Notes:

I was thinking about going to this show for quite some time but was waiting
for a deal on tickets or better yet winning some. The day before the show I had
all but given up on going but low and behold at 5pm the night before while fishing on the lake
I get an email saying I had won tickets! I called my girlfriend up and she was ready and
willing to head down the next day to see Rod.

The tickets I had won were excellent lower bowl seats about halfway back on the
side but I had planned on filming so with a little sweet talking to the venue staff
I was able to switch to mid level seats directly facing the stage. The location had
great sound and was perfect for filming which I managed to do without hardly any
obstructions (DVD and blu ray will be eventually released).

One curious thing about almost every show I attend with great seats is that I
am always close to "that guy". "That guy" is always a skinny, shorter than average
business-type who seems to inherit "liquid courage" immediately before the show begins.
This moron decided to do the famous "turn around and sing the songs to the audience" bit
almost immediately but thankfully started to shut up into the 5th song. You can hear me
tell him to shut up right before the sax solo in Having A Party.

You can't really hear him in the recording unless you are specifically trying to hear him. Other
than that guy the recording turned out great. Rod puts on an awesome show
and kicked at least 30 autographed soccer balls into the audience during "Hot Legs"
which I thought was very cool. One of them even reached the club level which is very
impressive for a 69 year old guy.

Before anyone asks I did NOT record Santana since I am not a fan but I did enjoy his
guest appearance on "I'd Rather Go Blind".
