YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! I'm on the DVD!!!!

[conversationpc]

So, Rip, is this your big screen debut?

What this is, is the making of a classic Cain-penned Journey anthem about a boy from a small town who keeps on believin' and holding onto his dreams, takes a chance and buys a tacky $10 shirt at Puff's $12.00 Zoo (yes, it was even cheaper than $12... haha!), makes a pilgrimage to Las Vegas and ends up immortalized for eternity on a Journey DVD that is sold in every Wal Mart in existence... This is the pinnacle of redneck existence!

I froze the frame and showed the wife this morning, pointing out her little head -- she thought that was cool!

Welcome to the "Crowd Shot Club"! I made my debut in the credits for Kansas' "Device Voice Drum" DVD. I went to Atlanta to see that show with a buddy of mine. It's not a real clear shot, but I'm there.

[journey062393]

My wife is in about 10-15 shots and of course I'm probably in about 4 or 5. Did get a really good shot of the back of my head from the camera that was about 2 rows behind me. Good thing I got all prettied up! You can see us pretty clear at the very end when the guys come to center stage after the last song. I'm wearing an all white shirt and my wife has a black and white patterned shirt. Your eyes kind of go right to us because she leans in to me to say something to me as the camera is panning.

My other question. I dont mean to sound stupid but just exactly how do you get a screen capture?

Cool Rip! Would be pretty darn hard to miss that shirt in the crowd.

Just caught what appears to be WIX and Maui Tom at 14:30, right after "Lights" -- cool! I remember WIX's shirt, because we had dinner together that night.

Damn so I really DID go to this shindig! Awesome...Mahalo for the find Rip...mine didn't come today....price I pay sometimes for living on a ROCK in the Pacific...

[hoagiepete]

Me, my wife, and my best friend. 22 years earlier, when we were just teenagers, we saw Journey in San Diego, during the Raised On Radio Tour.

Anyways, I'll post a screen cap later.

Dude...did they edit me out????? Man!

SWEET! Yessir, that's the shot! Another confirmed sighting!

[Maui Tom]

hey they got BOTH of my chins too!

Mahalo pRick!

[Rip Rokken]

I had experts examine this picture, and they confirmed that Maui Tom was not looking at the band... looks like he's poised for a little Butt Bongo action!

[Rick]

Is this the one of you Rip? Sorry I couldn't get it clearer.

I was ranked 6th in the NATION in Butt Bongo in 1976....

[Rip Rokken]

You got it! Looks white in a still shot, but in the video you can tell it's reflecting the light. Can't remember which, but I was texted during the show by either Gayle or Rhiannon telling me they could see me all the way across the venue, and I could land airplanes with that shirt... LOL!

[faith20yrs]

We were in the front, but off to the left side. I hid behind Gayle whenever I saw a camera so I don't know if they captured me or not

That may have been you! I know one thing -- there is some blonde wearing a gold shirt in the front row that got featured pretty well throughout the disc...

LOL... Hey RR - Friend of that blonde checking in nice to "see ya again!" Although I was disappointed not to meet Dokken again while we were in Vegas, it was great to meet YOU! I just wanted to say thanks to you guys on MR for that great screen shot of Wix and Maui Tom. It's .... precious..... congrats on making the DVD!!

[dpjourneygirl]

Hey, what's up, girl? It was a pleasure meeting you there. That wasn't you in the gold shirt, was it? Or was it just a friend of yours? I thought I remembered you being a very cute brunette! Thanks for stopping by and saying hi in our neck of the woods. Here's a little something special just for you:

Awh, thanks for the smile! Vegas was a blast. Are you talking about the girl on the end of the isle? Sleeveless gold shirt? If so, I was next to her... I am a brunette, black jacket, red shirt... Tall girls on the end of the front row...

[Rip Rokken]

Gotcha! Yes, that's the one. I'm about to watch it again and pay closer attention, so no doubt I'll find ya this time. That girl got one really good closeup at one point -- she was practically the only one in that shot.

Hey, btw... speaking of friends... take this bit of wisdom from Rip with you on your journeys: Any true friend of yours would have thanked you profusely for waking up to find Don Dokken on her doorstep!



Any chance you are going to the show in Dallas in July? A bunch of us will be there.

LMAO!! I've only wished I could re-live that night! Not very many could appreciate that story the way you do
Not going to Dallas... darn! I'm in Utah, will hit an Iowa show, and then probably Seattle or LA. We'll meet up again, somewhere!!
