Well, same trip down, got there kinda early, but not AS early as the day before. Tried to work backstage, but today I parked beforehand, and I got to will call just as Eric was walking inside...just in time to ask if he needed help and get told no. Oh well, that sucked, but, I was definitely glad to have helped the first 2 nights. Waited in line for a while, talked to a couple behind me for most of the time. It was quite cold. Tried to get preshow, but that didn't work out, so I thanked Toby for letting me help out the previous 2 days (and I'm REALLY thankful, even though I know he isn't going to read this, but that's alright). Watched Sevendust again, still not much improvement, then Kid Rock... quite cool again... 'Tallica came on... once again, quite fucking awesome. Took a lot of pictures of this show (but of course, none came out good). Before the show Dean told me a buddy of his had mentioned that they might play Trapped Under Ice, but I didn't know one way or another. They busted out Seek and Destroy, and Outlaw Torn... I was fucking amazed... by this point in time, I was so drained from the previous shows, and so sore, out of energy, breath, and everything in me that it took everything I had just to mouth along... and then they did it... they played Trapped Under Ice... and I just about shit a brick. Dedicated it to Otto, whomever that is, I dunno, but he's probably really happy. Anyway, the show ended, I went home, and today, Sunday night, after a Wednesday concert, my ears are still ringing, I'm still sore, and I fucking love it. My love for Metallica is stronger than ever, and I don't think it'll ever die.
