I was the very lucky guy in the front row that Eddie poured wine to at MSG 1. He poured about half a bottle in it. I shared it with the other fans around me who had cups, and drank the rest. It was Simi Cabernet if anyone was curious.

Here is the shot of me:

I only took a couple pics during the show, but here is one of the better ones. Sorry for the low res, I took the pics with my iPhone.

If anyone has a photo of Eddie pouring me wine that night, please pm me. I would love to have a pic of that.

    this should be sticky-ed

    as to it answers the much asked question of 'what wine does ed drink?'

    :D

    we were watching as Ed poured the wine into your cup, as well as the cups of those around you who attempted to get some of the vino. i recall Ed working his way from cup to cup when someone gestured for Ed to pour some of the wine into a cup that was 3/4 full of beer,...the "WTF?!" look on Ed's face was priceless :D

    I got the "COME ON!" look from Ed, when he was walking offstage and I held my cup out for more. Oh well. I don't think he'll hold it against me.

    After the show ended, my friend and I moved toward the nearest exit. We were on Stone's side, so the right as you are looking at the stage. So we just kind of followed the crowd through a doorway with an exit sign. It was very crowded, but when we finally broke through we realized we had slipped backstage. When I say backstage, we were actually backstage, past that VIP lounge. We were in the bowels of MSG by all the craft service tables with the food. Then Boom walked by. He had already recognized me in the crowd during the show when he was off the stage. Kind of a long story that I may post on another thread, but anyway I gave him a big hug and told him I really enjoyed his work on Crazy Mary that night and asked if he would play it the next night. He said thanks and then proceeded to grab some food. We kind of stood around, obviously in the wrong spot, then security told us we could not be back there without a pass, and kindly showed us to the elevator.
