Random thought - security almost completely ruined the show for me. They barged into my row 6 times to do such heroic things as: tell people they couldn't rest their feet on the empty seats in the row in front of them during the opening act, taking folks' joints and pipes away, etc.

I thought being in the 10th row was awesome, and yeah, they have no business ruining my experience like that to tell people they can't have a joint at a rock concert...at my expense.

They showed up literally half a dozen times in an 11 song set, shining their flashlights and pushing us aside so they could barge through the row. I even looked for a complaint # to call at Staples but of course there is none. A great suggestion for the Staples Center: If you don't want weed being smoked in your venue, don't host rock concerts.
