One Republic / All-American Rejects / Journey Concert

Wednesday brought another set of concerts and a couple of extra special treats. First, originally there were only supposed to be two bands that night (All-American Rejects and Journey), but at the last minute they added One Republic too (which I was more than just a little enthused about). Next, my manager won backstage passes to meet Journey and couldn't use them...so he gave them to me!! WOOT! Plus, the passes afforded the extra benefit of getting in to the arena before the general public. So we also scored ourselves seats on the front row!! Double WOOT! We found out first hand why the front row is so highly sought after (other than no one in front of you). Umm...because you get to interact with the band! After making eye contact with the lead singer several times, he finally came down the stairs and touched our hands! Awesome!

You can see my whole collection of pictures in the montages below...but here are a couple of the highlights.

This is the band One Republic WITH Journey.

These are our new friends Brandon and Shaylee. They saved our front row seats while we were backstage. Thanks guys!


This is Patty, our other new friend working the show. She also helped watch our awesome seats while we were gone.

And I just included this picture because I think it is really awesome!







Lifehouse / Taylor Swift

It was the biggest week of the year at Wal-Mart this week: Shareholder's Week. Wal-Mart may be known for saving people money, but this is the one time they really go all out. As part of the festivities, they host free concerts for everyone in the community.

Tuesday, the special guests were Lifehouse and Taylor Swift. Here is a montage of the pictures I took during the show. Lifehouse is a really good live band. They mixed their old stuff with their new stuff and their most popular stuff with some lesser known numbers. I would definitely pay to see them again.

Taylor Swift did a good job too. However, she is still very young and a little inexperience putting on a good live show. I'm sure that will come with time.

Here are a few of the highlights:
