I've been blessed by the Boss !

18th June 2008 - Amsterdam Arena - An unforgettable evening and show... "my boss time"!

I've been finally "blessed" by the Boss! Got his sweat in my hand, on my arm and on my face and it felt so good :D
I touched him, held his hand, caught a part of his guitar and even dared to put my hand on his ass ! Oh what a night ! :))
I was not in the middle (damned), but front row stuck to the little left's stage.

When you're so close to the stage, you have to fight for your spot! Well you have to fight everywhere to keep your place but there, it was particulary "difficult".
Anyway I stayed the whole show there but after the concert, I couldn't leave the barricade, I was like stuck to it. I couldn't move anymore! My arms and legs still hurt but it's for a good thing ;) I had the whole pit pushing behind me! :D
Maybe "one regret", he doesnt come often on these small stages's sides (4 times) and it goes way too fast). You don't have time to realise what's goin' on.

I didn't take pictures because the security was pretty strict (again) and I wanted to enjoy every minute without hiding me trying to get a few pictures.
And anyway when Bruce is in front of you, you've got no time to think, you even don't know where you are it's like something unreal... The Boss is on his knees in front of you!
You just have to enjoy and try to catch him :))

He likes to be close to his fans and we can see it.
Always a big smile on his face...
it's like the grandfather with all kids on his knees.
It's really impressive!

Thank you to Marcus for the pictures ;)
Nice souvenir, I can see my hand and a part of me on him :))
