Meeting Jeff..

I took my oldest daughter to see Journey/Def leppard in concert on August 15 at Red Rocks in Denver Co. Being a big Def Leppard fan, I was so pumped! I have only missed one of their concerts since 1982. All things changed when Jeff walked out on stage. HIS VOICE WAS TO DIE FOR!!!!! The next day my daugher found his website and told me had a "MYSpace". I wrote Jeff, and told him how I loved his voice. I didn't get a reply...figured he was busy with the tour. A couple weeks later I heard the tour was coming back through CO. I wrote and asked if this was true. This time he replied. They would be playing in Loveland, CO in October (2006).
I wrote him when I bought my tickets. I told how happy I was because my youngest daughter was going with me. She never listened to "My" music, she only listened to hiphop, and Latino. But as a gift for my 50th birthday...she told me she wanted to go to the concert with me. She wanted to share something I loved. She had never been to a rock concert. Jeff wrote back, and invited my daughter and myself backstage. Can You Believe That??? He wanted my daughter to get the "whole experiance"!
He is such a great man! He has left an impression on my daughter, and she will never forget him, or what he did for us.
Things have not been the same in my household since...My daughter now asks to listen to Journey, and enjoys watching the movie "Rock Star"
Thank you Jeff!

Very, very nice story!

Warm welcome to you mustangldy.

That's incredible!
Shows you just how amazing this man is on and off stage.
Hope to see more of you around mustangldy!
Welcome

Great story Jeff is such a great guy! I'll bet that Jess guy wouldn't have done that
Anyway, thanks for sharing your Jeff story w/ us. I hope to have one of my own in the future, watch out Jeff!

Sherrie...You are too Funny!!!! I read that Forum!

Only Problem was...I asked Jeff if I could take a picture of him with my daughter, and he got on his knees (She is only 4'8"), and put his arm around her. I had taken my daughters camera with me, and didn't check it before I left home. It was full! Of course...no picture! I am only hoping next time they pass through, I can be lucky again!

Sorry for the picture mustangldy.

I hope that with this board you'll learn more about JSS!

That's such a great story. It's too bad the picture didn't come out.

I couldn't resist

I'm sorry about the missed photo, that would suck!

Ughhh. That would be the WORST!
Now I'm going to be really anal about checking my camera all the time

I cannot believe how nice all you guys are!!!
When I met Jeff, I met alot of his friends he hung out with when he lived in Fort Collins, Co. They were great too!
We were sitting in the 19th row from stage and they moved us up to the 3rd row.
It was totally awesome. Probably a once in a life time thing...but one that will never be forgotten!
It seems not only is Jeff a great man..his friends are just as great!

What a wonderful story!!!!
Jeff was so kind!!!

Sorry for the pic... but one next time will come sooner or later... Just check the camera before it happens!!!

Love,
Stefy

Haha strangely enough just before I read this thread I sent him a message on MySpace asking if me and my bf have a chance of meeting him if we hang around at the venue before the gig!

No doubt my bf will have a million questions for him cos he's an aspiring singer

He is awesome that way. I'm glad to see he's not changing with the newfound stardom, so to speak. I've seen others change when the get more popular and it sucks to see them get an overblown ego.
