Good morning campers!

WOW!!!! Details are fuzzy but I can honestly say that was the best show I have seen....and I've seen, how many? Well, lots.

He was just awesome. There was dancing, interacting with the crowd, and an awesome, awesome stool song. OMG I think some of us nearly dropped during that stool song. You could have heard a soul patroler wheeze (I just hate the "pin drop" cliche)

He was out at the busses before the show, after the show, and again after the show, signing stuff and just talking to us. Just talking and laughing with us. So very cool.

I got my first set list.....and he signed it after the show, the second time he came out. He visited with us, laughed & was so relaxed.

I was able to get a few shots of him on the stool, the only ones I took as there seemed to be a no camera policy at the venue. I did not care, I enjoyed the show, danced like a fool.....and when he came over to my corner of the world, and did that crazy legs dance, followed by the onion shake, and it went on for awhile, I damn near fell down. I hope I was not drooling. I hope my mouth was closed and I maintained some shred of dignity.....as he was looking me in the eye. Thought I imagined it but several of my friends witnessed this from their seats.

...so today I must race home for a lobster bake for 200 (anyone heard that yet ), then the bonfire & fireworks on the beach with a live band.

Was the trip up to Concord worth it? YES No question about it.
I'm SO GLAD I came up.
THANK YOU to all those that urged me along, and made it possible.

....and a HUGE THANK YOU to Taylor for another memorable, if not the most memorable, concert experience.

Here is one of the stool series

anyone know how to make it large enough to see?
I know it is fuzzy....first time I've used Michael's camera...but you can see who it is on the stool!!

Nice picture! If you click on the thumbnail, it opens a new window that displays the picture in full screen size.

posted more photos in the stool photos thread.....

Hey Grimsby what was the song? So glad you had a great time.
Did anyone get video? Have a safe ride back keep the wheels on

I heard the song was Dan Fogelberg's Same Old Lang Syne...

Yes, you are correct on the song. It was a very moving moment, the crowd was so quiet that you'd think we had all gone home. He had to strain a little on some of the high parts, and you could tell his voice was tired then, but overall it was a really good performance.

As grimsby said, it was a great show...and a long show...an hour and a half. He was really in a funky mood and played alot with the band and the crowd, which was very appreciative. Another funny moment during The Right Place, when he started singing the first line "If its..." and he stopped and the crowd continued. He looked out and smiled, then did it again, giving us the ear, so several of us finished the line. He gave a look to the crowd like he was impressed we sang it so well. Then he held out his mike and said "OK, I quit" while grinning from ear to ear.

He was out signing after the show, and the band members were roaming around. I spoke with Brian and Josh a little about if they thought they would play with Taylor again. They said they did not know when the next tour would be and what they would be doing at that time. They are really great, friendly guys and I told them that the Soul Patrol would love it if they came back on the next tour. I also ran into Felix as I was walking to the car, he was all smiles and seemed really pumped. We told him how much we enjoyed the show.

On to the Big E...

Yes it was that song, it was great! Thought he'd lose his voice on the high parts! LOL

HE was his best at this show as I've ever seen him! As for the crowd well I had two behind me that not ONE TIME GOT UP! So of course I had to sit and act like freak dancing in my seat! If the crowd got up more it would have soooooo much better!

Still the best was HIM, he was REALLY like he said, IN A GOOD MOOD! I drove back home 3 hours right after so missed the fun at the bus but did get to meet soooo many great people!

Liz, forgot to get my pin!

M&G was great, no camera thing wasn't great but pics would have looked the same as Portland, he wore the same shirt!
