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.

Wednesday Mar 26, 2025
This was it. THE DAY. It's been their most talked about day of shows together for years and your hosts both unanimously agree that January 4th, 2020 is the greatest day for shows either of them have ever experienced.
The first part of this day starts with them attending a "Day of The Doors" event in Los Angeles. Being that The Doors are both of their all-time favorites, they were on adrenalin overload at this event: They got to get their photo in the re-created window for Morrison Hotel, met guitarist Robby Krieger and of course were in the front row for a performance of his. Plus they got to do much, much more, including having an odd run-in with a former teenage heart throb.
Have a listen to this episode and hear them fan-boy out about their heroes, PLUS hear EXCLUSIVE audio of Krieger and Co. from a private performance that day!! Because you know, those rules don't apply to them....
This is Part 1 of a 2 part episode.
