I have a very sick little girl this morning so I may as well spend my time sitting here doing something useful and update my blog! Our last Kenny concert for this summer was on Saturday and it was fabulous and miserable all at the same time. We left our hotel around 10 AM, got something to eat and then stood in line until the doors opened at 2:30.
Then once we got inside we got to stand until 9 PM waiting for Kenny to come on.
The opening acts started at 4 and they were all pretty good but of course Kenny is the man I was there to see. He came on at about 9:15 looking as good as ever.
He played his normal set plus a couple others but when he got to "Better as a Memory" he started crying. Kenny recently announced that he won't be doing a big tour next year so this was the last time we'd hear 60,000 people singing back to him on stage for a long time. He couldn't finish the song but he just stood there and let us sing it to him as tears rolled down his face. Kenny fans don't just love Kenny because he sings our favorite songs. Touring with Kenny is a way of life for a lot of us. We're all just as lost without him as he is without us. There were less bras thrown on stage and more tears cried at this last show.
We hope you enjoy your break Kenny but we're certainly going to miss you next year! He's announced there will be 10-12 shows next year in small venues and you can bet we'll be there if at all possible.
*I know there are probably a million typos and incorrect use of language but I'm running on very little sleep so you'll have to ignore it.
What are you going to do with yourself next summer??? We'll have to plan a road trip of our own!
