Reply to "Let’s Have A Party, Albany! - 2014-05-13 – Times Union Center, Albany, NY set list thread"

I made the pit, #44, 975 was the number out of 1800 and I was about 4 back, dead center.

 

I was lucky as the large guy in front of me let me go ahead of him (I'm short) and the section I was in was really into the show. No jerkoff wannabes, just longtime fans and pit veterans. 

 

Great energy, Bruce was strong and clearly having fun.  I can't say enough about Tom Morrello.  He totally owned Joad, what an amazing performance. 

 

A highlight for me was the letter from a fan requesting "Save the Last Dance for Me" for his mother. It was such a sweet moment, and the Mom is clearly in love with Bruce - her facial expression was disbelief, rapture and ecstasy at this dream come true; she even kissed him on the lips!

 

I loved the segue from The Wall to BITUSA, a song I'm not really a fan of.  Ramrod was fun, and unexpected. Disappointed at no crowd surfing, as I was close enough to have copped a cheap feel 

 

But the moment I'll never forget was when the lights came up, and the crowd was leaving. Bruce came back on the stage and just looked around, taking it all in. As I was in the front of the pit, I was last to leave and saw him. I smiled at him, he saw me and smiled back. I said, "I love you, Bruce!" and he pointed at me, smiled and then blew me a kiss.

 

It' s moments like this that make all the difference.
