Eagles

I never thought in a million years that I’d had the chance to see The Eagles – but there it was a chance of a lifetime. They put on a truly great show – taking us through the years of their career together. The music and harmonies were spot on and it was like going back to high school all over again. I didn’t realize they started when I was a freshman in High School. Talking about the Linda Rhondstandt days – oh my, what an era or great music. They did not allow photos – at all…

Billy Joel – Madison Square Garden

I really am not sure where to start on this one! It was the chance of a lifetime to see the one and only Billy Joel in his backyard… aka the 9th show this year at MSG. He said it best when he was performing – one of the best shows I’ve ever seen by the way… He sang “The Entertainer” where he talks about this specific section of the song:  Exact lyrics:  But if I go cold I won’t get sold – I’ll get put in the back in the discount rack – Like another can of beans….

Joe Bonamassa

Before I even give my opinion of this fellow by the name of Joe Bonamassa – I have to give a shout out to Kathy & Shadow – had they not thrown this guy my way I would have NEVER gone to see him in Denver (or the other 7 times the past 2 years) and I would have missed out on one of the BEST concert(s) of my life. I was also lucky enough to spend the evening with a handful of my friends – Sandi, Jason, Mark & Lisa (my newest friend).

Country

Keith Urban

What a great experience – it was a spur of the moment decision to add this concert to my already scheduled trip to see Joe Bonamassa in Denver. I even talked a friend into going, let’s call her Sandi (cause that’s her name) – her first country concert and also hooked up with friends in Denver – it was a great time!

5 Concerts, 12 Bands, 3 States

Leave a comment

What an adventure! When we decided to go on this little “summer” series of concerts I knew it would be fun, but had no clue it would be this awesome.

We would definitely recommend if you want something unique as a vacation plan – this would definitely be something to consider.

Let’s go through each band – but first we must say that ‘all’ of the bands were so awesome and worth seeing. Such a variety, but at the same time, totally and completely entertaining and just breathtaking and awesome performances. Each performance had its moments and they all took us back to yester-year as they were mostly bands from our high school (for Lynda) and grade school (for Debbie). Here goes:

KISS / Def Leppard

Simply put – if you have never seen either band live – you simply have to!

It was probably one of the best concerts we have been to.  We usually say that for each concert, but in this case – we truly had the time of our life!

All I can say about the KISS / Def Leppard concert is AWESOME!!!!  Both bands put on such an amazing show.  For Def Leppard I was singing all the songs right along with them.  KISS I was so in “awe” of the pyrotechnics that I would forget to sing because my jaw was on the ground in amazement and we were so close you coudl feel the ‘heart’ by the pyro show.  Both bands never cease to amaze me on how they never “age” and take me right back to the 80’s like it was yesterday…
