Follow along in the music and concert adventures of Andy Gates and Mackenzie McAninch, as fans, managers, back-stage access and friends of bands. In this podcast they tell adventurous, inspirational, comical and at times emotional stories from live performance experiences shared together. Combined they have seen well over 2,000 shows, and many together. Re-live specific shows with stories and sometimes sound bites as they describe their experiences at these concerts, though often from the best seats in the house as they both believe there is no point in ever sitting in a bad seat; usually. Whether they were in the front row of some of the most iconic shows over the past decade, or rubbing elbows with the likes of Jack Black while dressed like idiots at a black tie affair, their stories get asked to be repeated over and over. They’re finally bringing these tales to the tape, with witty and comical banter as these two best friends also argue over almost everything, including their favorite baseball teams as rivals Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. The stories will likely also venture off into stories of their rather checkered pasts as well, so you’ll want to listen along for these details! They’ll explain that the combination of the two of them together at these shows often brings about a magic that simply doesn’t happen when they’re apart at shows. And because of that, together they have gotten to experience moments that most concert goers only dream of. “Those rules don’t apply to me” has been a slogan for Andy for years, hence the naming of this podcast: “Those Rules Don’t Apply To Us.” While typical concert goers usually have average concert experiences, Andy and Mackenzie never settle for that and often push the boundary limits of standards in order to share stories like these.

Andy and Mackenzie mention in this episode that they believe that Chris Cornell was perhaps the best rock male vocalist of his generation. The guys were incredibly lucky to not only experience seeing Cornell solo at the prestigious Benaroya Hall in Seattle in 2015, but of course they had good seats. Listen along as they recount this performance with energetic and at time emotional stories, plus listen to audio from the show at arguably the best sounding room in all of Seattle. Seriously, you'll feel like you're in the room if you listen to these clips and close your eyes.....
They'll also talk a bit about other Cornell performances and also his untimely passing, how that effected them, and where they were the day they heard the news.
