Well, if someone offers me a bag of money, then yeah, but otherwise Asia is out of the question for this poor student.

And I reckon drivin' there is a little too far this time...
Also a few too many visa checkpoints.

I would the stage itself from the bridge overlooking Fenway, as I was walking back toward the stadium and realized that the giant thing sticking out was actually the stage!

Follow that closely by Fergie's delish booty shaking!

Just to say that wasn't my impression. The place wasn't full but FOS seemed pretty busy (and remember Health & Safety regulations these days would mean it was never going to be shoulder to shoulder) and as for your comment about Stones/Cohl's fault my ticket was €91 - that's £60 in real money, which I would say compares pretty well to the £150 (albeit for a seat) that the O2 gigs or Twickenham last year cost. Never mind the kind of money they charge for the premium seats in the US. Not saying they are cheap but I think €91 for The Rolling Stones is just fine by me. sadly, they'll probaly put seats in next time! And double the price!
