hah, I heard that, too. Of course the stretch of 50s and 60s we've enjoyed has to end just before the show. I'll wear a hat.

I asked this question about SF and didn't get a good answer, so I'll tell you what worked for me (in case you don't check the other thread): I got there at 4:00 and a big silver tour bus was already parked at the stage door, but another bus arrived at 4:30 with Gem and Andy aboard. They paused to greet about 10 of us fans before they went in to soundcheck. Then an average red Chevy minivan pulled up at 5:30 and although we didn't notice Liam jump out and run inside the club, we heard his voice join the soundcheck right afterward! We continued to stand around the stage door until 6:30 when soundcheck ended, but by then we had our eyes on the red minivan, which had returned. So when Liam dashed out again, our group of about 25 fans was ready to call out to him and he stopped briefly. (So I got photos with all three of them, and gave Liam a painting I had made for him.)
I guess Gem and Andy also talked to fans after the show in SF, but I didn't stick around to find out.
On the other hand, I also stood around the stage door the next day in LA for hours (from 3:00 to 6:00) and never saw a single band member. So glad it worked out the day before! Apparently Gem and Andy went in through the club's front door (!?!) to soundcheck and Liam never soundchecked at all, just showed up at the stage door at 8:45. There were only a few fans outside at that point, because most of us had gone inside as soon as the doors opened to get good positions by the barricade.
Good luck to everyone, and have fun!

I hear there is a big after show party going on after the concert in Boston. Liam's brother Paul is on tour with them and will be Dj'ing the after show party at the Foundation room . Someone said it starts around 10 pm. Sounds like a great evening ahead for all.

The foundation room is in the House of Blues, so I wouldn't bother waiting outside after the gig.

^ thanks! Always nice to hear that somebody grabbed the recordings and enjoyed them! Downloading yours right now. I ended up recording the show too, but mine won't be up for a week or two (whenever I get a break from final season).
I ended meeting Liam after the show, which was pretty damn random. I almost ran right into him infront of the 7/11 in Kenmore literally 5 minutes after the show ended
