watched it last night on Jimmy Kimmel
It really was an awesome set.
I'm jealous of how close you were!
I don't know what the sections were called, but I would say we were in the 2nd section. Up front was the V.I.P. section, then it was the film crew, camera and crane section, and then our section. We were right up front of our section, maybe about 7 - 10 people deep.
I'm tall, so I had no trouble seeing the stage and the guys, but my friends that I was with were not blessed with such height, so they just caught glimpses when the crowds parted in the right way. Poor guys.
Aside from the utter bitch -- first behind me, then to the side of me, then in front of me -- I had a great time.
oh cool, so you were in the 1st 1iota pen, that's pretty decent. how early did you arrive?
I am only 5'3" so I was glad I was up front for my height, but moreso, to be up front..hehehe
We had some "pretty people" next to us. 1iota handpicked people from the back or on the streets to "look good" on camera, which is ridiculous, but they had to be standing right next to us. They were talking about Usher and stupid stuff, and they said the lead singer is Dave, right? Us fans were in shock, and just couldn't believe they got to go to the front because of how they looked, when fans had been waiting all day to get as close as possible and these idiots go to the front, and they barely showed the audience up close anyways.....booooooooooooooooooo.
the same thing happened to me at a different concert. it was kind of a red zone sort of thing where you basically pay through the nose for really great tickets. i was second row, front and center. i kept noticing no one was in front of us until right before the show started. it was these three girls who were apparently sitting on the lawn until someone pulled them to come sit up front. i paid probably ten times as much for my seats than they did but since they were hot...and the worst part is after all that fuss (the show was taped) it's still yet to see the light of day nearly four years later. i did have a great time and they weren't super annoying once the show started, but it was just the principle of the thing.We had some "pretty people" next to us. 1iota handpicked people from the back or on the streets to "look good" on camera, which is ridiculous, but they had to be standing right next to us.

did Jimmy just say '20 million people' in the streets of LA? Holy shit.
Dave got severe gastroenteritis, food poisoning. Must have had a bad birthday dinner Poor guy. Hope he recovers quickly!!! He, of all people, needs to stay hydrated since he exerts so much energy at every show. I could see him being out at least a week.
Last I heard/read, his only vice these days is cigarettes, and that was a few years ago so he may have quit since then. Other than that, he is completely sober, into health foods and drinks, does yoga and pilates regularly . . . basically he really takes care of himself these days. And you can tell! When I saw them at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel, we were first up to the rail and let me tell you . . . that man's body is AMAZING! I've never seen such flawless, alabaster skin from a torso up. Plus, he's a good 15 years older than me and in about a million times better shape! :jealous:
:worried:
They canceled their Polish show as well and, according to a Warsaw newspaper, the doctors have found bacteria in Dave that is usually present in patient's with colon cancer. .
Hopefully, he just has a really bad case of that gastrointestinewhatchacallit and the doctors are just being overly cautious. Apparently, just because that bacteria is present does not automatically mean there's colon cancer.
