One of the most memorable concerts I've been to in San Antonio was several years ago. I worked a Santana concert at Sunken Gardens, selling beer out in the crowd out of beer buckets. I worked a few concerts doing this for extra money, including Soundgarden and Motley Crue (the version without Vince Neil), but none were like this concert. I guess it's the difference in the kind of people who go to different concerts. The STP concert had a lot of minors and I wasn't very busy. Motley Crue was much the same. But the people who went to Santana wanted to DRINK, DRINK, DRINK and they didn't want to get up to go get beer, either. I was so busy it was crazy! At one point I sold 4 buckets of beer without stepping more than 10 feet away from the beer trucks (they were parked right near the port-o-potties, if that explains it).
I don't know if you've ever seen Santana in concert, but it's an experience. It's really just like one long mellow jam session with Carlos Santana's eerily beautiful guitar-playing. That combined with the heat and the craziness made for a very surreal concert experience. But it was great! I made about $300 and got to catch a great concert for free!
