    I was in the row with that kid with the flag (that they mentioned)
    Did you see that sunset? It was magical.
    And Ed DID say we were one of the best crowds of the whole tour.

    I was 7th row center for W.P.B.,I could not get tickets for H.O.B But I was hanging out in the back with about 10 other fans listening to the whole show.Some fan saw Mike,Jeff and Matt at the Virgin store 5 minutes before I got there but already were back at the H.O.B. by the time I made it to the back.I have video of the boys coming out.They were only 6 feet away from me.I was 4th row Tampa on Mike's side and got one of his picks.It was the one he did the solo to Alive.It was an awesome weekend.

    Whoa! great seats!!!! Tampa, I was in the skylights - but didn't care was just groovin. West Palm I wanted good seats but was unable to do better than "middle of the pack", Was great though, we just danced the night away. I bought 3 sets of tickets (sold the other two for cost) just to get the seats I had.

    Didn't have club tickets then which may not have been much better anyway.

    HOB I was right on the steps center - every spot was great there. But we were packed in like sardines.

    That is so cool that you have video and have actually seen them off stage. I've always wanted to hang around the back door to catch a glimpse, but my husband never would go for it (geezer!).

    Jeeeez, i might have walk right on by you at any of these shows.

    I've been on a Shawshank kick lately, so here you go:
