The guys got to the Viper Room pretty late, and didn't go on until after 12:30, I think?
The room was PACKED. There was no room to breathe practically, but the energy from the crowd was amazing. I was a couple of feet from the stage (rocking out with mursbud and cjspas!). The guys were right in our faces!!
Memorable moments:
-There must have been at least 3-4 pairs of panties thrown on the stage when the guys first came out. Someone gave Marty a long-stemmed rose, too.
-Marty came out into the audience and sang in the crowd (he was right next to Jodie!) He was also climbing all over the booths, too.
-He said that througout the night he was going to try to look every single person in the eye to make a point that they "really "f***ing appreciate us being there."
-When they came out for the encore, Dino looked out at the crowd and said "You guys are f***ing CRAZY." Something along the lines of this was the best time they've had so far this tour. And the "chicks were hotter", too.
-Someone right next to the stage grabbed Marty's pants (trying to take them off! woot!) and he just stood there for a second and was laughed and said, "WOAH."
-When they first came on, he was scanning the crowd for Suzie McNeil, who was standing in the back of the room. Poor thing, I hope she could see! She's really short!
There are more but my brain is overwhelmed so I know I'm missing details!
I don't remember the exact set list, but they performed for about an hour or so.
The crowd was insane, singing, dancing..it was such an amazing experience. Much more so than Gibson. I can't even articulate it properly. Man.
Afterwards, everyone gathered out side (basically we got kicked out because the club was closing) and it was really cool to meet and talk with the other fans. Everyone was SO COOL!
Bobby came out for a few minutes and dear God, that man is STUNNING in person. His smile is the most beautiful I think I've ever seen. He looked at me a couple of times, because I think he knew I was trying to work my way over, which I finally did. BUT, right before I got up to him (i was next in line!) to get a photo, he got swept away back into the club. SO CLOSE! Arghhhhh.
I saw Marty inside talking to Suzie, but didn't know that we could actually go back in there or I so would've. I was expecting the guys to come out and hang with us for a bit, so I, along with everyone else, was still waiting outside in the freezing cold. After about 45 minutes, the club completely cleared out and Marty walked outside to get into the car. I was standing right next to it, and my heart was racing, thinking, "oh my god. this is my chance!". But when he came out, I think he was a little taken aback that there were so many fans still waiting. He looked like he felt REALLY BAD that he had to leave so quickly. You could see it all over his face. Aww. A few people trampled me to get to him, and he gave like two autographs. I was so close that I could touch his face if I wanted, but he was in such a hurry that it was impossible to get a moment. I couldn't believe I had actually missed my chance. TWICE!
Basically, my overall opinion is that these guys are the real deal, man. They're so into their fans, and creating a bonding experience with everyone there. Their energy and passion are so contagious and inspiring, and now I don't see how I can enjoy ANY other music because nothing and no one will ever compare. Ever. I'm a little depressed today because I had it in my head that last night was THE night to actually meet them. Oh, my heart.
I got some pictures, but people were getting kicked out for using their cameras. Jodie and a few others were fearless so they have tons of photos to share, I'm sure. Either way, I had a most excellent time and will never forget it!!
I'm sure everyone else has more interesting recaps...sorry. I just wanted to share a little piece of mine.
