That must be just 'paid' attendance...they were doing buy-one-get-one-free ticket deals...radio stations were giving away tickets...

I was there and there were at least 1,800-2,000 people there...it was very crowded...

there were probably 10 boats anchored in the river next to the venue...there were about 100 people along the riverwalk watching the show...

I filmed the second half of the show from the riverwalk...there was this old dude (70 at least...!) who was absolutely GETTING DOWN to Roth...I couldnt resist video taping him for a minute or two (he was oblivious to the fact that I was standing right next to him with a video camera pointed at him)...it was high comedy...too bad I had to erase it...

you know, the more I watch the Kahunaville video, the more I like the set Roth did...

My review that I wrote was a reflection of what I was thinking AS I WATCHED IT LIVE...

There is a bit of a special magic to small shows that you don't get in huge ass 50,000 seat venues. That's very much almost all the concerts I've ever attended. Given the choice, I take the smaller venues over the large arenas any day of the week.

[rustoffa]

What about going to huge arenas with 5 grand there?

Folks busted out beachballs @ the van hagar shows last year and the janitors were getting involved.

In the 10th row!

I wasn't there, I'm just sayin'.

[bueno bob]

Well, the janitors didn't have anything else to do...Van Hagar concerts are filled with respectable adults and model citizens. Playing with beach balls is how they let their hair down and get crazy after a hard, productive, responsible day of playing it safe and being respectable

Now. As for myself...

[guwapo_rocker]

The place was packed!!

[guwapo_rocker]

Fuck it...we had a great time!!

[rustoffa]

It's weird, the show @ WILD ADVENTURES took place in a theme park. I could hear the band and shit, but the smell of funnel cakes was everywhere.

Then you had the fucking WILD ANIMALS all caged up and shit. No fucking way van hagar wouda booked a gig like that.

Think about it....funnel cakes...sammy....WILD ANIMALS.

Cuntplete overload for the WILD ANIMALS....couple of screeching lyircs?

BAM.

The fucking thing is front page news with baboons busting out and dry-mounting sammy in the middle of "When it's Love."

LMFAO!

Time for some photoshop.

I've seen DLR many times, 15000 at the Summit here in Houston on EEAS and SS tours. Great shows but the time he played the Backstage club - for YFLM was the best. About 1000 and jam packed and drinks flowing - he fucking rocked.
