He actually walked (or so it looked to me) across the front area (I'm 
guessing on seats, 1st or 2nd row?) from where he fell to about in front of 
John before he got back up on stage.  I have a couple of photos of him 
making the journey.  I'm working on getting all the photos I took those 2 
nights up on my website (around 400 pics).  Should have it up sometime next 
week
