Side changing is the most logical theory. It should b enoted that the patch stayed on the same eye both nights at the Wiltern though.

Some one in the crowd behind me had an eye patch that they wanted give Shane on top of the one that he already had. I think I over heard someone say they threw an eye patch on stage or gave him an eye patch last year or something along these lines. Could have been complete bollocks or my imagination as well.
