    I was on the rail that split the crowd in half ( pretty close up- got to main stage and stayed there at 2). Jay, Beyonce, and Ron Howard all walked right by me and I had something to lean on all day long :D. Plus didn't need to worry about someone getting in front of me. Amazing show. They killed it. Noticed some odd ways to end the songs- like they were just a little bit off with timing. Probably because it's their first show in a month with (I think) just one rehearsal. Man these guys were amazing last night and I'm already itching for another show.

    I took the shuttle from the Mann in and got to my spot around 12:25. I was right in front of Mike, one person behind the rail, but it was as good as the rail considering I got to look between the two people in front of me, also considering how tightly packed we were. It was amazing. Being so close makes you fall in love all over again. Stood for 11 hours with no food, no bathroom, very little water, and a bunch of rain but it was all so totally worth it. Got to meet Ron Howard and shake his hand, also had to sign a release to be in his film. I was jumping and dancing like an idiot, and several times Ron tapped the cameraman and had him film me! Got to meet him during the encore break, very down to earth. He geeked out when Mike threw him a pick and totally lost it when Ed gave him his wine bottle! Amazing show. Best rendition of Black I ever heard--- Mike's solo killed it and I don't know what Ed was saying at the end but it was intense. LOVED it when Jay-Z came out!! I'm so sore today from all the standing around and jumping during the show but it was all totally worth it to be so close. Thank you PJ!!!!
