I was just reading the other thread that mttourpro mentioned...
And I remembered another DSO near -band experience. How about 1st family.

Wonderful night. McDonald Theatre. Eugene Oregon. Sat. Oct 14, 2006. (Looked that up). Original Setlist. Fantastic DSO show back in the JK days. My wife & I are in the green room, and there was the grey haired lady with a big personal presence thanking the guys in the band, and congratulating them on an excellent night. Big smile. Those guys called her MG. It took my slow ass a minute to figure out what MG meant. (Mountain Girl for those who didn't get that.)

I just smiled and said hi. Felt kinda tongue tied. I didn't want to be the guys who said "So...man...was it cool...like...living with Jerry?" Because it probably was cool sometimes...

2nd set they played The Other One. No lyrics and Ken Babbs did "free verse." Looking at the setlist it looks pretty sub-standard. But I remember the night being freakin' awesome.
