After a very late night enjoying the Willie Nelson concert. With Aaron Lewis as the warm up band. They started right on time at 9 pm and played for about 35 minutes, and it still took all that time for them finally get everyone seated for the 9 pm show. People had a heck of a time finding parking spots in the parking lot. When we walked up at 8 pm they were circling everywhere looking for a spot to park. At 7 pm I had counted 62 rigs but noticed quite a few more came in afterwards.

After that late night we slept in very late until 6:30 this morning, got some coffees and computing done, nice walkabout the resort for a while. Then secured the coach and on the road by 9 am, about 5 minutes before the rain started. We got lucky this morning !
A nice drive through some rain here and there not much traffic for our 143 miles drive to Plattsville. Got here just after noon and all set up then enjoyed the rest of the day, here it is so quite, peaceful and no neighbours, we love it.

Lucky you! The last Willy concert we attended was back in Ohio in the ... heck, I don't remember. BUT... loved hearing Bobbie on the piano... and the whole enchilado! Dang! I still remember the Waylon warm up and all. And even the drunken guy next to us (it was an open outdoors concert)... his lady friend got pissed at him and dumped the ice chest (yes, full of ice) all over his passed out body... oh... what memories. I envy you and every minute of your time. Would love to have been there!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun, but inside. Only the one you lady in front of us against the wall all decked out leather skirt , top and hat, really loved Wille she showed it by all her movements and carrying on. Not a problem though and did not block anybodies view.
DeleteYes and Bobbie on the piano was the icing on the cake.
wow that is so cool, we would have paid the $70.00 ea to see Willy too. Now back to your peace and quiet, nice.
ReplyDeletePeace and quiet yes....it was too cool thats for sure.
DeleteWilly's sister probably tours with him to keep him out of trouble, it seems to find him. I have to give him credit, still touring at 82. :c)
ReplyDeleteYa never know, very well could be, he does keep himself busy.
DeleteThat would really have been a great concert to see and hear. Glad you guys got to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great time, so glad we could see it as well, a fun experience for sure.
DeleteSounds like a great concert, as usual for Willie. Glad you got to see him.
ReplyDeleteIt sure was a great concert, we enjoyed it and the whole experience.
DeleteWhat fun that would be! Looks like you had an amazing time plus the cost wasn't bad at all. It's hard to believe anyone at 82 is still out entertaining folks. That had to take a lot of energy.
ReplyDeleteWe sure did have a fun time. Yes he is doing quite well, even the energy required just to do the tour, would be a lot.
DeleteGlad it was a good show - did't realize Willie was that old.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very good show, and wanted to see him play while he is still around and able.
DeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteYes it sure was.
DeleteWow, sounds like you had a great time. Well worth the $70 each! We once paid about $120 each to go see Bruce Springsteen many years ago and didn't regret spending it then either. Can't believe he is still out there touring at 82 but then maybe that is what keeps he young. ;-)

It was a great time and even though it was expensive for us ended up a pretty good deal after all. Keeping busy keeps you young.
DeleteI would say that you certainly got your moneys worth. Nice to cross that off your bucket list.
ReplyDeleteLooks like I'm at the bottom of your sideboard, dang that problem between Blogger and WordPress.
We sure did have a great time.
DeleteWas wondering where you went to , darn that wordpress!
Our friends saw him in Texas and just loved the show. I had no doubt you two would have a blast! I really don't think $70 for a ticket for that show was out of line at all. Glad y'all had such a grand time.
ReplyDeleteWe did have a blast , and the tickets not too bad either especially with all the extra discounts too.
