The concert was great!!!!
We left our house 50 minutes before the concert, prepurchased a ticket for the indoor parking garage (it was -30 outside). After being backed up in traffic just from people getting to the MTS centre to see Bon Jovi we get to the parking garage at 7:50 only to see every freaking parking space GONE. We go back to the lady at the booth to ask her if there are any spots left and she tells us to park anywhere we can - along a wall or double park. So we found a spot right at the door to the elevator. Not a legal parking spot but a spot mind you. We rush in to the centre and to our seats just as Hedley was in the middle of his first song. Jacob was wearing these skinny red jeans which not many guys could pull off wearing but he did just fine. Hedley only played for 25 minutes which was a disappointment but they kicked ass anyways.
Then finally the lights went down and this twangy country muisc started and when the lights came up they had a guy playing guitar on stage along with a woman and a violin (or fiddle or are they the same?
) Then one at a time the guys from the band went on stage from these doors (which we were seated behind the stage so we could see them and were screaming long before any of the other audience members could see them). We were about 10 rows back so we had fairly good seats. Then Jon finally gets on stage and sings Lonesome highway.
He played I think two of his new songs then a few of his old and carried on like that through most of the night. In the middle of the set Ritchie Sambora took the mic and performed 'these days'. He did great but he looked puffy and tired. Someone told me that he was in rehab this year for alcohol. Then the lights went out and when they came back on Jon was in the middle of the crowd on a tiny stage and he sang 'making a memory' and 'bed of roses' to which he picked a girl in the audience to dance with and then gave her a kiss. Then it was bad medicine time (yahoo). He came back for an encore and sang 'run, run Rudolph', 'sleep when I'm dead' and 'wanted dead or alive'.
All in all a great show. Can't wait to hear how they do in Vancouver or how similar the show will be. Let me know!
