Answer:
"Went to Creed, Sevendust, 3 Doors Down concert on March 25, 2000 and in the

He held out his hand and we headbanged through the guitar solo, when it was done
he let go and walked back to the stage ignoring everyone on the way back.
Then Creed came on and Scott Stapp did the exact same thing except he just
stared at me for like 20 to 30 seconds with a blank statement. Finally, he
blinked and headed back on stage. He didn't acknowledge anyone for a
couple minutes. The whole thing left a strange but familiar feeling."
