Yet another phenomenal show last night. The venue was half the size of Oakland. about 1600. The smallest venue I've ever seen. I was in ROW 5. This was the closest I ever get to see Mark. And let me tell you, it makes a whole world difference. I was able to see Mark very close. And he looks just awesome. And yes, he wore the same outfit as the night before. Do we ever know if he has many sets of the same clothes or does he wash and dry them right after
?? The crowd was small, but man oh man, they were LOUD ! ( I was one of them) People shouted out many requests. One of which was " Mark, play whatever you like" That got quite a laugh from many people
Mark smiled quite a lot and seemed to be in a good mood. And Yes , he DANCED. Sooooo adorable. He still ROCKS I can tell you that.
The setlist was almost identical from Oakland show. Prarie wedding replaced Remembrance Day. I was in tears when Mark played STP and R&J. Oakland show "Piper to the end" did it to me. It's interesting how different songs affect your emotions at different venue. Wonder what it will be tonight at Temecula.
I ran into Tim O Brian. A nice and friendly guy. He gave me a tip on how I might be able to meet Mark at Temecula. I will follow on that and see if I get LUCKY tonight. Funny how nobody recognize him. He said " they all come to see Mark" "quote" But I said " only the true fans know all band members" He was pleased with that. He said he recognized me waiting at the stage door at Oakland . I was quite surprised when he said that. Of course I had a photo taken with him.
I also met Marie and her husband. We took picture with each other and spent quite a lot of time talking. It was really wonderful to meet other fans. Isacc and Jerone were there also. I will see them again tonight I'm sure.
I will take my flight to San Diego this morning. I got home last night at 1 am and here I am past 5 in the morning, I'm up and typing this.
I've been surviving on very little sleep. I know I'll be very SAD when all the shows are over for me which could be tonight.
I think I can easily spend the rest of my life seeing Mark play very night. Wouldn't that be nice
I yet have to write my review for Oakland. I won't have time now.
Thanks for reading this.
