Amazing show, except for the event staff, they were being really ignorant to my friend


The band though, kicked ass!  Scott seemed sober as he was making sense whenever he talked on the mic...and when they busted out that little Beatles medley I couldn't believe it :D


I already want to get tickets to another show on the tour.....Toronto probably, but maybe Seattle in Aug

besides it sucking to try to sell the extra ticket. the show rocked and was kick ass. i love palms venue because you can get very close to the stage. but the thing i hate with the venue is its always a bitch to get tickets for shows there cause the venue is so small. im actualy suprised stp played there 2 nights, instead of going to a bigger venue. like last time velvet revolver came to town with alice in chains they played in mandalay bay arena, which holds like 15,000 people. maybe they didnt think ti would sell out there for stp i dont know. but palms is a pretty cool venue, except for it being hard to get tickets for it sometimes

Yeah, the theater was amazing, we were up in the balcony right beside the video screen on the right.....again though, the staff were complete assholes, both in the venue and out in the casino.....apparently if you're not a movie star you have no business being there :S

Whoever took that picture was a little bit on the right of me.  I was right at the rail near the monitor where Robert was playing.  Scott showed lots of love to our side, so it was a perfect spot for me.  I had pretty much the same spot for Thursday night's show too, so that was awesome.  I took tons of pics... just need to upload them to flickr or something and share the link later.

My only regret was asking nicely for the setlist and some chic snatching it from my hand right over my shoulder (she was taller) when the roadie was reaching to give it to me.  I was so shocked at how rude she was that I didn't even react.  She totally bolted once she wrestled the paper away from my hand.  And I feel a bit too old to get into a fight over the setlist.  Aside from that fan's total lack of manners, the show rocked.  STP were firing on all cylinders that night, and it was wonderful to watch them enjoy themselves.

Awesome, sounds like all the board members (ehem, hardcore fans) were able to get the great front row views we deserved on the floor... The show really blew my expectations out of the water... The band was goofing around and having fun as if they were teenagers again... I loved the part of Creep where Scott pointed over to Robert during "Bobby's Got a Gun"..also Scott placing the bullhorn through Robert's legs later in the show, and allowing Kretz to sing (mumble) the rant at the end of Crackerman..
My only exit is a one way out...

I thought about that, but I really needed two tickets. Otherwise it was more of a hassle to find another ticket.

It sounds like everybody here that went for the most part was all in the same area on Rob's side, that's kinda funny.

Sorry about that setlist thing rnwca, what an incubus.

Check out this video I took from Saturday night's show.  The audio sucks I know, but stick through it and you will see Scott get on his knees.  You have to check out what he says!  If you have any doubts that they are in this for money you need to re-evaluate that after you see this snippet.  Scott's words say it all.

The girl next to me tried getting it, and a few other people, and he wouldn't give it to any of them, he MADE SURE I GOT IT. That is one of the nicest things I've ever seen anybody do; He obviously saw how much I was clapping for him and made sure I got his pick and nobody else. What an awesome guy.

Jer, I had this EXACT same thing happen to me when I saw Robby with Army of Anyone.  He remembered me from the obsessive-following-of-the-band-thing in 2000, and tried to hand the pick to me.  Some bitch tried to get it - same as you - and Rob yanked it from her and placed it in my hand.  Such a sweetie!!  I love hearing stories like this about him.
How could they not notice it?! Because it's a little mint.  It's a Junior Mint!

I was at the show too, and they did a nice little jam of Bowie's TVC15 during sour girl.

Didn't notice that one, but I'll say again that the Beatles songs blew my mind :D

i agree that was cool, lucky guy..the commment someone put on youtube wasnt that nice calling him a fool, the guy probly didnt know to repeat what scott sung or the 2nd line it was unexpecter im sure..the comment scott makes at the end of that video^ made me laugh..sounds like it was a good enjoyable concert
