I can only reflect back on these shows as a once in a life time type of a concert.   The HOB show was pretty standard, nothing significant except some great people form the metal meet up group.   But the Tampa show--was one for the record books.

Ratt HOB on 7/15/10
Scorpions w Ratt 7/17/0 Tampa Ampitheatre

Ali scored backstage meet/greet passes for Ratt and because of her connections and prior networking we were able to get backstage to meet Scorpions as well.    We had the best time.  Mostly just waiting around to meet Klaus, but while we were there we met and spoke to everyone else.   Including the legendary Warren DiMartini from Ratt.    We also had some great chats w the Bass player from Scorpions and he also  interviewed me on his personal Flip recorder.
