      I've been bummed a little from the youtubes but as others have said, there's nothing like being there. There is definately magic happening on that stage. True, Dave had his usual speed bumps vocally, but nothing stopped me from grinning ear to ear and whooping it up the whole time.

      I was on the floor, stage left and there was this little cutey by herself too that was really digging the show and dancing next to me all night and felt like I was 25 years old again (no I didn't get all 'old pervy guy' on her so no one start cringing).

      I kept yelling 'ARMY ! ARMY! ' but none of you fuckers were around my seats and I didn't notice any RA shirts... so people probably just thought I was a drunk loon... I was, but anyhow....

      I haven't been to a concert like that in ages and I'm really glad I decided to get my old ass up and down to SD and I would suggest if you feel any hesitation about seeing them you better get the stick out of your butt and do it!

      Good choice Ben. I did have an Army shirt on, but was on the right side of the center floor section. I saw one other Army shirt on the beer line after Kool And The Gang.

Does anyone have any type of care in the world out there?......lol.....or is this just a San Diego thing..........and yes I'm jealous if it's that laid back and I'm here in cut-throat N.Y.
        People don't get what life is like out here. There is lots to do out here and more entertainment options that anyone could imagine. To say nothing of VH fans, but every single show of every single tour goes through here multiple times. It's not as big a deal as when a band goes to, say, Moline or Arkansas. As for showing up at games late, that's all about traffic. Ever seen 7 lanes jammed at 7:30 p.m.? As for leaving early--I got no defense for that

          Too bad I didn't see any RA members, that would have been really cool on top of everything else. I quit looking for the shirts after awhile, I was losing my freakin' mind watching the super heros from my youth right there in front of me still doing their thing. I think that's about as close to a time machine as I'll ever get. I probably came across as some sort of middle aged jackass, but there was nothing getting between me and the good time I was having ... but boy do I feel it today

                          Dave's on fire in those clips!! Same goes for the rest of the band!! And yes, San Diego really is as great of a town as you've heard...Better, in fact. Go check it out, on a Friday night. Go downtown, park your car and you won't believe how many people are out walking around and how much there is to do. Spent most of my teenage summers there and a few years in the mid 90s. If you can't have a good time there you might as well walk out into the ocean and keep on going.

                            I have been there 4 times. Love Old Town. Lot's to do in S.D. Pacific Beach is awesome. Band sounds good.

                              Yes! Man - I simply had no idea where Dave was taking DTNA from the start, but it keeps getting better and better...

                              Loved that version!
