I just wanted to thank the 10 club for the front row tickets in Grand Rapids. It was my 11th show and my wife's 12th.She was at the 1st Chicago show on Tuesday too(11th row).The seats are her fan club seats. We got tickets to two shows on this leg not knowing which I would feel up to attending.I am currently going thru chemo treatment for lymphoma and just had my third round of treatment on Monday following the Friday show. I was wearing my black Mike McCready shirt and got acknowledgement from Mike when he came over to our side of the stage(we stood in front of Stone).Absolutely made my night. The band was great as always and the setlist just rocked!!!I have been attending concerts since 1973 and had never been in the front row at any show.I don't know if there was a mixup with tickets @ GR but everyone around us had a great time.I just hope after completing cancer treatment I can make at least 11 more shows.Thanks so much!!!

    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Congratulations on front row! It is such an experience, I've been there once myself (in 2000). I'm so glad for you that you felt up to going, chemo is so hard on the body (my moms done it twice). Your in my thoughts for a FULL recovery and many, many, many, more PJ moments!!!!

    Every 10C'r deserves a shot at the first 20 rows. Your living proof.

    I'm glad you got to go. I was there and it was definately the show to be at! I'm sure that Mike appreciated your shirt. It's cool to get acknowledgement from the band. My Mom went through chemo so I have seen how hard it can be on someone. Hopefully you can make it to more shows. Keep on rockin!

    Congrats on your great seats.
    I was there also,sec 109, row 7.
    It was a show that, anyone who was there, will never forget.
    To see a show like that,while not knowing which one you could attend.
    Divine Intervention,my man.
    Hope everything goes well with your treatments.
    Good Luck!
    Prayin' for ya.
