Sure was. My dad was told he got the last 3 tickets and we had great seats. 2nd level and a block form the stage. When Jon went on the walkway it felt like we aware about 3 feet from him.

We were left of the stage about halfway , yeah when the car walk came down ( let it rock ? ) you could literally reach out and touch , could see the sweat on their faces it was that close … crazy times ! Pyro was great as well , always wondered why we don’t see that any more from them , gotta be the st least 20 odd years since we saw it

If I remember correctly it was that incident, that led to Jon taking the final decision of not using pyro anymore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_St...nightclub_fire
