Ami jumped at it and we quickly picked the Milan show. The first night we arrived, Ami mentioned that a friend-of-a-friend-said that the band usually stayed at the Four Seasons when traveling. We didn't need any other information to make our plan for aperitivo.
We tried to hide our glee when we walked into the bar at the Four Seasons and saw a table filled with band members. We were served by a friendly waiter and Ami and I were enjoying an amazing Pinot Grigio when they got up to leave. I couldn't let the moment pass, and quickly went up to Tim Reynolds and let him know were were excited about the show the next night.
Ahhh - it was a thrill and we thought that it was completely the end of our band interaction.
The concert was our last night together. They played a great show, and we loved seeing the Italian fans react to the music. Once it was over....we thought, 'it couldn't hurt just to see if we can meet a nice security guard that would let us backstage...I mean if they are having a meet-and-greet...and we've come all this way."
A few minutes later, and we were waiting on the ramp leading to the buses when Carter Beaufort was next to us (holding a glass of wine.)
Then Dave Matthews....
As you can tell from the grins, it was a lovely, lovely evening. Thanks AMI!
