We entered the Grandstand around 7:30 (show started at 8) and the place packed up really fast. I mean people were texting the big screen (there were big screens at the concert where people can say whatever they want to share their excitement about the concert) I mean there were more "Go Hawks" comments more than anything that made me boo (GO CYCLONES ALL THE WAY!!)
So the Gin Blossoms took the stage a little after 8. I never heard of Gin Blossoms until they played "Everywhere You Go." I was like, "WHAT?! I Heard that song on the radio the other day." And they kept coming into the Grandstands. I was like, "WHOOO!!!" I mean this isn't a stage where you walked down the steps. The lead singer of Gin Blossoms literally jumped off the stage to get into the Grandstand. I was like, "Man that guy has got some long legs." Gin Blossoms played some amazing songs since as "The Way I feel" which I downloaded onto my ITunes. So they played for 45 minutes which was awesome.
Gin Blossoms left the stage around 8:45. Everyone went to go get Beer but some people were chanting "PETER PETER PETER!" after the show. Around 9:15, the lights went out all around the Grandstand and the crowd was going nuts. I mean I never heard so many people scream "PETER!" in my life. People were on their feet (even though the Grandstand seats were quite comfortable) Peter opened the show with a lot of new stuff I never heard before, even on my mom's Itunes. He must of changed guitars quite a few times, (he played acoustic as well) and I ever in my life seen a guy play a guitar like that without breaking a string. He used a special microphone that allowed the belting of the guitar to really come out. It was quite spectacular. But what really amazed me was when Peter and the other lead guitarist (forgot his name) played "Black Hole Sun". I mean that is like my altime FAVORITE rock song and to hear him play that made my night. I was like, "OMG OMG THAT'S LIKE MY FAVORITE SONG!" and to hear him playing it in Guitar version was just taking me by storm.
But EVERYONE in the Grandstand stood on their feet when Peter played "Do you feel like We do?" I mean he electrified the stage and the stage lights were going off like crazy. It was just amazing. I mean even people who weren't even in the Grandstand area could hear Peter playing that song. It was amazing. We were even singing along to the song at the top of our lungs. Everyone was waving their hands in the air and it just electrified the stage. I recommend strongly that you listen to that song and sing along. Next time Peter Frampton comes to town, you better go.
So that sums up the concert. I didn't take any pictures. (I thought cameras weren't allowed into the Grandstand, but I thought wrong.) Hopefully my sister can upload the pictures from her phone and I can post them for all of you either on Facebook, or my blog.
But maybe Peter has uploaded some pics. You can check them out on his site, peterframpton.com
Til more my fellow bloggers, I bid you adieu! And do you feel like I do?
