I know I'm posting this late. Here's my review as posted on
Monkeyville.
Hey Everyone,
Been home for a while now. Had to let it sink in. What an amazing
night of music. I'll start from the top. We left around four. Went to
the zoo for a bit to see the pandas. Well they were sleeping, so much
for cute shots.
We had the hardest time finding the center. Got there around 6:30.
Mapquest directions are the worst. After parking, Me & sis got a
snack before the show. Then the guard took us to our seats.
The Wreckers were good tonight. I only knew the singles. They play a
new song called different truck. I really liked it. Felt kind of bad
for them because Michelle was trying to get people to sing a long &
very few did. I sang some,really loud & bad lol. They played for
about a half an hour.
When the heart was getting bigger People went wild. Once in a life
time started & I sang along. Just badly as before. The band went into
blacktop, everything was fairly quiet. So what did I do I screamed
for Jerry. He looked right up at me & next thing I knew a guitar pick
landed on my chest. Jerry looked to make sure I had it. I couldn't
believe I got one. A big old smile came across my face & started
saying I got it,Igot it & kind of laughing at the same time. Jerry
laughed. After that I was mush.
Keith was really chatty & rockin' out. During sly he added to the
line don't wanna take this life forgranted like like I've been known
to (thanks to betty ford) not sure if that is the exact quote or not.
Loved watching the fan video during days go by. Keith asked us to
sing. I did some. My voice was kind of sore from shouting at Jerry.
They played shirt. It was great to hear it played live.
Keith played ta snipet of pink floyds's money. People were really
getting into it. He flashed a grin & said not tonight. thought I
heard someone say throw it in. The band did an amazing job on the
Joker.
The confetti came down and I caught some. Was neat to see all those
hearts float around. After that Keith & the guys took a break. Sis
asked me if Keith does encores. I nodded yes. He came back & played
Blister in the sun. Thanked us for all the support over the past ten
months. Dedicated girtt to Nicole. Everyone cheered at that. He
eneded with everybody.
Keith dropped one wrist band & the guard gave it to the woman next to
me. I said oh drat looking kind of sad. To my shock she said do you
want it. I said yeah & so she gave it to me. I couldn't believe it.
Thought I was dreaming lol. I said you sure & she was like yeah. So
she told me to piut it on & she took a pic. I'm sorry I can't think
of her name. If your reading this thank you, thank you so much.
I met some fans from Monkeyville; Luanne & Dennis. It was nice
chatting with them. Had a really great night. I'm so tired right now.
I'll post some pix tomorrow. Sis took close to 200. Got lots of
aussome shots. In one Pic Jerry looks like a member of blue man
group.
Whoa I wrote a long post.
Note: I made it on the big screen a lot. Wasn't expecting that. Keith
did the cell phone wave. Looked really cool.
