Experience Of A Lifetime - Bridgeport

Wow. Wow.

I was first row tonight, and I was infront of Lindsey the whole night. It was awesome - few things before I die asleep is that I got to shake his hand, play his guitar and get him to sign my L&O vinyl. YES!

P.S. When Mick was doing his drum solo a big wad of his spit flew onto my hand. Everyone saw it and laughed - bizzare.

I'm out.

Mick's acting like a spitting cobra? I thought Peter Green sang that he was a rattlesnake.

Glad you enjoyed the show.

Yea, I am back. The whole night was unreal. I finally got to be front row and interact with the band. Lindsey is CRAZY - especially when he did that carry-over dance from Tusk into Stand Back like he was being posessed.

hold up a sign at the beginning of Mick's solo that says "Say it...Dont spray it"...LMAO!!!

Glad ya liked it...I actually own a real "CatDog", Well actually she (Her name is "Shioban") is a white furred full-blood "Scottish Fold" (A cool breed of cat who's ears are folded forwarded thus looking kinda like a dog), So she is a real CatDog...LOL!!!

Glad you had a great time! Bridgeport was awsome last night. I was watching Lindsey dancing during that drum solo before Stand Back, and just thinking WTF?! The man really is out of his mind!

I'm so glad that you had a great time! The second leg of this tour is *amazing.*

I was at Bridgeport last night too only not front row

. But we were in row 6 first row and we could really see the stage good. Have to say, as usual, AWESOME show. The crowd was great for the most part and the energy unbelievable. Lindsey was amazing!!!! I also loved his Tusk dance and his "wiggles" during the beginning of Stand Back. BG- I saw that huge wad of spit go flying and wondered "Who got it?". And I love how the roadie guy comes out and wipes off Lindseys mike!!!

I gotta say that there really wasn't much interaction between LB and SN. Except for the usual hug after Landslide and Tusk slow dance which they seem to be doing at every show. What happened to sponteneity Lindsey?

It was also fun watching everyone towards the back try to move forward. The security guy near us was pretty good natured about it, but it is amazing what people will try to get away with. Me, I took about 4 pictures before they threatened to take my camera away. Oh Well!!!!

All of you holding tickets for the rest of the tour.......you lucky dogs!!!! Especially if you have front row!! The second half of the tour is even better than the first. I would travel more to see them if I wasn't pregnant with my 2nd child!!! Morning sickness is actually all day!!!! The 2 1/2 hour drive to and from wasn't great and Bridgeport definately isn't my idea of a vacation spot, but the Arena was pretty nice.

I wasn't close up but I agree with what you all have said. What ENERGY! So much more than the Worcester show in May. Did any of you see the Mini Bucks pop their heads up to the right of the stage during "Come"? Leelee looked like she had a nightgown on. Too cute. And she turned away to go back downstairs during "Gypsy" on the line "She is dancing away from you now." That girl has excellent timing, LOL.

I also wanted to add this:

SO! After the show, my friend and I are like, Damn we should try and get something from off the stage, but we couldn't figure out how to get to the floor. So we decide to go outside and around to the stage door. We see some limos and town cars and vans. No one has stopped us, but we don't see anyone. We keep looking around and finally we decide we should go up front a bit, because there's only one road in and out, so we know they have to pass where we were standing. Then we wait and wait and a limo comes out and whizzes by. That was like 11:15 so we knew it couldn't be any Mac people. Too early. We slowly walk back and are stopped by security. He was OK. Could have been nicer, we just said we wanted to wave to them, and that was all...but he said we had to go. I asked, "Are they leaving soon?" and he told us yes. We saw some people loading things in the trunks of the cars. So we knew we had a chance of at least waving to them. I wanted to know who was in that first limo but I would be pushing my luck. We walk up a bit and wait and wait...then the police lights were flashing (yes, they had a police escort) and there were about four town cars...the first few didn't have anyone recognizable (is that a word?) in them but we were waving, because hey, you never know! Then we see JOHN MCVIE! And we're waving like crazy and he saw us and even though we were on the left and he was sitting on the right, he made a huge effort to wave, by sticking his whole arm practically out the window. We both cheered and I was like, HI JOHN!!!! LOL I'm a goofball. Then there were two big vans and then two stretch limos. We couldn't see in the limos, and the vans didn't have any one I could recognize. I'm thinking one limo was Stevie and her entourage...but who else could have a limo was beyond me. There was a car that went out earlier but we looked and no one was in it except the driver so we knew there was none of that Stevie sneaking out in a non-limo crap.

Hey Pattie,

Were you on Lindsey's or Stevie's side in the front row in Boston? I was on Stevie's
