Amazing behind the stage **Philly**

Hi All:

I was at both nights in Philly with an old and dear friend, another set of shows I will love forever. Sadly, I was not able to get 10C seats, so I purchased behind the stage. At first I was worried what having such strange seat would be like, I thought at least I am in the audience with someone who means a great deal to me. But, after two nights I have to say the view and the perspective was AMAZING. I have photos that are better than I have gotten in a long time, so maybe I would not sit there every time, but once in a while it is a GREAT VIEW!!!

I have the photos of what the band sees. I was able to capture moments where they look at each other and WE never see. It was GREAT!!!

Also, I got the Happy Birthday sign. As I organize and import into iPhoto tonight I will post more, but first I need to start my laundry.

    I sat behind the stage once in 2006 but all the way up. I had two friends who sat behind the stage in the lower bowl and they raved about it. So I'm hoping I can sit there for a show sometime.

    I shot them using a RAW format so you should be able to get VERY close. I was using a Canon EOS-M Mirrorless Digital Camera with EF-M 18-55mm. If you PM me I will be happy to share the RAW files :-)

    This is a great photo. Is it okay if I use it as my wallpaper/ Facebook photo?

    Amazing photo! For me as a guitar player would be really cool to see how they use their pedalboards and switch their effects, between the songs. Thanks for the photo, we're waiting for more :)

    I was at East Rutherford 2 in 2006. Seats behind stage, center low. It was incredible. Blew me away. The sound was off the charts good. I have reserved 10C seats for Dallas. I am considering trying to track down a couple of seats behind stage and have option of where to sit. Maybe lightning will strike twice. Behind stage, birds eye view of Cameron on drums is pretty hard to beat
