This was my 5th BR concert, and it was great! Me, my parents, and my b/f Matt went, and we all enjoyed it. I`ve definitely started to make BR fans out of them!!
Like usual, the show started at 8pm, but there was no opening act this time. Before the show we checked out the merch-stand, and I got a t-shirt and a poster, both with te Greatest Hit`s design on them. Then when we went back to our seats, Moon&Tree (Kristine), a friend from the board came over to say "Hi".
The show started soon after that. They played for an hour and 15 mins, before taking a break for half and hour. Then they played for another hour and 15 mins. Two and a half hours of BR, woohoo!! :-D They played a total of 25 songs - 11 before the break, then about 10 after, with a 3 song encore after that.
During the show, Jim made a few comments about things like: there usually being beer bottles everywhere; people not being able to find their seats; the horns; going to James Hiller for school (woohoo!); the horn players having too much to drink; and that once we were in their we weren`t getting out (who`s complaining?).
During the break we went to the merch-stand again, where Matt and Dad each got a t-shirt, and Mom got two. After the show Dad had to leave, but the rest of us stayed around outside. Eventually Greg came out, so we talked with him a bit, got a few autographs and hugs, and helped him scrap the ice off of the windows of the van he was renting.
Then we waited by the stage doors again...until Jim *finally* came out. We talked to him, and I gave him the barn/calendar I had done for them, which he said they would put in the office. :-) Then I got three pics with him: one by myself, one with mom, and one with Matt. When I got the pic with Jim and Matt, Jim told me to stand in the middle, so as we were posing I`m like "Ooh, my two fvourite guys." Then Matt goes "I feel privileged." And Jim laughs, patts him on the back, and says "You should."
During that time, James, Glenn, and Bob had all come out as well, so I got hugs from them also. Then we all decided to leave, so we said "Bye" to another of my friends - Dianne, and left.
