Well, I can't take photos once the band ( or the opener) hits the stage ( they have some idiotic and super strict policy that's been in place for ever now). But we're here live right now and I can take shots in between. This is my kid's first show ( 6 and 9) so hey, least I am a cooler parent than mine were in this respect at least lmao.This is the line we stood 45mins in for 2 $50 a piece shirts for the kids. The yellow marker is the end of the line lol


Their first show ever.

And the only shot I can take because Maynard has some bug up his ass and "anxiety" but hey, seats are decent and the view is good. There's their gear as they just tore down Steel Beans rig. ( By the way, for a one man band? The dude is pretty awesome. Looks like Ron Jeremy, has a vocabulary about the same as him but can rock a drum set and play lead guitar and even keyboards at the same time. Check him out on YouTube)

Cool dad. I think I was taking my kids to dirt track stock car races at that age. Did get them to a few concerts. REO. Yes. ELP. Jethro Tull. It’s all good times. Have fun.

Oh yeah. As an aside. My youngest kid taught himself to play bass. Got really good at it. One of the songs he played ad nauseam was Schism. But he got good at it.

Hey have a great time Mike! The family is looking good, I can tell they are ready to rock!

 

[Far Rider]

Great dads are priceless Mike. Good on you!

 

[JohnnyGoo]

Good on ya Mike. They wont forget it. I used to do that with my 3 kids when they were young. ROCK ON.

 

[Mitch Pearrow SJMP]

Hell yea Dad this is awesome.
Nice to see you and the family, sharing a forever memory

 

[Sapient]

Very cool taking the fam out for some rock -n- roll music, Mike. Bet y'all had a good time.

Thank ya fellas! Intermission right now which means hanging in line for the bathroom ( didn't know concerts did that!) But it's been awesome thus far.

I get the no phones policy: this is like a louder, far heavier Pink Floyd show with LOTS of imagery and lights. Basically, as mentioned on another post: this is the perfect place if you were on some bumpy cactus buttons, a wild funny mushroom or something on a sheet or sugar cube lol

*Alright so I thought I sent this and didn't due to bad wifi* show just ended, it was a blast!

They DID let everyone film at the very end for their closer, Stinkfist, so here's a lil snippet and the crowd after ( was actually nice NOT seeing cellphones the entire time, so I reverse my stance lol)
