Maybe a minute later, he returns ... with the singer in tow. A very cool conversation follows, the gist of it was that he just wanted to thank us for being there to see them, that he knew weeknights could be rough, and that they really appreciated people making that effort.

Been going to shows for 34 years, never had that happen before a show. And damned sure not in this era of the paid "meet and greet".

edit to add: that seemingly random fan (I pieced together later) knows the band well, friend of theirs basically, and had noticed us and a few others outside who were clearly not there primarily to see anyone else.

That's super cool!
