I was there and it was incredible.I have the audio and video bootlegs so I know this show like the back of my hand.My wife and I drove from Maine normally 3 hours but a blinding snowstorm made it take 8 hours.In New Hampsire it came on the radio that Keith was staying nearby so the show was on. We made it to Charlestown where a frind lived and it snowed so much Dominos wouldn't deliver.WE walked from Charlestown. It was about 11 hours getting there. I was in the balcony but had 4 friends in the 4th row.The Orpheum wasn't so beat up then and smelt better. I had been to 5 Stones shows at that point- 30 shows now- but you could tell the sound of the stones is the sound of Keith Richards.The band was absolutely on fire, and Keith seemed to sing better than we thought possible. I stayed in the balcony and still say its about the 2nd best show ever, only topped by the fact that I was front row for the Stones Orpheum show on the licks tour 2002.I went to retrieve my friends from the4th row and it looked like they ghad been through a war. Being that close to that show altered their lives. It was loud a e real good loud.It took a while to pry them out of their seats, so iwas in the aisle.I'm about 175 pounds, aND I WASNT LOOKING WHEN THIS LITTLE GUY CAME DOWN THE AISLE AND ran into me, knocking himself to the floor.I helped him up and he ambled to the stage and jumped up on the stage and went backsytage in search of Keith It was Peter Wolf of J. Geils.That was cool, but that show was "something else" Merittbuck
