Yes, I've been gone for a bit - worked on Saturday and tried to catch up on stuff Sunday, so wasn't on the computer except to grab email.
When last I left you, we had a concert to go to on Sunday (not last Sunday, the Sunday before). We went to Styx / REO Speedwagon / Def Leopard (the bands came out in that order).
Styx rocked! They were energetic, played all their hits, and seemed to really enjoy themselves. I don't think they lost a step at all. They brought the house down with Come Sail Away - Plenty of crowd participation on that one!
REO was a bit of a break. We sat during most of their portion. The music was mellower, and they didn't seem to put out as much effort. I was a bit dissapointed in the performance, but perhaps I would have enjoyed it more if they had come out first - WS and I agreed that them coming out after Styx didn't do them any favors.
Def Leopard, who we saw two years ago, still puts on a hell of a show. They put out the energy to get the crowd going and enjoy entertaining us.
We had a great time and got home just before midnight. Needless to say, I slept in a bit before going to work (still got there at 8 - before many of the Engineers show up).
Hmm, Styx has a concert with Boston in August at Meadowbrook - maybe we'll have to hit up that show; Styx was good enough that I wouldn't mind seeing them again, and I'd love to see how Boston does without Brad Delf.
fantastic bogie, i'd have loved it. i'm impressed you were at work before 8!

You are speaking a language that is foreign to me, but I'm very glad that you and WS had such a grand time.
