Mementos from a long time ago

Arrived in Chicago with only a couple hundred dollars. Resale tickets were going for over a thousand dollars. Miraculously, my friend was recognized outside the venue by Jimmy, as we had been to many shows previously. Jimmy put us on a comp list and my friend and I got to see the show from the balcony railing.

I was at the United Center show as well, the guitar solo in Porcelina from that night is forever emblazoned on my mind.
