Sheiko strikes again

Every review on him is stellar. He's the only act tonight. I know he has two sets, intermission at some point. Maybe an acoustic set then rock out the joint? I've been loving the country shows these past few years personally.
 
Is country popular out your way? Eric Church has a little rock sound to it, which I like.

I've been to a few other country shows around here in the last year, Sara Evans, Aaron Lewis, Thompson Square, Hank Williams Jr. That dude that does that song Wave on Wave, i forget his name, but great song.
 
Surprisingly country is huge here. I never listened to it until I moved south for college and it was kind of popular when I moved back. It's been snowballing ever since. A decent modern country artist will book out Gillette stadium a few nights in a row without issue.

I'd love the see the 3rd play. not many guys quite like him around these days. Arron Lewis too. I've seen him a shitload years back when he was in stained. They played all over this area before they got big but his country efforts are much better imo.
 
A lot of these county artists do awesome rock covers at their concerts, too. Thompson Square surprisingly does sick rock covers. You wouldn't think it about them.
 
All I have to say about Church is he is a damn good showman. That dude put on a 3.5 hr show with a 15 minute break. Not too shabby!!

Now, onto the good stuff! Last night was one of those nights when everything falls into place and a few turns of good luck leave you with some sick memories.

I bought the tickets on a whim, kinda like a impromptu date night. We get into the city and start bar hopping in and around the garden and we eat some edibals :):). everything is perfect up to this point. The concert begins and the place is going nuts, that dude and his guys can play man.

Well, a few songs in we get up and grab another beer but end up standing in the walkway that brings you to the seats. We were standing there, dancing and drinking when one of the garden security guards comes over and tells us we can't be there blah blah blah. Well, we tell him that we are standing because my leg hurts from a surgury. We kinda lied to try and stay where we were because it was way, way better than sitting, my leg wasn't really a problem lol. It can hurt sometimes, like a serious ache, but no issues with it last night.

The guy tells us we should go down to the customer services area and ask if they could accommodate us in someway, they have these handicap areas every so often and that's what we were gunning for, an empty handicap area in the upper deck near our seats, Would have been a sweet spot to watch the show.

The ladies working the desk tell us that we can't use the area that we had asked about :( but said if we were just looking for standing room she could offer us two spots in the pit. We say sure, that would be cool and they gave us these passes and wristbands and send us back out into the crowd.

Didn't have a clue what the pit was it where it was so we ask a random worker where it was. He starts laughing and asks us why we aren't already there. We give him a quick run down of why we are where we are as he is walking us to that pit area. by his reaction to us not having a clue what the pit was I figured something was up.

So we are walking and shooting the shit with him, he makes it to his last corner to the pit area and tells us just to keep walking and to show out wrist bands, the other security folks would point is in the right direction from there. we do as he said and we make it to the pit.

Soooo, the pit is a standing room only area, DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE STAGE!!!!! Our seats were about ten rows from the very back wall in the highest seating area

Other cool things to note:

The wife spotted one of our son's friends and two girls having a tough time at an atm. Turns out their card was shut down and they couldn't get back home, no cash, and the last train was abiut to leave. We threw them some cash and saved their night!! That's a win for them:)

Almost dropped a guy as he was getting kicked out of this bar called Sullivan's tap. He and a buddy were getting into it w the bartender and decided to get in people's faces as they were being escorted out, wifey was almost one of those people. I stepped right up and the bum turned and kept walking. Here he is trying to get his buddy up off the sidewalk as we walk out of the bar. They made it 20 feet out of the bar and ended up like this. Don't know if he got punched, passed out, just fell who knows. What a slob though! Kept yelling something about war with Italy?? o_O here they are lol, the guy with the solo cup was the super angry one26350.jpeg

So that's my Eric Church concert story. Time to hydrate, carb up and meal prep for the daily grind!!
