All these "secrets" are really cool reading and finding out. Some I knew about you guys and gals, others not. So, I'll chime in a bit...
I think, and correct me someone if I'm wrong, but I may be the only BE member that was at the Norva in Norfolk back in '02 when the played, the one and only time performance of 'I Got You.' That was cool.
Met the Deleo bros for backstage M&G twice during their tour with AoA in '06. Super nice, took pics, exchanged some pleasantries, and showed Robert my fleuron tat. Later that night, during their performance of 'Piece of Pie', Robert knelt down in front of me and my friend while playing and then gave me his pick after the song.
Early in 2011, I saw them in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, I had 3rd row seats and after the encore, while taking their bow, fans rushed up. I took the opportunity to get up their just in time for Eric to hand me one of his drumsticks, which was already marked with the STP initials, Baltimore, and date.
Then, later in 2011, I was very fortunate to have gotten to sing the D&B intro, as some of you have done as well, you understand just how awesome that is. Interacting with all the guys on stage, in Atlantic City of all places, was just surreal and unforgettable. (Thanks Laura!)
Lastly, at a Scott show in DC last November, he took 2-3 minutes before playing Kitchenware & Candybars, to bend down in front of me and let me express my love to him, while (somewhat awkwardly) holding my hand.
All these experiences have been so fortunately amazing.
Thanks for letting me share... haha
