Congrats on the shows, David.
As for celebrities being denied entrance.....how about band members who
weren't able to get into their own gigs?
It's happened to members of Goddo and Honeymoon Suite over the years. With
Goddo it was the drummer who stepped backstage after soundcheck to have a
cigarette and after being unable to re-enter through the stage door, he was
denied acces through the front door by goons with no necks.
Similarly, two members of Honeymoon Suite arrived late to a gig one night
and couldn't get in....their set was delayed nearly 45 minutes because no
one thought to look outside to see if they were standing out there. It took
the FANS waiting in line to convince the door loogans that these guys were
IN THE BAND!
