  • Definitely one of my favorite show I've ever been too... I gave up my 3rd row seat to my best friend. He had been supposed to see PJ a few times before and kept getting shipped off to war right before the shows. So for his first show I gave him my seat and he tossed the "Veterans for Ed" sign on stage and they dedicated Army Reserve to him. What a memorable first show for him, ey??? Amazing night.

    Awesome! Me and my friends were standing right next to him and some people outside the Van Andel. Were you one of them? I remember a girl he was with broke a heel on one of her shoes and was pretty pissed, lol. One of my friends made a comment that you should have done "VEDDerans for Ed" or something like that.

    hell yeah man, the beer helped but i was on cloud 9 that whole damn show. i second the "the wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald" thing, haha. good fuckin' times.
  • good show, sat 2nd row mikes side thanks to someone with a lower # then me

    I had 2 extra tickets that I got with my 10c # that were around 10-15 rows back in the middle and I think I ended giving both away for like $40.00 as the show wasn't sold out and I wanted to go in to get to my seats
  • great show, front row on stones side. great show.
    Just, not enough.
    I need more.
    Nothing seems to satisfy.
    I said, I dont want it.
    I just need it.
    To breathe, to feel, to know Im alive.
  • i would have paid a gazzillion dollars to see some of the reactions of people who sit in the first fucking row for every show .................

    when they received their tickets.....and they were up in the balcony....

    that had to be fucking priceless......


    My favorite is from the Gorge I 06 show.

    "All the people in the front...
    All the people in the front...
    Look at the people in the back!
    LOOK at the PEOPLE in the BACK!!!!!" (because they were actually dancing/moving/reacting)

    Yeah, it was priceless. After getting my tickets I ran into another 10 Club member who "always got seats in the 5th row" and they were stuck near the back of the 10 Club seating.

    That's why the crowd had so much energy in Grand Rapids, from 10 Club mixing up the ticket distribution. They should do it more often.

    It should be an exclusive Grand Rapids thing. That would be pretty cool, hehe.

  • Anyone who got to be there is rather lucky. I agree, it really does kick ass. It's funny because I too was just listening to that show the other day.

    "Grand Rapids, Who Knew?"
    Perfect words from Eddie. It was surreal. I do think the ticket screw up had the fans in the first 10-15 rows bouncing up and down like crazy mofo's.
    The end of Alive was so ridiculously long....just the whole thing. I can't see them not doing Grand Rapids on the next tour. The 04 show in the warehouse type thing they call the Deltaplex was also insane, but this show was even more incredible.

    No doubt. Kinda makes you wonder whether it was done intentionally. I hope it was.

    Yeah, at the first Gorge show in '06, the people on the floor really were lame. I was row 9, and people were rather motionless. I'm sure the heat didn't help, but still.
