My best friend manages security there and told me that the band was out of the arena before the show trailer video was halfway through. tapermike, I have no reason to dispute what you say and it's most likely true. When I think about it, I don't know why the band would want to hang out in some stinky locker room in the bowels of the BAC after the show. I was merely relaying the story as it was told to me. My friend is not one to fabricate tales so perhaps his "connected" buddy was just messing with him knowing he was blotto. Or maybe there was an after show party at some other location than the arena that he was being invited to. I dunno Still, it makes for a cool story to tell the grandkids some day And to the OP, grab a copy of the recording from the Toledo show that turned up and relive the evening. It should ease you out of your funk. Works for me anyway Sorry for the thread hijack... Peace, John G.

Well, I wasn't with him at the time, I had much better seats. Believe me, the events of his evening did not end at the concert. There was a bit of hell to pay when he finally staggered home in the wee hours of the morning to find his wife waiting up for him I'm not sure when he's gonna be able to go to a concert again. I offered him some extra tickets I had to Robert Plant last night and he was like "Uhm, well, I don't know, man"

I wouldn't feel so bad. At least you weren't like my friend (who also happens to be originally from Toronto) at the Sunrise gig two weeks ago. He got tickets in the ADT suite. Not the best seats as they're third level and far from the stage. But it includes free food and drinks The line at the bar was long but they were allowed three at a time, so that's what he was getting for himself By the end of the show he was several sheets to the wind. When the concert ended, a well connected buddy of his calls him. This guy had backstage acccess and was allowed to bring a few friends with him and was inviting my friend to come down. My friend was just too obliterated to go and declined Probably should have just kept to the So he blew a chance to hang backstage with Rush after a show
