 Ok at the last minute, this lady comes and sits in the single seat between me and this other couple. And I am pretty sure she was drunk. She was a diehard Bob Seger fan. Preferred to call him Robert. I was totally amused.

She was this skinny woman, still wearing the 80s hair and a fringed leather jacket. She was so excited to be there and was bouncing around like crazy and waving her arms in my face during the whole concert. But she was very nice and that made it easy to sit with her at this concert.

So you can see at this point, a lot of people whipped out there phones to shine lights during this point of the concert. And she got out her lighter. I had to take a picture. And it I prayed that she wouldn't set anything on fire lol.

nicely evocative of the moment - I never realized before, but of course, lighters at concerts in the "old days" would be replaced by cell phone flashlights today, I think I prefer lighters...

Good story! I'm glad that you are tolerant and let her enhance your experience instead of getting upset.

Old school. Very old school. Glad she was nice. We had drunk people behind us at a concert recently and they were completely and totally obnoxious. Ruined the concert for the most part.
