My Review / Notes:
A great show at one of the most unlikely places to have a concert. As I had a GA ticket, I ended up somewhere on the field on Patti's side about 40 rows back or so - the middle of the field. I was there with a few friends and we all had a great time. The people around us were casual fans, if fans at all. At one point they nearly ruined the evening as they were telling one of my friends off for jumping up and down too much. Throughout the show, I'd been telling the woman in front of me the names of some of the songs and answered a few of her questions. During LOHAD, when Bruce tells everybody to put their hands in the air, I obviously did exactly that, and told the woman to do so too. When her reply was "why would I?" I realized that she obviously didn't "get it". The people behind me were a lot more friendlier and seemed very amused when I asked them if me jumping up and down during Dancing The Dark was bothering them (which they said it wasn't).
I had a great time at the show and Bruce seemed to have a lot of fun.
