Concert Junkie

Yes, I go to A LOT of concerts. If I could do anything with my life it would be to be the frontman of a band. Today someone asked me what the best concert I went to see last year was so I thought I would share the top five from the last year or so.

5.) Bon Jovi - Took DeAnna to this one last year (and going again this year) and the dudes are legends. EVERY song they sing is a hit. They sound great live and they have changed with the times (maybe the church could learn a lesson here) and years after the 80’s they are still packing out arenas with NEW music.

4.) Keith Urban Unplugged - DeAnna got to see Keith Urban with only about 2,000 other people and it was incredible. He literally sat on a stool and played the guitar and told the stories behind every song. It was GREAT.

3.) Three Days Grace - I had never heard of them, but they opened for Nickelback (who were awful) and these dudes stole the show. They had people eating out of their hand. I am not hooked on them. These cats are putting out some rocking music.

2.) Michael Buble - Took three chicks (one was my wife) to this concert and the dude was awesome. Honestly, I loved this concert. He is a great performer and it was awesome to watch him to just have the crowd lock in on him. GREAT GREAT show.

1.) Kid Rock - Tim, Adam, Thad, and I went to this show last Tuesday and I was BLOWN AWAY. The dude is GREAT. He is beyond talented. Yes, he is vulgar and I am not sure I would ever go back to another concert but the dude can play anything. He played rock, southern rock, hip hop, country, he played every instrument on stage and I have NEVER seen a crowd respond to a singer like they do him. You can just see it on his face that he loves what he is doing. The dude played for over 3 hours!! It was simple, no video, just a band rocking it out to great music. I think every worship pastor in America should go see him to learn how to lead a crowd of people in music.

In the next month I am going to check out Bon Jovi, Daughtery, and Lifehouse. Did I mention I love concerts?
