headed up there in 15 minutes!!!!!!!!!
Anyone got (a) spare ticket(s) for tomorrow?
I just got home from the show. Awesome show!!!

Except for the police.

WTF. Stopping every single car leaving and checking for DWI????

Giving handout flyers and harassing people for drinking before the show.

I've never seen anything like this in Buffalo, in my life.

I wouldn't say that..
he picked it up about halfway through the show
He put on a hat, but it didn't look like the one he sported for most of the recent batch of tours - at least not from where we were sitting.

And BuffaloHipFan, I don't know where you were, or what route you took, but none of the things you described happened to us. There were literally hundreds of people tailgating in the parking lot before the show, and all the police did is asked them to move it to the grassy area adjacent to the lot. That was it - we watched as people with open alcohol talked freely with the police on the grass and were amazed at how cool everyone was about it.

On the way out of the park, the police were directing traffic and kept it moving pretty good. Had there been a RIDE (or DWI Check) on the way out I would have applauded them for it. Keeping drunk drivers off the road makes sense to me. And at an event like that, where they allow you to consume your own alcohol openly before hand, and then buy large quantities of alcohol to take to your seat, there's a high likelihood that there will be drunks trying to drive.

I agreed. Sunday was awesome. I had greaqt seats in the 3rd row and ended up with afterparty passes too. Unfortunately, Gord was more interested in talking hockey with Brian Campbell, Jay McKee and Tony McKegney, than talking music with fans.

Does anyone have any clue what happened in the men's room towards the end of the show? I heard there was some sort of brawl and a ton of people were kicked out. My friend was trying to get out of the bathroom and got punched in the face Confusedcratch:
