Hi Lee. My friend and I upgraded. We were supposed to be in section 100 row 8, but we got section 300 row 14. I figured center would be better than far left, and it was. We were dead center. I don't know why they said they only had row 19 because there were 3 empty seats in my row, unless those people didn't show up. The only problem I had was that seated 2 rows directly in front of me was a giant. I had to position myself just right so my field of view was between the guy in front of me and the giant in front of him. It was fine, for the most part, except every once in a while the guy in front of me he kept getting in my way with his swaying and spaztic dancing.
If he is reading this, Buddy, dancing is cool, but maybe next time rock back and forth instead of side to side!
I noticed security was pretty strict about letting people move around. Some crazy Chris Isaak stalker girl kept sneaking up front and kept getting hauled back. It was pretty crowded up front, so I decided not to try to go up to the stage. They were only letting the first 4 rows up. My friend who is a casual Stevie fan wanted to get a closer shot of her on his cell phone so he decided to try and get closer. He is a teacher, and it turns out that one of the security people is the parent of one of his students. He told the guard up front that he knew the other security guy and they let him through. So after 20 years of going to FM and Stevie concerts and never getting the coveted hand shake, my friend manages to get one from Stevie. He won't stop talking about it either.
I thought the show was great. Stevie sounded fantastic and looked great too. It was Sharons Birthday and we sang to her. Stevie said we had to.
