Yeah but security guards can't get into the audience either so then you can take video all you want. They can't stop you. Plus if you get up front, then Al will most likely sing to you because he only sings to the people near the stage. That's why it's smart to get to the theater very early.

After standing for that Detroit show, I was so sore. Give me seats, please. Also, Al doesn't just sing to people near the stage. Most SRO shows, he won't even perform WBUL, because he likes to go into the audience. I'm looking very forward to seeing Al at Meadowbrook, because I'll get to sit, and I'll still have a great view, no matter where I'm sitting.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

Yeah those standing only concerts are pretty hard on your feet. My dad and I went to one and we stood in line for 2 hours outside of the theater because we were waiting for them to let us in the venue. Then we stood for another hour waiting for the show to start. We stood for the whole 2 hr 45 min show, and then stood for another half hour outside waiting for the meet and greet. So that is a total of 5 hours and 15 minutes of standing. It was so worth it though.

People who don't want to stand for Al aren't true fans.

That's why the true fans stand around at the bus after the show ;)
You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

Or stand in line for the passes so they don't have to stand for the bus :P

Yep I stand by the bus after every show I go to. And next time I go to a show, I'm bringing a Rock Hall petition so I can get people to sign it.
