Sept. 10, 1999 York Fair
* Sec B Row 17 Seat 7
* * way-back there :-(
* * * Met Rick Allen and Phil Collen, gave Rick a copy of
my
book. Cynda, Gale's daughter, got autographs as well!
Dawn was already in grandstand. We heard warm-up
session
and went round back. Rick looked surprised when I
handed
book to him and said, "Here's the book I told you bout 2
years
ago in Puerto Rico."
Then Phil signed my T-shirt and I told him, "My son,
Jeremy
was workin and couldn't be there, he'd soon be 21,
legal
to have a drink--not that he wants one!"
So Joe found me right away with that look like, "There you
are!"
Then durin 'Women,' he said, "Ruth," lookin right at me
:-)
Before 'Pour Some Sugar On Me,' he pointed straight at me
and
motioned for me to come down front, then pointin toward
Gale
and Cynda standin in the aisle toward the front. I went
down
front and once there, Phil came to side of stage and
said,
"Nice job!"
Corsair was down front with her top off, and Joe seemed to
like
that--pointin her out to Phil, who in turn, laughed!
I give this concert six stars, for havin met Rick n
Phil,**
givin Rick my book*, Cynda gettin 2 autographs*, Joe
sayin'
my name and pointin at me, invitin me to come down
front,*
and for Phil sayin "Nice job!"*
Euphoria success at last!
After show, the sound system played 'Rebel Rebel' cover
tune,
bein played by Def Leppard!
After show, Dawn met Joe (for the 3rd time!) and had
gotten
autograph/photograph as well!
