Wildheart,
Not surprised to hear that they threw those guys out. There was some woman from our row who got thrown out because she tried 2x to go to the stage. She wasn't acting crazy or even drunk just determined. Felt kinnda bad for her. They treated the tribal members like royalty didn't they. Not only did they get the primo mid-section seats, but they actually roped that area off and that is why we had to stand off sides. Glad you got a hand-shake cause all I got was pictures. Made up for it though last night at the Honda Center, as you well know since we stood right next to each other, and got a grab-on hand shake.
Last year, for Don Henley's show, I actually got very close to the middle before one of the tribal members got mad and literally put the rope up herself but they let me stand at the stage all night right beside their section taking videos and pictures without a peep.
I was able that night to record "Boys of Summer" in its entirety. So you can imagine I how shocked I was at how intense security was for Friday night's show. Did one of the security guards sit at the stage between your section and the middle section too? As I said in another thread, I actually had a security guard sitting right next to me all night.
Glad you made it last night too! What a small world that we ended up right next to each during the Edge walk.
And, weren't we lucky that the rain held off until late last night to move in. The whole ride out to Indio Friday night I kept praying the rain would stay in Ventura County and it did! I hate driving out to the Springs alone at night anyway, as some parts are pretty desolate, let alone in the rain. God rocks!
