VEGAS OUR COMINGS AND GOINGS BEFORE SHOW:
First it's nice to be home out of that scorching heat. Also I did my home work on the other dudes so I would know somethang about their history since I was going to be seeing them.Anywho I got to Vegas thursday and met up with some friends of mine that live under the ever soooo hot Vegas sun 365 days a year.They like Bo, but are also fans of some of the older dudes and they are in their early thirtys, go figure.
The day that I arrived I went to the desk where they sell tickets to see if I could find out how many the Dallas Ballroom where Bo was to perform held.They said the Ballroom held 1,600 and had around 250 tickets left.I also asked them if we could take pictures and they told me yes,pics no video.Well right before the show I was talking to some people who were setting up the Ballroom for the concert and got a different story.They said no pics allowed it was in there contract with them. I told them this was the first one not allowing pics, they said it was at their request.Anyway I was pissed for this time I had my camera ready set to go for this concert,oh well can't have everythang you want I guess.
Anyway we kept going to the Ballroom to see if the guys had got here yet on the day of the concert.Finally they were setting up thangs for the concert and we asked if Bo and the rest had gotten there yet and they said yes they had.They were on the stage setting up for the show right now.We asked when they would be doing sound check they said around five,asked if we could watch and they said no.I saw John B up on the stage so I knew Bo shouldn't be far behind.Sure enough here comes Bo through a door on the other side of the Ballroom, hair in ponytail with the famous hat on and a backpack.He went up on the stage and shook a few hands and then left.Went out the same door and to an area they had blocked off with tables and chairs for them to sit, rest and talk with one another out of eyes view.
We took off to see if any of the other performers were out and about, because one of my friends had some thangs he wanted CC and LG to sign.Wasn't long before CC came down the hall and we stopped him and my friend got everythang signed and pics.He asked him about LG and CC told him that he doesn't do sound checks normally.But guess what not long after here comes LG, CC must have told him that he had some fans that wanted some thangs singed and pics, LG signed and took pics then said he had to go do sound check.They were both really nice guys and in person LG has a cute little cupie doll face.
Then we decided to go back to the Ballroom to see what Bo was doing,we went over to the blocked off area and we could hear Bo talking and talking what a talker he is.Won't get into what he was saying he might not want it blasted all over the net.Anyway finally Bo came on down the hall and we all got pics.One of Bo's friends that was with him took a pic of myself and my girlfriend with Bo.I just couldn't help myself,I just had to pat Bo's tummy a few times and tell him that he was such a cutie,it didn't faze him in the least.I'm sure he gets this all the time nothing new to him.
Next here comes TR and we get our pics,he is as well a really nice man,mild mannered and soft spoken not anythang like he is on stage,which is crazy.Earlier we were standing in line at the buffet and we were talking about the show we were going to see and low and behold this short blond lady behind us started talking to us about it as well.Guess what she was TR's wife we had a nice talk,she said she was in TR's band and that's how they had met.My gf asked her about being a rock stars wife and all the women around her husband.Her reply was don't ask, don't tell it works great for me,takes all kinds I guess.
Anyway all the guys were running back and forth from their rooms to the Ballroom and all over the casino doin their thang so we took off to get ready for the concert.It was a very nice casino and the Ballroom was very nice as well.They were suppose to start letting us in at seven and the concert was to start at eight.So we went to our rooms to get all pretty for the show.
VEGAS THE CONCERT IT WAS GREAT:
First I'm really glad I got pics before the concert since they weren't allowing any at the show.They said if they caught anyone taking pics they would escort them out of the show.I for sure didn't want to get thrown out, so I wasn't going to even attempt it.They were going to open the doors at seven,but we didn't get in until around seven thirty.People were at the ticket desk picking up tickets and buying tickets it was a very busy night.We went in the Ballroom and found our seats.They were great seats on Bo's side,middle sixth row.We were sitting right in the middle of some hard core TR fans,they were all around us.We figured we had better watch what we said his fans are freakin dedicated to the max.
Well 8:00 came and went,people were still pouring into the Ballroom.Finally at eight thirty the show started and people were still coming in and being seated, the place was packed.Many TR fans,a few Bo fans and a few fans of the others.TR,CC,LG and DL did good on their tunes,I even recognized some of them.What a surprise, LG really got into the rock star thang, moved around the stage,did the posing thang,flipped his hair around, even went to the edge of the stage with his mic,plus he new the words to his tunes.He was having a very good day,I hadn't seen him do any of this in the videos I've seen on the net.
Now to Bo, he did his tunes they were hot and lookin soooo sexy in his suit,hat and shades.Bo sounded soooo good and the crowd loved him,showed him much love and of course we screamed loud for our man.When CC introduced Bo he said that he was a really nice guy with a great voice. Even the TR fans were rockin out during Bo's tunes,that were all around me.Bo did his famous jump after both tunes, he had his sexy goin on.Bo and TR are the only ones that move around on the stage or do the famous jump after a tune.The rest pretty much stay put in front of their mic.What a shock I got when the TR fan next to me, a male said he new Bo was good, but he didn't know that he was this good and he said he liked his tunes.
Then comes the Beatles tribute and out with the costumes.CC and DL's Beatles tunes were more laid back and they were good enough.Bo's,TR's and LG's Beatles tunes were more up beat and some were more rockin, they were my favs.The band was really great they sounded fabulous.From were I was sitting the band and the performers sounded great.Bo and TR are the animated ones.Bo looked so cute acting out the words to everyones tunes.TR is all over the stage flinging his arms and legs all around, at one point he accidentally knocked over the guitar box that they put the words to LG's tunes on.Out comes a guy from behind the stage to clean up the mess and all was good.
The group numbers I really liked they were fun and Bo really made his guitar sing on his guitar solo WMGGW.When Bo did his tune solo WALHFMF he was all over the stage playin with the fans,touchin hands and getin much love from the crowd he was sooooo cute.
All the guys were havin a ball on stage, Bo was flippin picks to the crowd,wavin and winkin of course.Finally it was over and they left the stage the crowd of course wanted an encore so we made much noise to get them back out on the stage.From the sides of the stage the guys were wavin their arms for us to show more love so we got louder and louder.And low and behold here they all came, back out on the stage and they gave us one last tune.The croud was all standing and showing very loud love to them all.
During the encore a couple guys ran up to the stage so we joined them along with many more, we were packed like sardines.Then many pulled out their cameras and started snapping pics of the encore performance.I think one was even doin video,but they were safe,for there was no way that security could ever get through the crowd.Then they did their bow,some leg kicks and they were gone.The crowd went crazy with lots of love for all who performed.
They performed for almost two hours.It was a wild, funny and crazy.As I left I heard many saying that they had enjoyed what they saw,so that was a good thang.Then we were off to to get somethang to eat, for we didn't eat before the show and we were starving.
Anyway all in all the show was well received,the guys were havin a blast and it was a great ending for their Beatles tour.
The next day the guys were still roaming around the casino and from what I could tell they were very good to all fans.Taking pics and signing whatever when a fan approached just like they did the day of the concert before their performance.When we would run into one of them we would tell them that we really enjoyed the concert.They thanked us and smiled real big,it made them happy.
