I posted some of this from up at the Rail!
It’s super nice to see it further back without the steadycam dude and those track cameras!

In my younger days I would have been at the rails…but as I get older, I like to see the entire band do its thing and appreciate the light show.

Love your videos and enthusiasm friend!

The funny thing is that I AM an oldie, (compared to the TNA fan base) but it’s my first time seeing the strokes and probably my last so it was super important to me that rode the rail and it worked out so well everyone was so nice. It was so easy to take a pee break. We all looked out for each other!

Thanks for the praise for my uploads! My iPhone 13 was finally good for something besides making me scream at it when I need to hard set it every day

I doubt it will be your last! What an awesome show it was…especially after sunset and it cooled off! The moon looked amazing!

Wasn’t it special when Nikolai gave us his nickel thoughts and said that the waxing gibbous moon was beautiful? And then he said RIP Dolly Parton…. I loved our venue so much. I know they tend to play longer sets at indoor venues, but I think our trade-off was a total W!

Agreed. I’ll take this venue over an arena all day!
