2. I remember watching the first one live one night, so worried he was going to be struck by lightning!

As good as the photo is, it doesn't really show how HARD the rain was coming down, or how he ran up the stairs to the platform, all surfaces with standing water on them, and stood well above the crowd, and it really did look as if he stood a good chance of getting hit by lightning.

My estimation of him increased even more as he braved that kind of risk, and getting soaked to the bone just to keep his supporters from having made that trip for nothing.

Thank you for all these great images, rpannier.
