Ok ladies....here we go??? Are you ready???LOL
It had already been the day that I would never forget and we were abit apprehensive about leaving the bus area for fear that we would miss another possible opportunity to see the guys again. But it was getting dangerously close to show time and we figured that we had better get inside or we'd wind up standing miles away from the stage. We had been told by several people that the line to get into the stadium was wrapped around the side of the building and that the place was packed. The stadium supposedly could accomodate 6,000 people and rumor had it that 8,000 tickets had been sold!!! So we waved goodbye to
Malvin, who had been riding around in his golfcart...lol...and headed towards the entrance. I bought myself a T-shirt then we got into line (which really wasnt that long) and quickly entered the stadium. To our shock and total pleasure...my niece Jess and I noticed that although the field was packed with fans...there was a small section immediately to the right of
Phil that was open just enough for a few people to stand. I was like, "You've got to be kidding me...someone is watching over us tonight!!" So needless to say...we rushed down onto the field and headed straight for the barracade. We ended up several feet to the side of
Phil's spot on the stage with our hips pressed up against the barracade only several feet away from the stage and directly below the speakers!! WOO HOO!!! It was awesome!!!
Several minutes later..we saw
Malvin drive up to the side of us with
Rick Allen in his golf cart and Rick made his way to the back of the stage. Minutes later...as the remaining members of the band, Rory, Kristine, Michelle (with baby Samantha strapped to her in a baby carrier) and a few lucky fans also made their way to the side stage areas and
"WE WILL ROCK YOU" began pumping out through the speakers. We all lost our minds!!!! Screaming and stomping our feet as we called out for the Lepps to take the stage!! It was a moment that sent chills up my spine!!! To be that close...in daylight...to see and hear everything so clearly was
AWESOME!!!
CHECK IT OUT!!! (the pics arent that great...but to me...they capture memories of a night I'll never forget :D )
And here he is...the man most of you have been waiting for....
SAV !!!!
I do have a better one that I'm saving for last...he he!!
Sav came over numerous times but each time he did....it seemed to take an eternity for my camera to flash....I tried my best!!
Then we moved a bit closer towards the center...and closer to
Phil...as you can see!!!
Ooops..these next two were shot first....before the one above....lol...sorry ladies..they're abit out of order!! But you get the idea!!
Ok....be back soon with so more stage shots....have more of
Phil...a few of
Joe, a pretty close one of
