Here's RMH's recap or squeecap as she calls it - she put it in three parts so here is part one:
NOTE SHE SAYS PLEASE DON'T QUOTE WHAT HER HUSBAND REMEMBERS DAVID SAYING OUT OF CONTEXT ANYWHERE SINCE IT'S JUST WHAT HE REMEMBERS DAVID SAYING."Tue, 01/20/2009 - 16:02 — rockymountainhi

NOTE: Although I am putting what David said in quotes, it is Mr. RMH’s recollection of what David said, so please do not take any of this out of context and quote it somewhere else.
So, you know the part where he runs into Dave and Crew coming back from shooting hoops in the afternoon before the concert. Turns out they had been at Arifjan (the largest airbase in Kuwait, where everyone comes through into the country) the day before, not performing, just meeting peeps and signing autographs. The scarf that Neal is wearing is called a keffiyeh which he most likely got from the vendors that are outside the gates of the airbase. (Bonus points for spotting Andy in the background) Mr. RMH told me that Neal was very humble and when Mr. RMH asked for a picture (after the discussion of meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!) Neal broke into a huge smile and seemed very glad to have his picture taken.
(Mr. RMH is dismayed that he looks fat next to our boyz. I told him he looks beautiful to me.) He said as soon as he asked for a picture, David came right up next to him and put his arm around him, as he also did later on in the USO tent (more on that later). David is the same height as Mr. RMH (6’) and Mr. RMH said pretty slim.
Anyway, Joey was with David and he had just hurt his arm playing basketball. He appeared that night on stage with his arm in a sling but took it off to play. David gave a big shout out and thanks to the medical staff that helped Joey with his arm, and then said “I wish I could say this is the last time he’ll do anything stupid, but it’s not.”
Mr. RMH and David and Neal had a nice conversation, which included Joey too. Andy and Kyle were there, but didn’t say anything. (OMFG, he met and hung out with all five guys AT ONCE! And survived the bling/tattoo trance)."
