Sioux City, IA - Fan Reviews

Fan Review - By Stephanie

The Sioux City show was awesome. A security had told me they were expecting between 10,000 and 15,000 people and that the security was going to be extra tight. I was in the front row against the fence so I couldn't tell exactly how many people were there but it was a lot.

The lighting was much better than the other shows I have seen. On 'Let It Go' Phil had a few problems but got back on key. It happened a few songs later too. Despite the heat, the Leps put on a great show.

Of course when you have a crowd that large you get your stupid drunks that try and ruin it for the rest. One guy a few people back from me kept yelling "Play some Lynyrd Skynyrd". I finally turned around and told him to "Shut the f*ck up". Didn't hear another word out of him.

I was bummed when Slang wasn't played. Surprisingly, the crowd sang along to '4 Letter Word'. It must have got airtime around there because everyone knew it.

Near the end of the concert I felt a big push behind me. Some drunk was being stupid. He ended up pushed forward and within seconds the police had him pulled over the snow fence and in handcuffs. I must say the security there was really on top of things. When they were hauling him away Joe was being a smartass and waved goodbye to him. It was hilarious.

Soon after that Joe got of the stage and walked all the way down the center isle they had fenced off that went through the crowd. I thought that took a lot of balls after what had just happened.

There was also an idiot that threw his empty stack of beer glasses on stage and hit Phil in the leg. Phil got this very startled look on his face.

Despite as the BS that happened during the concert I thought it was one of the best I have seen. The guys were very energetic and the crowd was very into it.

Afterwards, I managed to sneak back through the tight security (took a lot of patience). I talked to Phil and asked him when the next album was going to come out. I harassed him about the fact that they seem to have a 3 year pattern. He said they hadn't decided what kind of album they wanted to make next, but asked if a live album would make me happy. I asked if we would get a tour with it and he said Yes. Hell ya! Anything to get another tour out of the Leps soon!.
