My woife and I went to the best concert last night at the Adelaide entertainment centre. Did'nt go to many things like that when we were JW as it's just not something done here by JW's unless you keep it quiet . I love all sorts of music and even make some of my own. I'd forgotten how loud it can be .
It was the same venue we used to go to district assemblies but now we got real value for our time spent.
The sound tech stuffed up a bit where we were sitting ,as it sounded a bit over modulated when Sheryl Crow played but she was absolutely fantastic ,such a big voice for a tiny woman. I really liked some of here new stuff.
But what a bonus to have two great stars on the same night. John Mellencamp had them eating out of his hand and we had great sing-a-longs.
It surprised me when he said that he came back here after 15 years and wanted to play one of his songs that he had'nt played for 15 years ,and then he revealed why ,as when he was 22 years old , it was here that he actually had his first number 1 hit..... WOW.
And to make the night special he introduced to us his 13 year old son to play guitar ,but he joked it was only part time.
Both of these performers spoke of how bad things had got in America and Mellencamp said he'd written the President to say that the president should hand back the country to Britain as they could'nt do a worse job of running it!!!
He's not frightened to make political comments lol
Anyway ,fantastic show by both and it is good that some things are still very good in the old U S of A
