Things have changed in many ways;
So as we are walking into the concert, there in the parking lot was a bunch of guys tailgating drinking merlot in wine glasses....20 years ago those same guys would have been drinking beer or smoking a joint. GLASS WINE GLASSES...........
So there I am listening to songs from the 80's (to which you could barely make out the lyrics to at the time) - most of which the younger crowd didn't know, surrounded by a bunch of guys my age and slightly older - beer bellies, bald spots and receeding hairlines....certainly not the crowd that was there when I saw them in the 80's - THAT IS FOR SURE.
Maybe because many of them were there with their own kids. It may have been the whole VIP box seat thing where little waitresses walk around and take drink orders that threw me off - i dunno....maybe it was the VIP lounge where you could nibble on hors d'oevres or order a burger, nachos or salad...
FRIGGIN WINE GLASSES!!!!!
They really played well and Great Woods truly sounds amazing. Poe, who is not a "rocker" by any means, really enjoyed the show.

The wine glasses don't sound so bad...Bob and I went to hear Earth Wind and Fire, and their sponsor, all over the lobby, was VIAGRA.!!
