(10,074 posts)Springsteen, Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia. Not his fault. My friend had found out about an hour before we left for the show that her coworker died. Then its half raining when we got there and through most of the evening. Then theyre serving drinks in cups with no lids. We had great seats, but where our seats were it wasnt very steep and the tall guy in front of us blocked our view the whole time. Then he comes back with his umpteenth beer and he and his friends start getting rowdy. While holding a beer in a cup with no lid. So we keep getting doused with beer. Then security takes it upon themselves to make a scene chasing down every whiff, real or imagined, of every possible kind of smoke. I actually had to leave my seat and go stand in the concourse at one point or I was going to get arrested for mouthing off to security. I realized on some level that a good show was going on that we had good seats for, but we just couldnt enjoy it. We did see the show again in another city from the nosebleed section and that was one of my great concert experiences of my life.
