A Big Night! (Katy Perry)

Guess where Lisa and Junie are tonight? 

A fun little guessing game

Ok not many of these look fun but this does. 10 concerts I've been to but one is a lie. Which one?

1. Alice in Chains

2. Kenny Rogers

3. Madonna

4. Metallica

5. Garth Brooks

6. Billy Ray Cyrus

7. Tina Turner

8. New Kids on the Block

9. Prince

10. Alanis Morissette

Good luck

The answer? I've never seen Metallica in concert.

Garth - Live!!!!

Lisa and I saw Garth Brooks in concert tonight. We had great seats, just the two of us on a side aisle in section 207. I didn't take pictures because my phone didn't do the seats justice, and besides I was too busy singing along to every song to even try. Too many great moments to list them here, among them Trisha Yearwood's set, but I was so happy to FINALLY see Garth in concert I teared up a little. This, to me, is on par with seeing Elvis or Michael - he is one of the all- time greats. What a show! :)

Random memories from the concert: 

1. The man two rows directly in front of us proposed to his girlfriend during "Unanswered Prayers" (she accepted)

2. In the melee on the way out an older woman tripped and fell in the street, dropping the contents of her purse. I stopped to help her, handing back a wad of twenties that had fallen. Despite there being officers all around, not one stopped to check on her, and it was a nasty fall.

3. We parked on the top floor of the Hyatt and were hustling to get out before the crowd boxed us in the garage for an hour. We got lucky and caught the elevator. As the doors were closing a woman ran for it, asking us to please hold the doors. Not one person in the elevator, including myself, so much as twitched to help her and the door shut almost on her nose. "Well, that wasn't very sportsmanlike of us," I said, getting a laugh from everyone

4. Judging by the (lack of) length on many of the skirts at the venue, I should go to more country concerts.

5. The backup singer clearly outdid Trisha when she sang part of "Georgia Rain", which Yearwood humorously acknowledged. 

6. Very proud of Milwaukee for nailing the chorus to Yearwood's " How do I live". I think she was genuinely moved.

7. Gracious of Garth to acknowledge most folks came out for the classics, and even nicer for him to thank the crowd for "treating the new songs like they were the old songs."

8. I love the fact that Garth unabashedly adores the limelight and the affection of the crowd. LOVE IT.

9. Lisa didn't think he'd play "The River", and when he did her eyes lit up and from then she was into the concert 110%

 Have I mentioned I love Garth Brooks?? lol

Ed Sheeran
