Man we feel like we’ve been on a month-long trip, when we were only gone for a total of 28 hours! Lots of walking and then standing, jumping and dancing for 3 hours in the Snake Pit, I’m sure contributed. Here’s another picture from the show, great photo.
Amazing how close you get to the guys. That’s why they built this custom stage. Think I’ve said this before, but it takes 210 semi-trucks to transport all the gear for the show.
We left around 10 and made it to pick up Harley by 1. She was so excited she jumped all over me and scratched me and even drew blood with her nails. When we made it home, we started laundry and Lori made enchiladas. Davy and Abbey didn’t make it home until around 7 and Violet, their 15-year-old, wanted to go to some line dancing class, so Wes, their 5-year-old, came down to hang with us. He’s a great kid and Lori loves having a 5-year-old around, ha. She made cupcakes.
Ty’s off to work already. He left 1t 6:30 and has a 14-hour day as they have a party tonight until 9pm. We both feel drugged from no sleep, have sore backs and feel ten pounds heavier. Guess our age is catching up with us, but it didn’t at the show! Ty told me it was great watching me at the concert as he said it looked like I was in a movie and was 20 years old again! Today though, I feel 68, ha! No way we could go tonight. A friend of ours, who was at the show Friday night, and lives in Denver, is taking his daughter again tonight before she heads off to college. Her first concert was Metallica when she was 11. I texted Ray yesterday and set up a couple VIP/Pit passes for him at Will Call. He’s super excited and thrilled. Everyone is our group of 61 from Friday night had a blast and has been texting and thanking me for handling everything. One guy in the Friends and Family lounge, who I didn’t know, came up and introduced himself and his girlfriend which I though was weird. I graciously talked to them and shook his hand, and he said, “you’re like the second most famous person here”! Lori and I laughed, not knowing what he meant. I told him he has me confused with someone else, but he wouldn’t have it. Too funny. Must have been my jean vest! We need to get going and head out to the gym. Have a great Sunday and God Bless. Here’s a few more pics.
And last, our great family! There’s my vintage super cool jean vest again from 1972! Ha! Check out all the kids in their Metallica t-shirts from other shows. You can see how packed the stadium was, 76,120 people. That’s it, we might go to the show in Australia or New Zealand in November, we’ll see. If not, maybe Europe, Spring 2026, as that’s the last leg of the 4 yearlong tour, God Bless.
