Another amazing night. Definitely will be the best show for me this year. Front row center stage, nothing is better. We set out to NH and got there for 7:00pm. My friend asked the event staff where are seats are as a joke, and the guy smiled and called my friend a wise guy. We easily found our seats. Unfortunately there was a barricade in front of us, but oh well we were close enough. the whole front of the stage was lined with subwoofers. I knew it was going to be intense.
At 7:40 the heartbeat began, and the "Australian Pink Floyd" text disappeared from the screen. I knew what was about to happen.
The band enters the stage. Damian immediately laughs at me seeing as how I am the only person in the whole place wearing a cork hat. It was cool that he noticed. I think I got a laugh from Cattell too, but I'm not positive.

Hey You
On The Run
All in all, this was an amazing show. The place was packed, I'd say close to sold out. Much more people than at the show in Boston. Everyone was into it, whether they were drinking, drugging, or whatever people do at shows, everyone was having an incredible time.
The bass was so strong I thought my body was going to collapse. It was a good feeling.
Cameras were allowed. I got some good video but the bass was so loud it ruined the sound. You can still kind of hear the music. Does anyone know of a way to drop the bass down and restore the audio? Please let me know if you do. I may post the videos anyways just because I was like 5 feet from the band and its cool to see them rip it up.
The ladies were PERFECT, let me tell you. I get goosebumps every time they sing.
Time was one of the most fan responsive songs. Once the screen filled with clocks everyone went crazy.
Another classic Money solo battle between Damian and Jamie. I swear they get tighter every time I see them.
The pig and Skippy were both in attendance. People went crazy for the pig. One of These Days was also badass when they put up Skippy. Everyone was standing. I thought the bass was going to knock me over, I think I felt it blowing past my face.
They finished the set with Shine On pt2 which was really cool. They didn't finish like that at the last show.
I was hoping to meet the band afterwards. When they finished and bowed, Jamie Humphries pulled backstage passes out of his pocket and showed them. I tried to hang around but, and I hope someone from the arena is reading this, Manchester NH has the biggest assholes working there. Not even 1 minute after the show ended they kicked us out, I couldn't even wait for it to become less crowded. They just kept telling us to leave with a wicked attitude. I've never had to deal with something like this at a concert. We went to different sides of the arena just trying to hang in, but it was no use. We stood at the top near the entrance and who comes walking out? Jamie Humphries. Only he walked out and gave his passes to some hot chicks that were still on the floor. So security kicks me out, but they let the girls hang around. I'm furious about that. I see Jamie, you'd rather hang out with hot chicks than me. That's respectable. But the event staff are still assholes and I'm never going back to that arena.
So there you have it, my night in a nutshell. It really was an amazing night. Now I will rest for a while, before show #3, tonight in Hartford, CT. See you on the dark side of the moon!
