There's a couple of stories for you Jj, I'm sure the crew will have more than a few.
