Dude William has been in the band for at least 16 years or longer now. They couldn't have found a better guy. He doesn't try to be Layne, but he doesn't butcher any of the old songs.
We were in VIP but not for stage 2. ;) No lines, bar and back stage entrance to the stage. Pretty cool. Worth the extra money. No broken bones or dehydration. Although, I was pretty shot after the show.
