    LUCKY me... I scored SECOND ROW CENTER seats, right in front of Mike...

    I COULD have died...and gone to heaven...it was that good!!!!!
    I was alone and far away when I heard the band start playing!

    ...I was always a DeadHead, but when I first heard Winston Rodney, aka the Burning Spear, sing, I became a SpearHead too!

    Actually, during the first set break... I went to the rest room. As I was heading back to my seat on the floor, Security and EMT's came into the lobby area and had a Guy in a neckbrace on a stretcher. The kid was all bloodied up and looked unconscious.......


    Hope he ended up ok.....

    I heard a rumor that Boom left an upper decker in the concourse men's room during the first encoure. It hasn't been verified, though.

    What swan dive, when?
    I was in section 110 and saw nothing like that happen.
    I guess I could have missed it, but very unlikely.

    I was in section 110 also and I didn't see or hear anything like this.

    I fell pretty hard during the show. Can't remember what song it was, but it was about 3/4 through the show and I was really pumped. I was in the 6th row on Stone's side, just off the floor next to the stage. I stood on the railing in front of me and then accidently lost my balance, falling headfirst into the guy in front of me and landing on my back. Funniest thing though is that the guy goes to help me up and we realize that we know each other from work.....what a small world, we were both cracking up. When Eddie tripped a couple songs later, the guy behind me grabs me on the shoulder and says, "hey man, Eddie's doing his best impression of you!" Funny stuff.......good section, people were rockin' out.

    my brother and i were next to you...i believe...section 120?

    I saw the car that was wrecked right near the Arena. That was one of the worst post accident scenes I have ever seen. Upside down,all glass blown out. By the time I passed, there was noone in the car, just 20 or so fireman milling around the car. I'd be pretty surprised if the driver survived

    Also, I would not be surprised at all if someone tumbled down those steps. saturday wasn't as bad as Thursday though, when it was so muggy that it seemed as if it rained inside the arena making the steps superslick. I almost wiped 3 seperate times on one trip down to the 4th row

    not sure at the show but i did hear from my buddy that there was a near fatal car accident on the turnpike ( or maybe the Parkway ) northbound on the way home afterwards.

    friggin weather blew bigtime .

    the show(s) were fantastic tho .

    Yeah, if we are talking about the same accident, it looked pretty bad. Dude flipped his car over. I saw one guy just standing there that looked like he had been in the car, but looked okay. Then there were a whole bunch of firefighters huddled around something, but I don't know if it was a person....

    On RT 17 North? When I drove by I saw the cops talking to the driver who was still hanging upside down in his seat....looked like he was going to be fine. That's why the Ford Taurus got a 5 Star crash rating......

    Hahahaha...I was thinking the same thing!!! I was in section 109 row 6 and I can assure you that there is no clear diving path to the stage area let alone the back stage area...hahaha! Great view of the stage though!
    I was 109 row 6 too! Seats 10 and 11. There's definitely no way you could jump from there to the back stage area but they were outstanding seats.

    considering there is no north at that juncture for the parkway, i vote turnpike.

    and the weather after the show was "not rain".

    He dry docked one at Camden I, in honor of the USS Philadelphia. It stunk up the whole side of the venue. I heard he went top shelf in Theo Epstein's medicine cabinet after Boston II as well.

    Me & my buddy were driving home north on Rt.17 & a cop flew passed us and then right after the turn off for Teterboro (next to the gas station) there was a tan car flipped over (maybe a newer Taurus) with all the windows blown out, tons of cop cars, fireman, etc. I have to agree with everyone sadly, it looked like a really bad accident :( I hope everyone was OK
    Oh, if I knew where it was, I would take you there, but there's much more than this.
    Ooooh. Whoooa, much more than this. Woooh see the world. Much more than... Oooh, much more than.. Why?
