Went to a great show last night

[infernalis]

Saw Peter Frampton & Yes. VIP passes allowing me to watch the whole show from a tower above the mixing desk, got to be right there with the lighting guys. It was awesome.

By the time YES took the stage it was dark out, so it was really hard to get clean pictures.

Lucky SOB! I bet that was a sweet show.:yes:

[infernalis]

Frampton played "Black Hole Sun" & "While My guitar gently weeps" along with his hits "Feel Like I do" , "Show Me The Way" , etc.

For a geriatric, the mans fret fingers were still fast as lightning.

YES played all the 70's classics only, it was sweet. Chris Squire hammered that bass (like always) in ways that no one else ever could.

I forgot to take a jacket, and when the sun went down it got cold sitting up in the air on that tower.

This is how close I was to the one light guy.....

He did it in his own way with the solo, was a good cover and a lot better than i had imagined. He is definetely still rockin on, would of been a good concert to go to.

[infernalis]

I will never forget the show.... It was sweet.

and I have been to a lot of concerts, this is the first time I ever got to be up on the lighting tower over the mixing desk.

My daughter knows the owner of the venue, so my father's day present was free VIP privileges and admission.

All I had to pay for was the gas to drive to the show ;)

[percey39]

Ah you cant complain with that deal at all, free tickets and vip might i add, great seats and great music.

[infernalis]

about the only bummer was as soon as I had that big yellow bracelet on, I was not searched on the way in, I could have taken my Sony Hi8 video cam and a tripod without any hassles.

In fact the pro photographer that was up on the tower had the very same pass I was wearing.....

But how was I to know??

[percey39]

Its always the way, if you had of it would of been confiscated lol

[infernalis]

Yeah, and the few clips I did get are better than nothing at all. :)

[percey39]

Thats it, at least with the clips you got you still got me very jealous lol

[infernalis]

A little bit of YES "Close to the edge"
