To all of you in sec 93, you guys fucking rocked the house tonight.

And also, I was pretty upset that they played World Wide Suicide tonight. My mother came with me to DC and MSG I and thats all she wanted to hear. It's clearly one of her favorites songs ever. Yesterday waiting in line for posters, some verizon was station was playing it and she nearly leaped for joy when she thought it was being soundchecked. And so, the night she doesn't go, it gets played. I felt pretty horrible about it and she literally cried when I told her that it got played... though a funny moment was when she yelled FUCK YOU EDDIE VEDDER. Ahhh...

both great shows. Didn't mind the doubling up, because most people only go to 1 show. I was actually pleasantly surprised they played Alive again. Didn't expect that. I thought one of the coolest things was Stone just sitting down and watching Mike wrap up the set. he was like a fan, with the best 10 Club seat ever. It was also pretty amazing that the rest of the boys were ready to call it a night after Alive, but Mike WAS NOT leaving. He was playing Yellow Ledbetter, even if he had to play it by himself and pay a huge fine afterward.

My only gripe, same as last night.....People----you're cell phone and your digital camera take really, really shitty pictures from halfway up the floor. So you don't need to take 400 pictures, when every single picture you take blocks someone's view. The row in front of me, almost everyone in it was on their cell phone the whole fucking night. One guy even sat down for most of the first set, and was texting thewhole time. Next to him were 2 dopes, who spent the whole show either texting someone and sharing their texts with each other, or taking the absolutely shittiest pictures you'll ever see. I know they're shitty, because every time you took a picture, the camera blocked my view, and I could see how bad the picture came out

Cell phones/texting and digital cameras are really starting to ruin concerts. You're AT the show, you can wait til tomorrow to discuss it with your buddy in the nosebleeds.

hah,
so you weren't the one who sent the text message to be posted on the big board that said that West Islip was in the house, or something like that? LOL
I know there was a couple next to me on their Iphones all night, I was wondering if they were texting to each other instead of talking

instead of seeing lighters glowing now you see the blue cell phone lights glowing! It's very strange to me.

nope, not me. Pretty funny though. I just don't get it. maybe I'm just a crotchety old man. I just don't see a point of going to the show, and spending all night on the phone. At one point, in the row in front of me, 5 guys in a row were using their phone for various reasons.

I think we must be 'old school' and remember when people went to concerts to listen to music

I noticed a lot of guys on their phones too,

and then they discuss it with their buddies, so I thought maybe it is a guy thing and I do not understand? I don't know?

I was a bit underwhelmed after the first night, there was nothing WRONG with MSG II but the energy from the first night seemed stronger. And there was a lot of the same songs (not entirely) as well. Ace Frehley (sp?) was a nice surprise but well, I didnt need to go both nights I now feel.

And I'm pissed about how they handled posters and that the person I sold my 10C ticket to (at face) didnt even use the seat but hung out with some of his friends and did not pass the ticket to anyone who could have used it. I think he sat in the nosebleeds and my extra seat in section 78 was empty. Lame. Very Lame.
