Jason Miller of 808shows.com, left, talked backstage with Paul Perri and Brian Hasal after the MCR concert. Hasal, stage manager of Disney's "The Lion King" touring show, took a day off without pay and drove 100 miles to see MCR when "Lion King" was in Cincinnati only to find out when he reached Columbus, Ohio, that the band had canceled its show. Hasal met Perri when he was helping with "Lion King" here, and Perri made him a member of the MCR concert sound crew so he could finally see them in concert.
