    So...I was there, in the front row. Never felt such a pressure anywhere else before or after...I decided to shoot my film and leave through security area. Lots and lots of ppl crowd surfing over me doing the same thing: leaving. After the band stopped, confusion and then a massive flow of ppl started coming over me. After a while security stood up and made a barricade in front of the security area. Saw some man getting CPR. Luckily found my friends after some time. Here's a photo:

    The crazy thing is that I went to Europe to go and see them w/ a friend. We had tix to the next show which was another festival show. Sucked that I went all the way to Europe and couldnt see them - A horrible accident - but was glad that the band was able to deal w/ such a horrible accident.

    I got back from Berlin last night. That was one of the most emotional shows I've been to. Seeing Ed break down and Stone coming over to console him just broke my heart :(

    I can't even imagine what it must have been like 10 years ago when it happened.

    How many people on here were actually there that night? What did you experience?

    wow

    Relax. I think what the guy is saying is that it sucks to spend all that money on lodging, travel, tickets, etc. and then find out that the show is canceled. He also realizes that canceling those shows was the only option. The tragedy did put him in a horrible spot, but he was glad that the band could deal with the horrible situation.
