The concert was awesome.......................

I am still in awe...... from last night.  I woke up this morning wanting to write my review for my online class.  Part of the reason for attending the concert.  I will be posting my review at the end of this entry.

I want to say HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to every dad in JLand.   "Tough Little Boys" by Gary Allan  <-------- click to view song and video.
Last night, Gary Allan performed this song. I wish I had the CD so I could add it to my journal.  Beautiful song.......



Today, I went to movies and saw Lake House.  Beautiful love story.  At times, I felt like it was speaking to me.  It touched me so deeply.  Let me ask; do you ever feel like you keep people, family or friends in a distance?  Do you honestly open up (whole hearted) to everyone?  Do you feel like you are in prison, inside your self?

That is me then there are time am not.........
Today I was soul search this question.  I am still afraid of rejection.  I am afraid to be alone, or that everyone will not like me for who I am.  I know I have grown so much through the separation and divorce.  I have found some what of myself, but it seems to me that I am still growing.



Now for my review:

Rascal Flatts

 

The Rascal Flatts’ concert was awe-inspiring. The opening of the concert started with The Wrecker’s.  I am not too familiar with their music except for “Leave the Pieces, (girl loses boy).”  Michelle Branch teamed up with Jessica Harp.  Apparently, she took a break from her solo career to tour with her friend as backup singer. Next on stage was Gary Allen; I am familiar with his music.  He sang songs like “Best I’ve Ever Had, (Boy loses girl)” “Man of Me, (Boy meets girl)” “Tough little Boys, (Man dealing with being a father.)” and my favorite “Life Ain’t Always Beautiful, (About life).”  Now, his music stirred up the fans.

     The Amphitheatre was filled with screaming, cheering and clapping fans when the stage lights turned on to announce that Rascal Flatts were entering the stage.  Behind a huge curtain with a back light stand together was Rascal Flatts looking like a Charlie’s Angels pose.  Then the curtain fell and the music started with a stage full of TV screen of moving video.  The scene was breathtaking as they sang songs like “From Time To Time, (girl/boy remembers boy/girl)” “One Good Love, (boy truly loves one girl)” “See Me Through, (boy meets girl)” and “Mayberry, (Missing the old days.).”  I could go on and on with all my beloved songs they chanted.

In between songs, they greeted their fans and each one of the Rascal Flatts would have a solo performs.  They are so down to earth and talented musicians.  Largely, Jay impressed me; he played the guitar, drums and the piano.  In his drum solo performs was with the group drummer Jim; astounding act.  You could perceive that they prepared their performance.

     In my opinion, the best part of the concert is when Rascal Flatts were standing on the platform that lifted them to the air and moved them to the center stage.  This center stage was constructed in middle of audience seating.  They were 20 feet from where I was sitting and they sang “Skin, (girl dealing with cancer),” and as they moved back to the main stage.  They sang my favorite song-“I’m Movin’ On, (girl/boy dealing with a break up).”  The audience sang with group and at times, Gary would stop singing to hear the audience sing; this would happen often through out their presentation.  In performing “What Hurts the Most, (Boy/girl loses girl/boy),” a #1 hit single; it first started with the video on the background TV screen then the group joined in.

Lastly, Rascal Flatts sang “Fast Cars and Freedom, (Boy loves girl)” then “Keep Your Hands To Yourself” from The Georgia Satellites, during this song, Michelle Branch and Gary Allan joined in to end the show. This was my first concert to attend, and I will never forget; a memorable performance.

 

Till next time..............
