Ever been front row at a concert?

[Deb]

What, are you new here? Some of us do ONLY front row ... legitimate tickets; bribing people with beer chits; elbows, hips, whatever it takes ...

You know it! And some of us even become impromtu mic stand techs. And this gal is hoping to see one of my all-time fave bands from front row (or close to) soon too!

This just cracked me up!

Yep.. front row and center, in front of the lead mic... for JSS lead Journey and Def Lep! Bought the tickets through ILAA, and apparently was the the first to get through with my order! I figure it was my one and only time to have such luck! So much fun! Wish I could have done that in the 80's!!!

Yeah that was a blast!!

Seems like that's the only way to go.. any other row kills the experience.

ILAA has created a monster (an expensive one at that).

Happy New Year Ms. FU.

That was my front and center experience too! We were planning on going with friends and bought 4 ILAA tickets, later the friends backed out so my husband emailed ILAA to make sure they didn't have any age restrictions because we wanted to take our 6 and 7 year old girls-they emailed back and said that was fine. When we got there they told us they made sure we got front row so the little girls would be able to see. They LOVED every minute of it and sang every word to every song!

Just last month, I was in the front row/center to see Heart in Las Vegas. It was an amazing experience, being that close and watching the band while enjoying the music. To top it off, during "Straight On" I felt it was a good idea to point at Nancy while singing the line, "I'm coming straight on for you." Right then Nancy looked my way, smiled at me and pointed back. Then during "These Dreams" our eyes locked once more, and she smiled again. I was in heaven.

I had no idea that I was going to be in the front row. I've always told myself that if I get front-row seats for Heart, I would bring Nancy a bouquet of roses. So hopefully there will be a next time...

Dude, you're fuckin creepy.

I was thinking the same thing

If having a crush on Nancy Wilson is creepy, so be it.

HoB Sunset is basically a small, funky bar; as long as you get there early and stake your spot, you should be right in the path of any tipsy mic stands ...

I forgot to add smushing two people in one front row, birthday girl spot ...

My sister and Niece had front row tickets the last time Journey came to Grand Rapids. My sister said she spent the concert looking at Schons crotch and getting sprayed with sweat from Arnel. Doesnt sound like much fun to me.....

[Frontiers65]

I been front row at a Styx concert and a U2 concert! I made Adam Clayton laugh, cause my bro was acting like he was conducting the band, and I turned to my bro and made a wierd face and pointed at him, so Adam bust out laughing as he was playing. That was the concert also that all the people behind us rushed the stage when U2 came out and I thought we were going to be crushed to death.

I have had a crush on Nancy since 1977. I was fifth row at a Heart concert once and gave her a rose! I could not hand it to her personally so the Head security officer did it for me in her dressing room before the show. I attached a note to it with my name, and after the second song, she said my name and thanked me for the rose. That night I will never forget!

I guess you're creepy too. (Cool story...)

[Babyblue]

Yes, 1995. Steve Perry spit on me!

[Babyblue]

I'm not sure I'd want to be that close to the members of bands that I like...I'm afraid most of them are old enough now that one of them would lose their dentures right into my lap or crap their Depends right next to me.

Funny story... we saw Peter Frampton onstage, and his damn dentures fell out right in the middle of the song! He actually stopped, picked them up, laughed like hell, then kept playing the song. My wife and I were laughing so hard I thought my side was going to split!!!

Did you run into the restroom right after that and rake the snake?

Rake the snake? I guess that's the kind of tech talk that can only come from someone who starts threads about vaginal steam baths.

My guess is no , he just woke up and had to clean up another nocturnal emission off of his mothers good sheets

[timstar78]

Well...I'm labeled creepy for wanting to bring flowers to Nancy Wilson at a concert. Meanwhile, others are ruminating about a snake, restrooms and mom's 700-thread count bed sheets in the morning. Seems as though some may need to go easy on the Cymbalta intake.

Dude not only are your posts getting creepier, this last one doesn't even make sense. What does your prescribed antidepressants have to do with this conversation, and who said anything about the actual thread count #of the bed sheets your mom uses to make your bed?

I won a pair of front row center tickets to see Rush in St. Louis by guessing the first song in their setlist after their intermission - which was Spirit Of The Radio.

You two are comedy genius. I can't stop laughing. Talk about tag teaming poor creepy Timstar? HAHAHAHAHAHA

That's very cool. I have to say though, I've never gotten into Rush. As a musician, I'm amazed at their arrangements, time signatures from a technical standpoint, and the fact that they're only a 3 man band. It AMAZES me, but I can't get into the lead vocals. Very talented fuckers though!
