Enjoyed the show! The PPV, eh, not so much. But, that Hamilton crowd was pretty wild. Never seen a crowd of folks so AMPED up to be on camera. Pretty much any time the hard cam was on the crowd opposite of the hard cam or on the side of the hard cam they were absolutely losing their minds. It was as if they couldn’t comprehend appearing on the big screen at the show.
