Encores.....Love Bites.... Let's Get Rocked.
The concert----best one yet!!!! Joe---black leather pants--black glittery shirt--and did he hit the high notes!!!!!!!! Yeah baby!!! He was so full of energy! Someone threw a bra on stage--Joe picks it up when Viv is on the other side and hangs it from Viv's mic....when Viv comes back--he starts to laugh and bites at the bra hanging there! It was great!!!!
Phil---keep his white shirt on for 3 songs! He kept chasing Viv around the stage! Someone flashed them and Phil nodded nicely and smiles--Joe says--"Does your mother know you do that?"
Sav---Sav is Sav! Black bellybutton length shirt--low cut blue designs jeans--hand on his forehead--look around sexy thing! Twice Sav and Viv keep walking around Rick's drums---Rick kept trying to follow them..afraid they might do something! Sav got the giggles--it was so cute!
Viv! He did this little hop backwards spread his legs--kinda like the splits and then hop forward--closing his legs!!!! He did not take off his Nike shirt.....he must have a scratch down his chest! LOL LOL
Rick---sigh---there are just NO words---No words at all to say! He is the THUNDERGOD!!!! He never stopped smiling....never missed a beat. He was having petal problems--but he keep right on moving! Poor Jerry earned his money that night! I have to say--I will NEVER get tired of watching and listening to him play! YOU ARE THE THUNDERGOD!!!! Thank You!
As the concert ends--Rick comes down from the drums--smiling---doing his thumbs up thing---I move closer--and when Rick gets to my side--he sees my Raven sign!!!! He points to his shirt and mine--smiles...and gives me a thumbs up! THUD! I'm noticed! He points to the sign and says "Thank you!" THUD!!! Noticed again!
Ok--so they do the encore--Rick comes down from the drums again--I hand my husband Bill the camera....and he does NOT take good pictures...no choice. I move to the front row, Raven checks in hand. As Rick gets closer--I tell the nice man behind the wall--to hand the checks to Rick---he tries. Rick glances at the checks..sees me with my shirt and sign and says to me "Give it to the guy on your left." And of course I say real intellegent like "WHAT??" And again Rick smiles..points to the man and says--"Give it to the man on your left." He gives me a thumbs up and contiunues with the guys. I hand the checks to the guy on my left--a stage hand--and the man says..."Rick really appreciates this. Don't leave--if he can get away-he will come out to say HI." THUD!!!!!
Ok. So now Rick has recieved the donation to Raven! I'm waiting-----the nice security guard saw me talking to the stagehand and never asked us to leave. The stage guy comes out and said that Rick had to do radio junk and that he was sorry he couldn't come out, but that he greatly appreciate the checks. He shook my hand and left.
Bill took picture of Rick while we were having the who to give the check to conversation. Let's hope they come out! (See above picture)
So now it's time to leave...we are bad.....it is pouring rain...and I have to work...I've been to 3 concerts in 4 days--I'm tired...we do not chase down the buses---but---my mission of getting the Raven check to Rick worked. I got noticed by Rick--thanks to Raven shirt and sign....and I got to have a slight--better than none--conversation with the MAN!!! I also got the thumbs up and that beautiful Allen smile directly to me! THUD!
This Lep fan/Allen lover---is one happy Lep! They all did a wonderful job---each one had their own special thing they did--they gave everyone special memories!!!
To Def Leppard---thank you!!! you ARE number 1!!!!
And to Rick Allen--thank you for making this lady's dream! You pointed to my shirt and sign...you gave me a thumbs up and smile---we had a brief convo--but you never know how much you touched me!!! You are my hero! and I thank you!!
Rick Allen-Thundergod......
Forever in my heart and soul.....
Always loved.......
