Anyone who knows me knows that I have been to A LOT of concerts over the years. My sister likes to give me 5 Things topics to use. Her FAVORITE singer of all time is Kenny Chesney. She is going to his show tomorrow, so in her honor, my 5 favorite concerts:
1. Counting Crows & John Mayer
Starlake
August 14th, 2003
Not because its the best show I have ever seen... I really didn't see much of it actually! But its where Gary and I met, most important night of my life, therefore a favorite concert!
2. Britney Spears Circus Tour
Consol Energy Center
March 27th, 2009
I love Britney Spears, I don't care what anybody says! And her Circus tour was phenomenal. Truly, such an amazing show from beginning to end. And it was a "show"!
3. The Clarks
123 Pleasant Street
June 2004 (rough estimate)
I have seen The Clarks more times than I should really admit. hahaha But I think my favorite place to see them is this little bar in Morgantown. I saw them there a few times but one of them all my girlfriends from home came down and we were right up front leaning on the stage. And we got lots of pictures with them afterwards. It was really awesome!
4. Farm Aid
Starlake
September 21, 2002
This was absolutely one of the coolest experiences of my life! If you don't know about Farm Aid, please check out their website (www.farmaid.org) but the main people in charge are Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young and Dave Matthews. Well first of all, I went to a Toby Keith concert at Starlake Friday night, went to work early Saturday morning, left work in time to get back out to Starlake Saturday afternoon to go to Farm Aid! Oh to be 19 again... haha So those four guys all perform, plus other people who want to come out and support the cause. Awesome Cause. Awesome Event. And I just adore John Mellencamp so so so much!
5. Jamboree In The Hills
Belmont, Ohio
July 2004
My Dad always wanted to go to Jamboree in the Hills, so in 2004 Stef and I decided to take him. Well it poured down rain and everything was a big muddy mess. But we were all still there to party and having a good time. My Dad couldn't wait to see ZZ Top. They were going to be the last act of the night. Well I made some new friends and drank too much of their cranberry juice with vodka and got sick. Dad had to carry me to the car and we missed ZZ Top.... He reminds me of that all too often! I think I made it up to him though when we got him ZZ Top tickets at Starlake a few years later!
