Hey Everyone,
Just back from a fantastic show at the Bloomsburg Fair. Taylor has taken me to some interesting spots the last seven months and this was no exception!
After our three hour and fifteen minute drive from New Jersey we checked into our hotel...had a bite to eat...the last thing on my mind before seeing Taylor....but I was outvoted!!
My daughter Stacey, friend Candy and I arrived at the fair just in time to see the sky turn dark and sprinkles begin......DREAD....WHY NOW?....I couldn't stand the thought of this concert being cancelled....we all donned jackets with hoods and made our way in to the grandstand area. Stevn was there....always fun to see him...he has really become a "must see" at all the shows. He is a dolll. We took some new pics with him and found out that he will be in Millersville.
Luckily our seats were covered....we were in the fifth row...before long....SOULFINGER....YES!!!!!!!! What a great feeling...no matter how many times we have seen Taylor and the band it never gets less thrilling....Taylor arrived on the stage like he was shot out of a cannon!!! He ran on and did a big leap right in front of the mike...it was great!!! He looked fantastic in dark jeans...high v-neck shirt and gray sportsjacket...it was nice to see him in a jacket again as we have seen him in t-shirts for the hot and humid part of the tour...(not bad either)...He seems to be mixing the songs up even more the last few show....becoming more bluesy (LOVE IT) and soulful if possible. He did "Dirty Low Down" like I have never heard before....he was so into it...it is hard to describe just how awesome it was....Candy has video of the show posted on the boogie board.....ooooooowwww weeeeee...don't miss it!!
He spotlighted the guys alot, in particular Josh who was OUTSTANDING! Chickin pickin and all. I spoke to Josh afterward and told him how much we appreciated him and he told us that he will be in Millersville....YES!! The guys seemed to be real happy to be together having had a couple of weeks off....very relaxed...especially Loren...lots of smiles from him!
The hightlight of the night for me was when Taylor did "The Right Place"...he didn't do an audience response in the beginning as he has been...With both hands on his heart (sigh) he started singing like I have NEVER heard him....he absolutely blew me away with this song...before I knew it tears were streaming down my face. I have said this before...I have been to many concerts before with many excellent performers BUT I have never seen anyone like Taylor...he gives so much of himself every time...he sings from his heart to your heart flooding you with emotion. If you are lucky enough to see him fifty times he manages to make each night special...always doing something different to remember...He is outstanding.
When he annouonced that he was doing the last song of the evening, Runaround, everyone stormed the stage...he finished with "Long Way Home"...complete with outrageous harp. I was standing right in front of him at the stage...needless to say I enjoyed every moment...what a night!
After the show we walked around the fair...really something to see. They had everything from candy apples to 400 thread count Egyptian shets!! Saw lots of soul patrolers...we heard that Boogie and Josh were taking in the sights also...good for them. Never having been a "fair" person it turned out to be fun...another different experience with Taylor being the draw!! On to Millersville....
