Before most of the acts a big screen was there to tell you who was coming up. The first was Gary Allen. I knew who he was and all of his song - don't have a cd of his though. He was good in person.
We paid $100/ticket and we were still pretty far away. Thank heavens for the big screens. Gary Allen was during the day so his picture came out pretty good. The others as it started getting darker outside and the lights on the screen got brighter the pictures did not turn out so well. Bummer!
Between eat set there was about a 20-30 minute break for take down and set up. Then this next screen came up and the crowd went wild!
Sammy Haggar! He was so awesome! he did about 1/2 and 1/2 his solo stuff and old van halen music. He was so loud! You know the old saying "if it's too loud you are too old." Well I was almost there. Not quite but almost!
Next up was Keith Urban. He did not have a screen. Again, I thought he was ok but not anywhere close to being one of my favorites. Until now. Dang he is so talented. He played lead guitar for just about all his music. He was so good!! OK he has got a great smile too! Whew!
Finally.....
He does a great live concert! I cannot say enough about it. Just incredible! He just about sold out the University of Phoenix stadium. That is where the Cardinals football team plays - there were sooooo many people. Mike and I are both people watchers so we had plenty of entertainment in between concercts.
Ok now, going back to the part of being old. We got to the stadium at 3:00 in the afternoon. At about 10:30 I screamed at Mike because it was so loud he could not hear me - let's leave now so we can avoid the rush out. - It was a great plan because the place was packed BUT there would have been no way if I was younger that I would have reccomended that. Too bad we have to get old. :)
All in all we had a great weekend! I am such a happy woman!
