Jo was able to get tickets to two concerts last week at our new arena. First up was Pentatonix which is an a cappella group that we first saw with John and Linda at Illinois a bunch of years ago. There were two warm up bands - which apparently is the new normal (the bands were Citizen Queen an all female a cappella group and Rachel Platten) - both of which were very entertaining. Pentatonix also provided an enthusiastic performance with great singing and a fun show. Very amazing for the person who does the beat boxing to make all those different sounds and do it in rhythm seems challenging. The other nice part was now that we are living downtown we could walk to the show and avoid all the traffic tie-ups afterwards.
Next up was Carrie Underwood's latest tour. Once again there were two warm up bands (although in my humble opinion, the warm up bands for Pentatonix won the battle of warm up bands). Interesting stage for Carrie as it was located in the middle of the stadium versus being at one end and had all sorts of cool elevators built in to raise and lower the performers. It was a fun several hours of entertainment along with enjoying some of Carrie's songs that we knew. I still remain amazed that they would elevate Carrie Underwood fifteen to twenty feet in the air without her being strapped in at all. Probably because I know I would walk off the edge at some point during the concert.
