Apparently it was a good concert.  I think I would have thoroughly enjoyed it as well if I had seen more than 10% of it.  I went to the Chris Brown/Rihanna concert last night with great anticipation thinking that I would be able to burrow my way through to the front, but ended up being sardined about three meters from it with a bunch of sweaty teenagers all of whom were taller than me.  Everyone in their failed attempts to get some space, and with it with air, seemed to make it worse as quarters got tighter and tighter throughout the show.  It was almost worse than being in a crowded Chinese train and that is saying a lot.

The 10% of the show that I did see was spectacular though.  The music was great and the light show was amazing.  Neither artist was disappointing entertainment wise or quality of music wise.  You know how sometimes you see people perform live and they sound like crap compared to their records, these two weren’t like that.  Their voices held up even through all the dancing.  D held me up a couple of times so that I could see the full stage.  It was very sweet of him to do so cause I know he was having a tough time with the crowd as well.  He also lost his phone somewhere in the crowd!

I somehow always got stuck behind the the tall people…where the top of my head reaches the top of their shoulders.  There were a couple of occassions where I thought that I had finally found a good spot where I could actually see the performer, but then the movement of the crowd always had me back behind another tall person.  I had a fantastic view of peoples’ sweaty backs though!  All in all it was not one of my better concert experiences, but it was a great concert…aparently.
