I had a blast! It took us forever to get parked and I was scared I wouldn't catch the beginning. We got to our seats as your vegas was going off and I looked around the place. I was really disappointed with all the empty seats, but then I looked around again after about the second song and the place looked almost packed.
This was my 4th dd concert and I must say it was the best! John told us that we were the best f___ing crowd ever! (I bet he says that to all the people!) No, but everyone was dancing and singing. I had heard horror stories about Chastain Park and all of the series ticket holders sitting around and talking. I saw a few people sitting, but the whole place seemed to really enjoy themselves. My sister and her husband were impressed by the whole show. He said John really entertained. Oooh, I wish I was back there again! What a night! I don't have any good pictures because of my seats, but I'm sure someone will post some soon! The only complaint I had was the shitty videographer. I looked up at the screens every once in a while and all I'd ever see was Simon. Come on! Would have been nice to see a little Roger and whole lotta John!
Heard at DDM that a brawl broke out in the first rows during OW. Anyone here have any scoop?

I wouldn't mind at all seeing Simon all the time. Sounds like a great show.

This was my 5th DD concert and tied for the best, if not THE best! Simon and especially John were into the concert as well as Dom and Anna. Not sure about Roger - never saw him crack a smile, but he was hard at work the whole time. Nick seemed totally oblivious to his surroundings - he may as well been video-ed in for his part. Simon the sax guy didn't seem all that chipper either. Still John and Simon carried the show. It was great to hear all the RCM songs - much better live and it kept it from being an auto-pilot greatest hits pass through. I liked the stage backing - didn't have any stage video to compete with just watching the guys tear it up.
I had worried about attendance, but once the band hit stage it looked 95%+ full, possibly a sell out (now I was at the very bottom, so I can't say for sure, but I am betting the band liked the turn out and energy).
I got to the concert not to have a card in my camera, so I am really looking forward to someone posting some pix.
I was about 11 rows back and didn't see any brawl. Interesting notes - Simon dedicates OW to a 30 year Georgia death row inmate and John wears an Obama T-shirt for the encore.

I was there and could see the front row from where I was sitting. I saw Dave make his way from the left side of the stage to the right, out the door and down into the front row and then he pulled out some guy. I did see a guy from the front row keep motioning at Dom to come closer to the front of the stage so it might of been him. It was a bit creepy looking. I'm not sure why Dave had to go down there, I've never seen so much security at a show. There had to have been 7 guys across the front of the stage. But as for what actually happened, I'm not sure, but it was certainly distracting.
