Don't forget Roger's tumble when he tripped over his monitor and then remained
lying on the stage floor for awhile, just staring at the sky! Droppin' mikes in
Detroit, doing his wrestlin' moves in PNC!

I talk to people before the show and say you'll be singing, dancing, laughing &
crying. Not a bad setlist for the partakers!

Although Pete's moment of insanity was ignored by the video crew, when he said
"I'm sorry to you fans in the back but let's shut of the video for one song (as
the lights was bothering him)." They shut off the offending light, but as far as
I noticed, the video feed continued.

These people got caught last night. The current VIP tix system is really
unacceptable. When I went to p/u my vip tix, I saw Alan open his envelope and out
pops a Gold VIP pass. I started salivating on the possibilities. A few moments
later I get and open my envelope only to find a fuckin' tix to Row V in Section
101. I was devastated. So, I check the seating chart and realize it a ticket in
the 22nd row! I immediately go back and inform the tix guy that this must be a
mistake as the VIP guarantees the 1st 20 rows! So this guy goes away with my tix
and comes back with another envelope! Wow, what's in it? So I open it and the
fuckin tix in now in Row Y. Row Y the 25th row!!! I go back with fire in my eyes
and tell him: You don't go backwards when you're upgraded, get me the manager!!!
So the manager comes out and I am lit up like a 4th of July fireworks show and
when he says to me, if you only knew how to communicate and calm down maybe we
can solve this! So in about a nanosecond later I apologize for venting and
expressing my huge disappointment to him. And then he hands me a ticket that puts
me in the first row, directly in front of Pete!

Actually, that was when Roger handed his harmonica to a baby boy, who was being
held by father (or mother) and when he reached down I was about 1 foot away from
him when he did it! It was awesome! They flashed to this kid on the video screens
and it was a special moment! Very special.

All in all it was one of the greatest days/nights of my humble 49 years. LLR,
