I won't lie.
I have never really been much of a fan of Jack Johnson.
| The only close up I could get. :) I couldn't get clear photos when I zoomed in. |
However, Dustyn is a huge fan.
He is always listening or singing Jack Johnson songs to Gage.
When I saw that Jack Johnson was coming to concert, there was no way I could pass up getting tickets for Dustyn. I mean lets face it. He has been to numerous Tim McGraw concerts with me.
Plus, it wouldn't hurt me to give Jack Johnson a chance. Before the concert I doubt I had ever listened to an entire song.
When I went to buy tickets for Dustyn's Father's Day, I thought I bought General Admission lawn tickets. We showed up around 5:00 pm so we could get good seats (read: A BETTER PARKING SPOT THAN TIM MCGRAW - ARG!). The gates opened at 5:30 pm. When we got in the gate, we were directed to some girls to get wrist bands. Okay. Whatever.
We head on in. We definitely were not on the lawn.
We had general admission PIT tickets.
This was our view:
| We even had something to lean on, thank goodness! |
| I loved being close enough to watch the bouncers. Hilar. Oh... this is G-Love. He was entertaining. |
Awesome. :)
We did have a few hours to wait.
| At least the sun was to our back. It was a nice warm day! |
Luckily we could sit while waiting. :)
I can now say, I am a fan.
| He had awesome scenes on his screen. |
Dustyn is happy. :)
Less whining from his wife. That can only be good.
The concert was a lot of fun and awesome.
Dustyn said it was his all time favorite concert.
We were about 5 ft from the speakers. It was loud (we had earplugs), but it wasn't as bad as being back in the crowd. It was kind of strange. The cheering and screaming wasn't even bothering our listening experience. It was awesome. It was weird to have your body vibrate to the music. Even our levi's were vibrating.
The downside? Jack Johnson did not move around stage. Boo! Our front row seats (err... standing room only) weren't as close as they could have been.
However, the piano player did come visit us. :) Of course my camera starting struggling at that moment. I did manage to snap a picture.
| Nope, he's not wearing shoes. He was goofy. |
We had a great time. I am glad I can finally stand to listen to another of Dustyn's favorite artists. I have found I usually do not like his music, but eventually it becomes part of my list of favorites. It just takes me awhile to come around. ;)
| that lady is a really good singer! Her name is Paula. |
