So I'm trying to catch up with all the threads, and I don't see any comments about Monte jumping into the pit at this concert!! He's only done that once before. During Music Again, Monte jumped from the stage onto the barricade right in front of libracats and me! He was playing, and leaning down between us while doing his solo. We were so surprised and didn't know what to do when he suddenly was leaning on us and letting us play his guitar! It was an awesome moment that I won't ever forget! We talked to him after the show (with Lisa and one of his older daughers show was asleep on his shoulder :wub: ), and he said he did it just for us! Monte is the sweetest man. I've only found one vid of the pit jumping so far, by the person next to me, but it's so close all you can see is my hand. These shows were such big venues for Adam- 8500 people each night. He really won over alot of new fans.
Lori,
I was looking through Alikat1323's photos for the Costa Mesa shows on photobucket and noticed these pics of Monte. It looks like he's in the pit:
Her 7/28 album doesn't have any pics of Monte in the pit.
Glad you had a great time at the concerts. Thanks for your recaps. :flowers:

Deb took a vid of the jumbotron and caught that moment. It's a few pages back. It would probably be easier to get it off her channel. I'll go have a look....
Here, at about 2:18:
Monte didn't jump into the pit on the first OC show, but those are still some great pics of Monte! And thanks lifesabeach for posting that vid here. It shows how he just stepped on to the little ledge the barriers have, and leaned into us to play. He kept leaning his face down into mine, and that's my hand patting him on the back at the end. I didn't know what else to do! :haha: It was a great moment tho! I wish some of the other videos would focus on Monte while he's playing his solos, because he's amazing. Most videoers just focus on Adam watching Monte- which I totally understand, but give Monte a little love, too! And while I don't ususally act the fangirl around Monte, I had him sign my green wristband from the OC pit that night, when I saw him in SD. Just for the memories. :)
Marie, I have been catching up a bit this afternoon and just read this!! :haha: :haha:
Oh my goodness what a night. I remember you coming up to us to tell us the car had been stolen and we were all shocked but quite calm as we thought it may have been parked somewhere else. That bloody security guy, he was an absolute pain both nights! The relief of your call to say it had been found and the hugs we all shared when you came back to us. The relief was oozing out of you.
And how we laughed thinking you were going to drive down the cordoned off road and how we planned to scream and wave for you :haha: :haha: :haha:
Good thinking to park by the buses though and relief for poor Mitchell who really did not want to hang around on the road for a second night and took a comfortable seat in the back of your prized charger.
Oh the memories.... ones I will never forget. Thank you for being a part of them. :hug:
ETA: Oh and Marie you didn't add our fun tales of driving around to try and find coffee and god knows what time in the morning and you getting the man in the garage to make a fresh pot all of which my boys have no recollection of as they were sound asleep in the back of the car.
