This is just telling the story as it was; if you don't like it, don't
read it! You obviously contribut NOTHING to this group (unless of
course this is a pseudo).
I guess if I were bitching, it'd be to God then for making it so
damned hot, or the one guy who told people to crowd to fit as much as
possible in (if I wanted to bitch, I'd mention they had no facilities
within code for water fountains). There was so much a crush of
people, that little kids were getting crushed and if you tried to get
out, it was near impossible (very dangerous). That to me IS something
to bitch about, which I did not. As to Rick's talent; I would guess
anyone who has knowledge of rock and who listens to a lot of music
would agree that this is more and "idol" than a stellar "rock god".
So it's more fact than bitching. I didn't think it was bad either. I
just am indifferent to this one aside from the crowd. I urge all
people going to a concert, play, event to report everything, good,
bad, successful or not to give info for others who may want to attend
similar things around them. It gives you a heads up on what you might
expect.
As for the VIP meet and greet with Bryan Adams/Foreigner, yes, that
was telling a more negative side, but yes, it was a negative thing.
We PAID for those passes. 400.00 and for that much cash, they said a
BBQ ... not a hot dog and a handful of stale chips! And they were
disorganized and treated people HORRIBLY. And I wasn't the one
bitching; I quasi-expected that and the only reason I was there was to
meet Bryan Adams and possibly get a graph. I was there for curiosity
sake, to see what the "pay for" passes get you. I posted that to tell
people what to expect. i have another story about Rick if you want to
know. For 750.00 you can get to sit on stage (not go on stage or ever
move from your fold-up seat) and go backstage and get 2 graphs and one
photo taken with him; then you are to immediately exit the venue (not
just the area, but the entire venue). Gee, some great stuff for you
money eh? LOL But these are the things some people MAY want to know
about. If you don't, then DON'T read it~
If nobody comments, then obviously nobody cares, but when ignorant
morons like yourself, it just makes me want to keep posting! I'll be
sure to post my next ones for you, I've got several more concerts and
events lines up.... I hope I make your day LOL. Not that I need to
defend myself to an obvious troll like yourself.
