Dynamic Duo

I thought I would share with you a couple of shows we got to see a couple of weekends ago. Concerts are a funny thing, when you buy tickets when they go on sale by the time the show comes around you forget how much you paid, so it makes the concert all the more enjoyable. The bad thing is, you may not have planned that the weekend the concerts fall on happens to be the busiest of your life.




So on the actual day that we moved into our new home, Saturday the 19th, after all the crying was over with, we zipped on down to the Usana Amphitheater to see The Police on their reunion tour. Both Jodi and I have a thing for Sting. That's right, I am a grown man (somewhat) and can admit that I am a rabid fan. The minute they started their first song, Jodi turned to me and said that they sounded as good as they did on any album. And they did. It was an incredible show. Having been exhausted from the move during the day, it was nice to sit under the stars and scream a lot.




Then 2 days later on Monday the 21st, we got to go to the same venue and see John Mayer. We absolutely loved the show. It was a beautiful night again. The music was incredible, John put on a great show, but I think at both concerts one of the highlights was sitting down near the entrance before the shows started and people watching. Such an incredible diversified grouping of people. Very entertaining. In fact, they should put on the ticket where it says "No Coolers, Camera's or Recorders", it should say "Come Early and People Watch".

So no concerts for a while, or the only ones we plan on attending will be taking place on the back deck. Amazing what happens in 4 months. The tickets went on sale, then we sold our home and moved. What will the next 4 months bring?

I would definately love to see the Police but I am going to have to admit that I am not much of a Sting guy. For me there was just so much more life in the older stuff. Also, was Elvis Costello on that ticket too (or just a stock internet photo) because you would be racking up some serious envy point with me.
