I'll Be There For You in St. Louis, 11-24-00: This is the first time I ever saw this song live and I had just about given up on ever hearing it! And thank God Jon was still singing it at the time. The song means a lot to me and the way they did it prior to '02 moved me very much.
Never Say Goodbye in St. Louis: again, this is the first time I ever saw this song done and I NEVER thought I'd be lucky enough to be at a show when they sang it. The band had done 3 encores already and were leaving when Jon grabbed his acoustic and came back and started the song solo. The band didn't join him for a while. It was PERFECT!
Being with my 2 best friends in Atlanta '03. It was a wonderful experience to see the band through Julie's perspective since she had not seen them since 1989.
Colleen and I walking to our seats in Atlanta '95.... we got there, turned to the stage and Jon's mike stand was directly between our two seats. Our jaws hit the floor.
Being 2nd row in Knoxville, TN, 03-07-93. This was the infamous "orange seat show." Jon acknowledged Ursula and I a few times, Alec picked up rose Urp threw onstage and put it on the speaker. I Believe, Keep the Faith, and Bed of Roses were all perfect!
Christmas show in Atlanta 12-12-94. Jon sang "You Belong to Me." I melted. LOL
Foxboro, MA, 7-22-03: Rocking in a thunderstorm.
Little Rock, AR, 7-10-03: Jon got PISSED at the security guards because people were passing out and they weren't doing anything to help them. He cussed them out like I'd never heard him do onstage before. The audience loved it. My parents were at this show and I thought, "It's over. I'll never be allowed to see them again!" but they actually approved that he stood up for the audience the way he did.
