2. I had a pair of binoculars and Peter Gabriel's band members (who are all about 70) were all wearing orthopedic sneakers.  I guess comfort won out over  style!

3. There were newly installed metal detectors and the line was a mile long.  They had me go through the metal detector but didn't check inside my bag.  Thought that was interesting.

4. I got to bed finally at 1 am and had to be up at 5:45 am to get going for work.  It was a tough day.  Real tough.  Tougher the older you get.  You just don't bounce back as fast the older you get.

Anyway, enough about the concert.  It was just so awesome.  A once in a lifetime event.

Until tomorrow...
