i got to the venue early so i managed to get parking at the venue, took pic of the gear when i paid for parking
i wasn't planning on doing any recording so i only had my cell with me, i was fairly sure my shooting was crap, but i thought i'd share these vids anyway (i didn't convert these or anything, they are all in 3gp format):
1) after i parked, i went to the front of the venue (the doors were open since they were either moving some stuff in or out) and music started playing so i snuck in to see who it was
. I was there for about 2 or 3 minutes before i went outside (posted it in this thread
), then went back and decided to record the rehearsal (sorry, i was trying to be discreet, i held the camera by my stomach so it's not aimed or focused on anything). I didn't know Karl was sick that day, but his voice was definitely clearer during the run thru. When I stopped recording, I turned around and there were about 5-7 people further behind me (i guess a few other dirties were there?). It would be another 4 or 5 minutes before one of the 4th&B guys kicked us out.

2) the first 24 minutes of the show (audio/video quailty isn't that good, i've never really used the video feature on the phone). It's split up into 4 files cuz I couldn't make up my mind whether I should just watch the show or keep recording so there's about a few seconds up to a minute gap between the files (the 3rd link is 800 MBs)

I'll leave the links up just for a week, you guys are free to do what you want with them.
Reading back on this thread, I guess Rabbitwork was the guy I was chatting with at the front of the line and at the very front of the show. As i was leaving the parking lot, i spotted Nate & Jillian from Omaha (don't know if they're dirties, but they were with us at the front of the line) and I offered them a ride back to their hotel.
Also, they were handing out the video cards sometime after they opened the doors (got mine when i was hanging out at the front of the stage...but there were only a handful of people inside the venue at that point.)
