Not exactly a memory of being there so much (was fantastic!) as one about getting there..
Stood/sat in the heat for hours to get a shot at grabbing the rail at Desert Trip. Enjoyed it for the most part, good fans, smoke, food, etc.
When the gates finally opened.. the mad dash was on! My fifty-something year old butt was running hard in the heat and when I slowed to take a necessary breather,
I honestly thought I was going to keel over.
I also honestly thought.. "well, there's worse things I could have in my obit than kicking it while trying to grab the rail at a Stones concert".. and started to run again
Ended up getting a prime spot on the rail, spent a ton of time defending it over the course of the day/night but well worth it!! Literally over a dozen of people ended up
being taken out of the pit due to fainting/heat exhaustion over the course of the evening, and that was just Keith's side, but I had the time of my life!!
