Great pictures!
The two shows were fun. For "Tacky" Al walked through the public hallway outside the theater. He got in everyone's face as they were trying to walk by. And he even kept blocking some lady by walking in front of her. Then for the second show, there was a ton of people waiting for him, most likely people from the first show who didn't go to the second show, or people who decided to enter the second show late. For that time, he stood on a woman's scooter and danced with her, and took a selfie with some teen age girls. It's a lot of fun to see Al's entrance for "Tacky" each time. Each show's different!
In the first show, there was a little trouble with the videos during SLN, but didn't affect the song. It was back to normal for the second. Also during the first show, he seemed to aim the water at the first row only, while he went back to drenching the normal first half of dozen rows at the second show. At the second show, during WBUL, he was all over some woman in the front row. He was sitting on her lap, then went over to her a second time at the end of the song and tried to lick her. The way he was all over her, I'm thinking she had to be a CPFOA.
A few minor changes to the video clips. He shortened the Michael Stipe interview, a few of the clips in the Eat It montage, and added Paul McCartney to give the Al's Brain clip some context. Maybe a few other minor changes I'm forgetting about too.
It was a totally different crowd both show. The early show, no one did the Fat bounce, no one waved their arms during AP until Al prompted them, no one took out their cell phones until Al prompted them, and maybe only a handful of foil hats. For the second show, there much more people participating without prompted, and lots of foil hats I wonder if the 4 pm show was more casino regulars who just decided to catch a show while they were there, and the later show was more fans only.
Not going to spoil it who, but someone from the forum got to sing "Yoda" at the second show.
We were sitting a bit further back for both shows and it's definitely a cool show even from the back of the theater. I said this before, but I love the new lighting, especially for DTBS and the encore. If any complaint, it would be that I wouldn't mind seeing the band lit a little brighter.
Lots of forum people there. I was sitting with Melissa, Steve, and Skye for the first show and Jackie for the second show. Met up with Bob, Jacinta, Ethan, CB Johnny and even got my picture with Flat Stanley! We ate at Fuddruckers between shows.
At the end of the night, while I was waiting for Melissa and Bob to finish their Mandatory Czar Obligations, I won $180 on the slot machines, which totally paid for the three tickets I bought! So, yay! Thanks Foxwoods for the free shows!!!
