The First Show!
I am exhausted. Long days, short nights since I have been here. But I did get what I came for. Good times with my friends and GREAT music with some talented musicians. That's what it is all about.
Please do not read this unless you want to know what happened.
Seating. For this arena, row H went straight across, you could not get pass row H, unless you had a bracelet. If you had this bracelet you could go anywhere in front of ROW H, no questions asked. I loved that idea, except once again, if you paid extra for the good seats, it doesn't guarantee you wil actually be in those seats. On the other hand, I have to saym this is an awesome stage setup.
if you are facing the stage, the cw came out to right in front of F. there was a ramp that went down on either side, as far as about the 3rd row I would guess. on stage on either side there was a ramp that went up with a smaller platform, where they guys played from time to time and so did Keith.
Keith spent a lot of time on the catwalk by himself. Loved it, because again we were in row J and anywhere 10 rows back of there would have been awesome.
He admitted a few times to being a bit nervous. Nicole was there but he never mentioned her or dedicated anything to her.
The video screens are 5 veritical panels. They are EXCELLENT quality and have some great visuals up there during the show. One of the coolest was the baby pictures of the band. No baby pictures of Keith though.
He was very energetic, friendly, did read an anniversary sign for a couple which he called up on stage, signed it and then dedicated MMOU to them.
Some of this may be out of order, I am listening to the concert again so am writing things down randomly as they come back to me.
SB, amazing solo as always, he actually layed down on the stage at the end during that show. very hot and can't wait to have that few tonight when I am on the cw. :)
Blackstop. Same thing as last time (how you doing over here, etc) I still love this song!
Better Half-His first walk in to the Audience to get to Stage B. Lots of hugging, etc on the way!
Stage B: Said he couldn't stay away from them back there any longer. LOL. Crowd very excited. Said he was nervous as hell as it was his first night out back on tour. Almost lost his voice on the first few songs, he is freaking out a little.
OIAL-acoustically (not a favorite of mine)
MMOU-Read a sign in the audience of a couple that were celebrating their 25th Anniversary. Called them up, signed their sign and dedicated MMOU to them. Very nice. The guys were on Stage A playing while sitting on stools. I liked this.
Standing Right in Front of you- Loved this song!
Very cool intro for Summer. A bit too much fog machine!
Sweet Thing, crowd was very in to this and I love this song live. The video screen was very cool on this, lots of bright colors, etc.
When they did the intros for the band, they showed baby pictures of all of them. I thought this was very cool, but thought Keith's baby pictures should have been there too.
WWWTBM- went in audience low on ramps for this song.
More to come..off to eat something and need coffee...

Time for Bed
Had a great day! Arrived in Boston, met Rashell at the airport. The SUV we had was pimped out with electrical outlets, usb outlets, it was pretty cool! We stopped for lunch at Subway and arrived at MS about 3ish or so. Ran in to Jen in the lobby and had a few drinks. Then found Debi, Lisa and her mom, Ashley and her mom. They went to dinner, I hopped on a chat with Jake for a few and then went down for more drinks and ran in to Cindy, Kimmy and Adrienne and had more drinks.
Rashell and I went to dinner and saw Jerry and Brad walk by but did not have a chance to talk to them. A bit later, Brian, Jeff Johnson, Lindsay and Chris McHugh came by and I stopped and talked to them for a bit and we ran in to them later on having drinks. Lots of Karaoke and ran in to Chris Hickey, Rusty who sang a mean Karoke song with band and crew singing backup (amazing).
The big scoop of the night was that Sugarland had to cancel their weekend performances with Keith and there was a scramble for replacements. Heard many things throughout the night, but it is Jason Aldean tomorrow, Jason and LBT for Friday and then LBT for Saturday.
Everyone I talked to tonight, told me that the show is amazing, lots of surprises in store. Picked up bits and pieces here and there but will post about it tomorrow as I wasn't supposed to hear what I heard. LOL. Stay tuned...Will post during the show on twitter as it happens.
Pictures not very good, but had a great time!
More tomorrow...I am exhausted!
Didnt take a lot of pictures, but uploaded what I have.

Next Stop Mohegan!
I am not really packed but ready to go anyway. LOL It is 11pm and headed to bed so I can fly out early morning.
I am so excited for Thursday night. New tour, new music, new stage, etc. How exciting!!!! Even though by the end of the summer it will all seem old, Thursday night will all be brand new, like Christmas and you just don't know what you are going to get.
As always it is all about the music and the friends I have met over the past two years. Each show feels like a class reunion which makes this all so much fun!
I know some of you don't want to know what happens on the tour until it is your show. So I want to suggest you stay away from the blog and unfollow me on twitter until you get to go yourself. I really dont' want to ruin any surprises.
I will post info as I get it over the next few days on twitter and will post here at night, with pictures and video.
Feel free to tweet me questions and I promise to answer them after the show. Again only use the concerts09 ID.
happy days are here again!

Only a few more days...
I am getting so excited. Only a few more days to go. Hard to believe it has been over a year since I have seen a full tour show! I have a quick 2 day trip to Minneapolis to take, then home to finish getting ready.
My goal (LOL) is to get all packed up tonight. Everything is on their chargers, tickets, itinerary packed up in my carry on. A ton to do before Wednesday morning, but I sure am ready to roll!
I will probably update Twitter more than the blog and just do a blog entry at night. So if you are not following me on twitter and want to come along to the concert, make sure you add me. The ONLY ID I will be tweeting on for the concerts is the Concerts09, so make sure that is the one you follow on.
Ok off to do wash and start checking off my list!
