I look forward to reading about the experience in greater detail!

Kind of reminds me of the Who concert, promoting their Quadrophenia album and movie, I went to at the Philadelphia Spectrum in 1979, when I was a freshman in college. It was general admission - a week following a major trampling incident at a Who concert, also general admission, in Cincinatti - and my friend and I managed, without much resistance, to get up front, pretty close to the stage. As you might imagine, the Who performed at about 1 million decibels, and I was standing up close and directly perpendicular to Pete Townsend on his guitar. Needless to say, I don't think I could hear anything for close to a week.

Related to this same subject, I'm currently reading a book, for mindless enjoyment, by John Densmore (drummer for The Doors) called "Riders on the Storm".

Sometimes, we all need to escape!
