I was driving by the Erwin Center when they announced Robert Plant wristbands, and I got 3rd row center...took the roommate of Dennis's girlfriend for one of the worst dates of my life...she was running late and we walked in right in the middle of "In The Mood" - and after that, I wasn't...

Wow, I don't think I ever heard about the cutting-in-line thing. I can believe it, as Tres was a real jokester. And yes, I think he did go to the concert, but from further back.

I think he took the proceeds and went skiing, and bought some upper-deck seats where he actually sat for the concert... Nowadays, six comparable seats would fetch at least twice that, and probably a good deal more...

The funny thing about Tres was that he had snuck in front of a huge line of people and just happened to walk up and slip past the line guard; as I recall, he snagged 4 front row and 2 second row seats. You would have no doubt not been content with just strumming the chords, but would have had to take a chorus or two on lead...

They had someone get up and play guitar on one song. Can't remember which song, but I knew how to play it and I was wishing that was me. If only Tres had let us buy some of his front row tickets at cost, I might have had a chance. Remember how Tres just happened to be in the Hancock center area when the tickets went on sale? He was first in line and got 4 (6?) front row tickets. Then he sold them to a scalper for $1000+. Anyway, Bono, the Edge, and the whole band are way too cool ... I don't think it's usual to let someone from the crowd share the limelight like that. Thanks for the link, Trey Mark,
