Story from a fan who got Billie's acoustic guitar

By Jimmy /Sep. 3, 2010 / Comments

[newsImage]090310_andrewb.jpg[/newsImage]At the opening night of the second leg of the 21st Century Breakdown North American tour in Camden, New Jersey, after Billie had played his acoustic encore, he gave away has acoustic guitar to a lucky fan in the audience. That lucky fan was Andrew Baron and he shared his story of that night with Gibson's Acoustic Blog.

After that final song, Billie Joe started to take off his guitar strap and it seemed like he was planning to give away the guitar. He walked over right in front of me, pointed at me, and said that the guitar was mine. Security told me to climb over the barricade and get on stage. They handed me the guitar and ran me straight backstage to a VIP room.
