MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

Steve was backstage. I doubt he had "brave the crowds". Still nice to hear this report.

Good for him. Life is meant to be enjoyed.

Let's go MDN. I want to see the Photoshop of Jobs riding the Mash Pit of swaying iPhones right NOW!

Uhm.... this is news?

Might as well bring back all the Woz on Dancing with the Stars crap. Leave the celebrity spotting news to whatever cheesy, self-inflated magazines you got rotting away the media world in the newsstands.

'Proof of life' is always news.

Why shouldn't he enjoy a concert? It's been made pretty obvious he's a fan of music. Coldplay is a great band and the guy just had a liver transplant. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Uhm...yes this is news because there has been very little "official" word on his condition, and a liver transplant is actually a big deal from the medical perspective.

That he is feeling good enough to go out to a concert (and healthy enough to go into a large crowd and be exposed to germs while taking immunosupressant drugs required to prevent organ rejection) is good news.

I find it amusing when people state, "Is this news" because you know damn well that they read every single work of the article anyway.

aCe could have just scanned the headlines and skipped right by it, but aCe took the time to click and read the entire article and then click and share.

He was one of the original investors for that amphitheatre, I am sure he has at least one VIP box to chill in when he wants.
Hope he enjoyed the show as much as I did.

@aCe...yes this is news. Think of Steve as a person you are very interested in...like a family member or a loved one or a parent. as most of us do here in one way shape or form. If one of your family went through hell and back with a near-fatal illness and was on the road to recovery AND given that you are out of town and rarely received any news, wouldn't you find this to be news, and very happy news at that?

I certainly do and makes me feel happy that he is on the road to recovery.

Big deal. Steve Ballmer will be in Walker, MN tonight to see Foghat. Suck it, MAC dorks. Good tickets are still available.

Your potential. Our passion.™

I can relate to the guy, If I ever had a chance to meet Steve, I would not know what to say, except 'Thank You" and I am sure I would look and sound like a twit!

And all respect for Steve Jobs just went out the window. Better than Mozart? Eff that. Go die Coldplay. And take your crappy Viva la Vida with you.

You know how I know you're gay? Because you listen to Coldplay.

I disagree, I have the utmost respect for Steve Jobs. I think he's a visionary and I think i'd be mildly tongue tied if i bumped into him in person too. Apple saved me from a life of frustration with Windows and helped me discover my love and talent for photography, I'll always be grateful for that.
Steve is cool.

Hey, Just went to the Pat Benatar concert in Orlando and got to be 6 back from the stage. I downloaded a bic lighter app for the iPhone for me and the "other" so we could "flick our bics" during the songs.

Took me back. And..... no burnt hands.

Now that Jobs has apparently over come his "common bug", er, liver transplant we can all take a deep breath. It is comforting to know that the cancer that has afflicted Jobs only metastasized to his liver, at least, that's what Apple has stated. No doubt when Jobs does eventually die Apple will confirm his "extended sabbatical" or "celestial vacation".

Too bad no one present had the time to actually photograph Jobs with their iPhone. Still, any unsubtantiated rumor is enough for the Apple fanboi. Who needs confirmation when wishful thinkinh will suffice.

... I heard that the person seen was a disease-free double to provide the illusion that Jobs has regained his strength following surgery and his massive consumption of immune-suppressing medications.

I saw Steve Jobs in the emergency department, does that count?

Foghat and Ballmer? No wonder good tickets are still available. They will still be available right up til curtain time.

Seeing Monkeyboy dance to that is an injury risk to anyone around him so they need to clear the front stage area of all people (and chairs of course....lol).

Foghat only had a few good tunes anyway.

"Steve Ballmer will be in Walker, MN tonight to see Foghat. Suck it, MAC dorks. Good tickets are still available."

And I hear the Foghat tickets are a whole lot cheaper. Cheaper is good!

"Good tickets are still available" ?

For Foghat Concert, with special guest appearance by Ballmer ?

News Flash: Steve Jobs put on his shoes this morning!

Jul 16, 09 - 05:27 pm Comment from: Not Bill

Long live Steve Jobs.

Think about how great this news is compared to what we could be hearing about him.

I hope Radiohead doesn't become the new Jesusfish-O-L-D-P-L-A-Y, or Arcade Fire!

Too bad when they gave Jobs a new liver they didn't give him better taste in music as well.

Watch as Coldplay now rockets to the top of the iTMS sales charts as sniveling Apple fanboys rush to download the latest Coldplay album so that they, too, can Be Like Steve™.

@Gavin

Couldn't have said it better. I too am a Windows free photographer and I probably would also be tongue tied if I ran into Jobs. Just as I was when I met George Lucas.
I'm not that way when I meet most other famous people, but that one kind of got to me.

I guess Steve Jobs really has "rock star" status.
