Last night John got tickets for Ryan Adams and the Cardinals. The concert was outside at the Red Butte Gardens. The music was GREAT and the venue was beautiful! Since we got the tickets through Goldman Sachs, we had VIP tickets and let me tell you...I think I can get used to the VIP treatment! We got to park in the "Express" parking (maybe 10 yards away), reserved VIP seats front and center and drinks.
The band showed up about 45 mins late, and since we had Eleanor with us, we had to bail a little early. We didn't want to go because we were having such a good time, but Eleanor was starting to get a tired and we didn't want to be the annoying couple with the annoying crying baby. It was also staring to get pretty windy and looking like it might start to rain. I wish we could have stayed longer, but we got to hear a few best songs and all together we had a really fun evening. Nothing beats an outdoor concert!
Every year John and I love going to the Utah Symphony concerts at Deer Valley. This year we invited Ryan and Lori Hacking, two great friends of ours. This was our first time going to the 1812 overture. This concert was by far the best!! The music was so powerful and made even more powerful with the live cannons. During the first half hour the rain starting coming down. We were all a little worried that they were going to cancel, but after about 20 mins or so it let up and turned into a beautiful night! We had such a good time and can't wait for next year....
