I would have been elated to have nosebleeds but it never worked out for me.\u00a0 I was able to see a few Joe McIntyre shows when he was solo (and met him many times) but I never did get to see the entire band and I always wished that I had got the chance.<\/p>\n<p>When I found out that they were reuniting and were having a concert for the Today Show, I HAD to go!\u00a0 So I booked my hotel, rounded up some friends and went to the show on Friday morning.\u00a0 We camped out old school for the show (like you had to do to get tickets before the days of online ordering!) and had a great time.\u00a0 We all had brought things to keep us occupied but chatted so much we never were bored.<\/p>\n<p>The concert was great, the guys were great and we had a blast!\u00a0 I got to relive my childhood a bit and take some pics so I was a happy camper!\u00a0 I was about 4 rows back on the side of the stage but thanks to my 200mm zoom I was able to get a few decent shots through the mass of people.\u00a0 I figured that I am not the only fan around so I&#8217;d post these for you all to enjoy.\u00a0 Of course I took a LOT more than these but this is just a tasting of what I saw!\u00a0
