we just got back from the wpb show and i got so busted taping s-k…i got pulled aside by a member of security and taken to the security at the front…all the time the guy kept telling me to stop the recording and i refused to do it..i think you can probably hear me telling them that they let you record as long as its with a crappy recorder and i told them i had the print out that says you can record as long as its for personal use and with non professional equipment….well then i couldnt find the damn thing, the woman security guard finally made me stop the tape and take it out (this was during “step aside”)…im frantically checking all my pockets and cant find the print out…i tell her to ask the tour manager and she must have spoken to someone because 30 seconds later i get told its fine….and then when i get back to my seat, i find the damn printout….
i did manage to get about 5 mins of their soundcheck and all of the show with just most of “step aside” missing…if i can clean it up (or even if i cant) i’ll share this and the show from sunday in tampa that i plan on taping….my friend was in the 2nd row center so i gave her the camera but there was no flash so i wont know how things develop for a while..we were 13th row to the left of the stage…we could still see but we only got a back view of carrie (which suited the guy that was sitting with me)…
i think that they were well received, especially when they did the jam session into “dig me out”….i probably got a contact buzz because so many people were smoking pot and ive never seen so many frat looking guys jumping up and down because of eddie vedder, high fiving and hugging each other…and the sing along made me feel like i was at a dashboard confessional show (where you can hear the audience almost more than the band) but hey, if thats what gets you going - more power to you…i’d probably look just as stupid at a morrissey show since he’s my hero…
