Ok strap yourselves in. I am back and i have ALOT to tell. This being my 1st as many of you know trips to see them in their hometown at the New Giants Stadium show on July 9th. All i can say is WOW....I ended up with 5th row PIT VIP package which included backstage tour and dinner. Will start with the tour....

Was neat to see all the technical stuff and the video equipment etc underneath the stage. Since there were 2 opening bands including Kid Rock and all his instruments we could NOT go on the stage (a bit of a disappointment for me but i quickly got over it) i took tons of pictures of trunks of video and electical stuff at this point.

We were then taken to another underneath the stage where Jon's guitar famous black guitar with the initals and date etched on it. At this point i was one of the few who actually posed with his MARACAS and MIC STAND. The mic stand was extremely light. I was able to pick it up and move it. I shook those maracas too. Some say i jinxed him by doing that we will never know lol...

It was time to move on to Richie's guitars. Here was the problem. There were so many of us some crowded around to the point i couldn't even see them all let alone take pictures. He had a guitar tech one of his many techs since he uses up to 52 guitars at one time tuning up a black shiny guitar (i did manage a picture of this guitar up close) didn't get to pose with one of his guitars on the stands. We WEREN'T allowed to touch them oh well. Unfortunately the people i made friends with were huge Richie fans and didn't get the chance to get their picture with one of his guitars.

Dinner was catered and pretty decent. Just felt there were too many on the tour and broken down into 4 groups with 2 groups eating while 2 groups doing the tour. They had way too many in my opinion compared to smaller indoor venues and there wasn't that much more to the tour than the above. Oh well i got what i wanted the picture of me and the MARACAS and the MIC STAND so i was one happy camper.

We were taken into backside of the stadium at the start of the tour and just looking at it for the first time was MASSIVE. i thought the outside was MASSIVE this place is HUGE.

For the tour i had my Fuji camera and that way saved my better camera for the actual show which turned out amazing. I LOVE my new camera

Next up part 2 and the actual show....
