September 23 - Devore, CA @ Hyundai Pavilion (KROQ's Inland Invasion 2006)

People were obviously exaggerating then, because I was told they were lighting everything they could on fire.. I did personally see a bottle that flew toward the front of Loge 5 (where I was) that was partly melted and you could smell it, but I suppose it's possible all they threw as a t-shirt..

On a lighter note:

Where was the soundboard located at this show?

Hey Jerry, the soundboard was surrounded by barricades in the aisle between Loge 7 and 6.

Garry and I were trying to think of ways to steal the soundboard.. but then we realized it was being broadcast online.

Remember?  That shit was fucking hilarious!

Jack: Duuuude, we gotta get the soundboard.
Garry: It's being webcast, stupid!

(pause)

Garry: Let's do it!

[JeRrYFaR]

ROFLMAOFH!!!!

The reason I ask, is because I'm about 98.9% positive that's my voice yelling "Yeeeeeeeah" when Madagascar is starting.. I know I was really excited when they played that and it was a slow part..

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Haha, good times.  It took my voice a few days to recover, I was screaming the whole time.  Jack and I sounded like we had been smoking a carton of cigarettes everyday for 30 years.

I wonder if any of our voices made it to the final cut? 

[JeRrYFaR]

Dunno, but I was in Loge 5, and it's definitely close enough for the soundboard to pick up voices, 'specially when everyone else is silent at that time.. lol

Man I wish all of us could have hung out.. that would've been the shit..

Edit:

I was close to Loge6 by that time as I was slowly moving more toward the left.. hehe

I hope the cameras showed us moshing to Paradise City, we were right behind the soundboard whilst engaging in the mosh.  I gotta watch the whole show and listen and see if I made it on to the show! 

[JeRrYFaR]

I almost wonder if the cameras caught my wife and I, because on Paradise City we had actually jumped over the railing and were going nuts (well I was anyway) in those special seating areas they had right there..

I have NEVER had so much fun at a concert in my life, and I've been to A LOT of concerts.. Hell, Iron Maiden didn't even come close to that..

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

GN'R blew me away.  I knew we were in for a treat, but I never imagined they would be so good.  I can't wait to go nuts on the 17th and 19th.  And we can finally have an organized meetup.

[JeRrYFaR]

I have GOT to get tickets for those.. well, at least one of them.. who knows though.. maybe when CD comes out next month?! they'll add more venues on the tour like Cricket Pavilion or Glendale Arena here in Phx..

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Yeah, the timing sucks for those shows.  Sunday and Tuesday night?  WTF!? 

[JeRrYFaR]

WTF is right.. I can't go to those.. damn.. oh well.. I'm at work incidentally, and that's why I haven't replied for a while..
