This was a great time! My personal favorite from the night, "Waiting On A Friend", as it is one of my favorite Stones tunes, and it was great to hear Ed sing it. He spent a good part of the show with a Red Sox helmet on backwards. Theo Epstein actually brought out two World Series trophies during "Rockin' In the Free World" and handed them to the crowd, who promptly passed them around and (maybe?) broke a few of the flags. I got some shaky video of Theo and Ed during Free World and you can see Theo getting really nervous and waving the crowd to bring the trophies back to the front of the stage. Ed & Theo both (gently) jumped into the crowd for some crowd surfing at the end. Bernie Williams sounded pretty good, as did Peter Gammons for an old fella'. Ed went on maybe 'round 11 pm and they ended at just about 1:15 a.m. All in all a great experience, as several Red Sox players all mingled with crowd for varying lengths of time. Met Kevin Youkilis, Dustin Pedroia, Hanley Ramirez (an enormous dude), Theo Epstein, and others.
