Does this happen at every show?

    I was front row centre at the 3rd Sydney concert last year. Mike certainly gave the people in the front much more eye contact than Eddie, but during DTE he gave me a look and a smile, and poked his tongue out as he was going off and doingthe screaming part. The smile he gave me was unreal. He knew we were havibg a great time because we were singing and dancing like mad during the whole concert, but you could tell from that smile that he was also having a great time.

    I can't wait till they come out here again. I have opened a savings account, and put a little money aside each pay to get to as many shows as I can. THIS BAND ROCKS.

    I noticed this at Chicago 1 last year...I think during one of the longer jams, like Alive or Porch, Ed lit up a cigarette and just took a stroll around the stage...it was kind of theatre in the round, so he took his time looking around at the crowd behind the stage, then he strolled over to my side (I was in the third balcony, right next to the stage), and he shaded his eyes with his hand and looked up at all of us for the longest time. My friend and I went nuts and started waving at him like mad, and he waved back...whether it was directly to us or to the whole crowd I'm not sure, but that was a totally awesome thing to do! I love how he interacts with the audience.

    I would love to have met Mike or Ed, but unfortunatly I haven't. I have "met" Stone, if you can really call it a meeting. It lasted only a few seconds, but it was pretty cool. A friend and myself were one of maybe 15 people waiting outside of a little club before a Brad show on their 2002 tour, and the tour bus was parked out front. We didn't know they were in the bus, we thought they were probably inside. But they came out, one by one, saying hi to all of us, Regan gave everybody in line some Brad stickers. Stone came by and shook hands with everybody, and said hi. So it was cool, he shook my hand and said hello, but he wasn't really making eye contact with anybody, it was like he was kind of shy about it. When he shook my hand it looked like he was reading my T-shirt or something, even though it was a plain shirt with no writing.

    So that was a cool experience, followed by what was probably the best show I've ever seen. And I was against the stage right in front of Stone, I could have pulled off one of his shoes if I had felt like being an idiot. But he didn't look at anybody, or interact with the crowd, he just looked at the other guys in the band, down at his pedals, or at his guitar. The only emotion I saw out of him the whole night was between songs he was handing the roadie the acoustic he had been playing and switching off for an electric, and somebody yelled "MANKIND!!" which made him start cracking up. He also seemed to perk up when he was playing drums on "Revolution"
