Hey! Another ex amwa-er... cool! Yeah, I'm definitely sticking around here... the live Al experience has shaken me out of my Al slumber (not that I ever went into complete hibernation, mind you!) and given me an insatiable hunger to devour all things related to AL... I mean, the man is pure genius, after all.

It was nice meeting you too, Yankomaniac! Great to meet another fan from Ontario.

That's probably true most of the time, but I don't think it's weird that they were sitting in the audience. Suzanne sat in the middle of the audience with her dad and a bunch of friends in Ventura, CA last summer.

One reason she might have been sitting in the back row was to see how the concert was from the audience's point of view. Sitting all the way in back might also help prevent her from being recognized and/or bothered during the show.

And it keeps Nina out of the cameras view. I know she is seen alot lately, I'm sure they are still taking precautions

Yeah, they're definitely still taking precautions. That's cool if they, in fact did, get to see the show from the audience point-of-view. Especially such a great, important one.

The filming crew and director did such a great job with this show. They had cameras stationed all throughout the theater. Even a crane camera in the back. But, all of those were in front of the last row in the back, so Nina would definitely be out of the way of the cameras there.

You keep saying they did a great job, but how do you know? I mean aside from it not being announced that they need to re film it. I guess if they didnt point the cameras at the ceiling or floor, they would pretty much get the job done, right?

It just really looked like they were doing a great job with how many different angles, ways that it was being shot. I have a feeling that it is going to be SO much better than the last Live DVD.

Also, getting to talk to the film crew and Wayne Isham after the show, about their vision and how each show turned out...trust me...they did a great job.

BTS: Massey Hall Cheerleaders

Mmmm cheerleaders

Another cool write-up from the cheerleaders! They definitely seem like they were big fans. Kind of weird that they weren't able to get any pics or autographs. Even I was able to be backstage after the show, and I know that the 501's always meet him. I had found one previously from the other cheerleader. Definitely understand what she was saying about nervousness and excitement. From the time that we left Niagra Falls the night before heading toward Toronto, I wasn't able to think of anything else, but the shows the next day. That anything you do was going to be filmed, especially for them since they were on for a whole song straight. Mainly just how important this whole day was, in itself. Such an amazing time. Then, to cap it off with seeing Steve and Al. Perfect day.
