A couple days late on my concert review, but I doubt anyone has been checking everyday for it. Pictures are here.
Toby Lightman was first. I had no idea who she was, but I had heard her “angels” song before. She was pretty good and I may pick up her cd sometime.
Jewel was up next. I’m a fan of some of Jewel’s older songs like “You were meant for me”, “Foolish Games”, and “Standing Still”. Tuesday night, I was not a fan of anything. “Foolish Games” was way too dramatic and she changed the other two to where she said the words instead of singing them. Does that make sense? She has a pretty strong voice, but every song sounded the same: baby voice, then talking, then loud. Plus, she yodeled. She’s pretty funny in between the songs, but a lot of it seemed staged.
The concert was awesome. Of course I think it would have been better without Jewel and the other girl and just had 4 hours of Rob Thomas, but nobody asked me. I have some pictures that I’ll post tomorrow maybe. For now, you can enjoy the scan of my concert souvenir: a guitar pick from Frankie the hot guitar player.
Anyway, we got to Lexington and checked in at the hotel to get “hootchiefied.” We left the hotel thinking we looked pretty fine. Compared to some of the girls we saw at the concert, we were no where near hootchiefied. I know I’ve said it before, and I will continue to say it, just because they make it in your size, does not mean you should wear it. We did some shopping around the hotel and then went on to Rupp Arena.
