Here we are just before the concert chatting with friends who
happen to be seated right behind us.
Listened to Kolbi Callet from consessions--
would rather hang-out with Rachel, Aaron & Lucy Coleman
and Ray's cousin, Jenn-while we chomped caramel popcorn,
laughed at old times and Rob jonesed for a Chicago Dog
cause the ATM machine was angry at his card:)
Don't feel bad, he got one.
I love having a good night out. I feel like we're young again.Scratch that: younger.
So my anticipation is mounting and I'm tripping about how John Mayer is here,
at USANA with me. Soon I'll be singing all of his music WITH him.
I was totally looking forward to the things he would say.
I was describing it to Cami like this: "I know his music. It doesn't matter what he
plays- it's like a tasty little grab-bag, exciting to imagine
what's in there. I'm just waiting to hear what he'll say because I haven't heard
any of that yet."
Now, if you follow John Mayer you know that often times he's criticized for
what he says. He can pop-off and can be crude. But, hey I love him
and we forgive a lot when we love.
One of the first things Rob notices is that John's looking buff.
He wasn't crude, just silly at times. Yeah, he dropped a couple of swears, but he was fun.And yes, I took the pictures. No bag check at USANA
Songs he played: Believe, Gravity, Waiting for the World to Change,Daughters, Bigger than My Body* (fave),
No Such Thing*, Tom Petty's Free Falling, Say,
a George Harrison song, JJ Johnson,
and more.
Cool band and cool horn section.
Cool band and cool horn section.
Rob said he was just o.k. I asked why? Well, wasn't interesting.
No sphinx with sunglasses that bust and expose
shooing lasers and interacts with the audience. Sorry, not a KISS concert,
just a guy, his guitar and some poetic vocals that sometimes
makes me remember and cry.
I'm wish it wasn't over, but that's what happens.
So, I'll pull that bag out every-once-in-a-while and enjoy
what I was there to witness-My History:
I've been to a John Mayer concert and feel a bit more complete.
