I just read that article and it said there was a power outage.  That being said, wouldn't EVERYONE have had to leave the building for safety reasons?  Just sayin...

Well here's my take on the July 7th show in St. John's....

ABSOLUTELY FREAKIN' AWESOME! 

I found it quite nice to not have flashes going off all around me.  Yes, venue security laid it all out as soon as I sat in my seat.  No cameras and no phones...PERIOD!  That was not a problem for me as I left my camera at home and had no intention of using my phone anyway!  I was in the front row and had a super awesome time.  Didn't sit down all night!

For the most part the whole front row was quite courteous and obviously there to enjoy the show and not cause any fuss.

I did notice a guy behind me in the second row trying to take pics and the venue security just told him to put it away.  He didn't take it and delete anything. 

All in all, the concert was a lovely experience for me. 

Oh, and regarding John not interacting with the crowd?  Well I can say for sure that there was a whole lot of interaction tonight!

Thank you John Mellencamp and team for one of my best concert experiences ever!  God Bless you all!  MUAH!!!!!
