The MGM Grand Garden on Valentines Day for Billy Joel.......
How could it get much better than that ??
A Great show.
Great sound.
Great lighting.
Great friends
Great crowd - really into the music ! !
However ! ! ! ...............
The one thing every concert goer dreads..................
A huge fat guy in the seat next to you ....... So big he takes his seat and half your seat. aaaagggghhhhh ...............
I wonder about the airplane size seats in the arena
I wonder about the people paying huge amounts of money for floor seating and then having to look through the first three rows of standing arm waving rockers by the stage.
Bummer ...............
I bless the two people who did not show up for the seats right behind us on the isle,
Their absence allowed me sit or stand and enjoy the performance and the fat guy could spread half way into my former seat and could enjoy himself.
Back to the floor - I agree with "Susie R" - the obvious plants in the front row - rocking out and waving to every song make it not so enjoyable for the people behind them not tall enough to see over everyone ......
But - to each his own concert experience.
Billy Joel was spectacular..... two solid hours of quality.
Super hits mixed in with tunes designed to showcase the talent of the band members.
Could not have been better .................... well, except for the seating.
( bless you two where ever you are )
