Backpedaling to Landslide. Should have been a very touching, extremely moving performance. Father's Day was 2 days away, and Stevie tells the crowd how she lost her dad last year, dedicated the song to our families, tells us to be together. The song begins, the photos of Stevie & her family start rolling on the screen & a woman just behind me (so about 10 feet from Stevie) screams "Yeah! Landslide! This is for you daddy! Stevie, daddy! This is for you daddy! I lost my daddy too Stevie!" A few of us turn around, and this woman is obviously drunk. We try to gently shush her, but she keeps going. Same thing, nonsensical "Stevie daddy, this is daddy, Stevie, you're beautiful, my dad died Stevie...." Screaming. Loud. Waddy heard it, kept looking over. We try to shush her again, and the guy next to me turns around & shouts "would you shut the f*ck up." Oh ****. I understand his frustration. But. If there's one thing I learned from my parents owning bars, it's DO NOT argue with a drunk.

So, it proresses to "No, YOU shut the f*ck up!" I pat the guy on the arm, and say "let it go, please, don't let her ruin the show for you." He tries to ignore her. She yells "you don't tell me what to do, you're illegally taping the show, that's illegal." The guy was taking pics, nothing more -no flash, he wasn't being rude, and security was fine with it. He tried to ignore her, so she called him a "f*cking faggot" and pushes him. Waddy saw it, and security steps up & tells her she's out if she doesn't stop it. Guy next to me remains calm, I keep telling him "don't let her ruin this, she's drunk."

On & off for the next few songs, she'd shout something like"don't tell me to shut up...." here & there. Her friend tells guy next to me "you know, you have to understand, she really loves her, you didn't have to be rude." He starts defending himself, so I finally turn around & say "please, can everyone just let it go? You're all ruining the show for the rest of us." It settles down, but it was just terrible & uncomfortable for a while. I'm sure Stevie heard it too. Anyway, she was in tears after Landslide & her voice cracked, she had to take a moment to compose herself. I'm sure it was because of Father's Day, and not the drunken hag/rude guy. At least I hope not.

WELCOME TO SOBOBA! The same crap! Just not me. Others starting fights w/ others. Lots of yelling and pushing and AGGGGH! That crap like above but 10fold. Was so dpressing. Then the one guy repeatedly yelling to Waddy..."Expensive Wino's!!!" Whoohoo. Unreal....
