Meet and Greet (1 Viewer)

A friend of mine in the drag racing world is friends with Paul Rodger's manager. So I was able to snag tickets and Backstage passes to the show when it came to the local casino.

The concert was one rocken show and Paul is one of the truly best rock singers of all time. A great showman too. He loves what he does and it showed tonight even off stage prior to coming back on he was smiling and appeared to be enjoying himself.

Well, thinking I was going to get a chance to meet one of the greats of all time, it was a big thrill to me. So I brought my camera, sharpe and a cd cover for him to sign. Before the meet and greet we were told "no autographs, no photos, don't even ask". Everyone was rushed in and the band was in a line, then people with codes on there passes got to go before others even though we all had back stage. I almost didn't get to go in but the drummer saw me and said to come in I got to meet every one but it was a real quick deal. They were all really nice but the management were trying to rush everyone in and out of there. And the band was staying right there at the hotel so they didn't have a plane to catch.

I expected that they would sign and pose for pictures but that wasn't the case. It was a great show anyway. I guess Kenny Bernstien isn't so bad after all.

Pretty cool Rich! Always liked Bad Company, but I really liked it when he and Page formed The Firm. Some really get songs on that self titled Firm album from `85!
Bad experience with Kenny, huh? You aren`t the only one.

It was a great show we were right up front he did a half dozen Bad Co song. There were my favorite bands back in the day and still are.

Funny, KB's always been nice to me.

I didn't want this to be a rip Kenny thread. I have a lot of respect for KB, I just know he's real brief with fans which is what I was refering to. I support his return to funny cars and I'm not one saying he's to old as he's doing a fine job.

Relax Rich,
I really like Paul Rogers but Kenny Bernstein, well, Mama said if I don't have anything nice to say, to say nothing.

Well, I have to chime in on this one! You have to understand that in the music industry, your work day is not 2 hours long. The day starts early with load in and sound check. Then you have radio station interviews and press crap to do. Then at about 7:00 or so, you get to eat dinner if you are lucky. Then, there is sometimes a meet & greet before the show (if they have a plane to catch). If not before the show, then after the show. It is a very tight schedule. So, please don't be mad at them. At least you got to shake hands with greatness!

Martin..........am I pretty accurate on this one!!!
