Don't Stop Believing!
I went to see Cheap Trick, Heart and Journey on Friday. It was one of the best concerts I've been to because not only did the bands rock, but the crowd was so entertaining. My favourite scenes from the concert included:

- Adorable family of four in front of us. The eight year old son kept on wanting to nap through the whole concert, but when Guitar Hero and Rock Band songs were played, he woke up to rock out.
- Heart covered the Who's "Love, Reign o'er Me" and when Ann Wilson started to sing the lyrics "Only love, can make it rain", it began to pour rain and then when the song finished, the rain stopped. It was unreal, like it was planned or fake rain for the song.
- Hardcore Journey fans beside me. 60 year old party lady slow danced with her husband to "Faithfully" and minutes later she danced with a group of 20 year old guys. I couldn't keep my eyes off this woman. First she was high-fiving and rocking out with the 20 year old guys, then swaying with them to Journey's slower songs and then grinding with her husband and then almost giving a lap dance to one of the younger guys.

Man, I love witnessing stuff like that. I need to go to more classic rock shows!

Oh, here's my favourite Journey music video. This might be my favourite music video from the 80's, minus "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" by The Gap Band.

I tried to yell it from the lawn. I don't know if he heard me. I also yelled "WAIT FOR LESLIE TO GET HERE!!!!" and I guess he didn't hear me say that either. :(

That sucks you got stuck in traffic.

HAHAHA!

Did you at least enjoy their set? Did you recognize songs from the mix I made y'all?

Yeah! For sure. I couldn't believe how many songs I recognized. I don't wanna brag because you missed it, but I'm sure you'd agree since you've seen them before, they put on a great show. I loved when one of them brought out the 3 in 1 guitar. I'm sure you know who and what I'm talking about, right?

Brag away! I'm glad you got to see them. Of course I know about that guitar.



Okay, if we end up going to another Halloween party besides our own, I'm gonna take out the Rick Nielsen costume and wear it again!

Leslie - that was so uncool that the show started right at 7pm. I wish we could have hung out with you guys, you would have loved the crowd around us!

Separate Ways music video is the most perfect rock video of all time!

I think classic rock shows are the way to go. We had so many characters around us - you didn't even mention the united nations of lesbians and the stoned dude trying to party with them. There was also girl with the 'I'm the annoying friend' shirt.
Oh man, after Friday I'm thinking maybe we should go see the Who at Copps. And rent a limo - "Mermaid Limo"!!

I actually really wanna go see the Who at Copps. If I wasn't in school and working instead, I'd say FOR SURE let's go.

I know - it's so expensive. Plus, it's like half a Who since Roger and Pete are the only surviving members.

The best thing about the Separate Ways video is when Jonathan Cain plays "air keyboards!"

We saw someone at the show "air keyboard" and we didn't even make the connection to this video, but we laughed at how lame they were acting. Now, I think that person was COOL!! hahaha. I also like the part when he's playing keyboard on the wall. Man, there's too many cool parts in that video!
