the BEST concert EVER!!

This past weekend was my trip down to Utah for the Brad Paisley concert. We started out the day shopping, eating lunch, then getting ready for the concert at our hotel. Heading out to the concert was very memorable! We missed the exit we were supposed to take, so we kept going and got off a different exit.. I called Brady since he used to live down there, and he walked us through getting there (and Andrew, Amanda's GPS guy on her phone..). We accidentally turned down the wrong road, which was actually a highway, so we freaked cause we were going the wrong direction, so Amanda pulls into the other lane, which was a one way and we were going the WRONG way!! So we all scream (no bad words, of course.. ;) )... and Amanda flips around, and we started heading the right way. Needless to say, we made it to the concert about an hour 1/2 early. Which was good because we thought for sure we were going to be way late!

We had amazing tickets! We walked in and thought we would be close, but not like way close. Well, we were wrong- we were six rows back from the STAGE! This picture shows just how close we were. It was loud, but we didn't care! It was too much fun to really notice.

Jimmy Wayne opened the concert. He was very good. He came into the crowd and came right past us. He sings "Do you believe me now". (It's a good song.. look it up!)

Dierks Bentley came out next. He was AMAZING!! Other than being totally cute, he was so into the crowd and so energetic. He came over to the side we were sitting and looked RIGHT at US and was singing, and he pointed and winked at US!! Honestly, we flipped out. There was an older couple behind us laughing their HEADS off at us and telling us to calm down! But, seriously who wouldn't flip if DIERKS BENTLEY looked right at you, made eye contact with you! .. Okay, that was our moment that we felt like teenagers again! :)

*I am mad because my pictures of Dierks aren't great..

but he was sooo good!*

Brad Paisley.. YES we were that close to him! In fact, Kandace touched his leg numerous times.. :) Here's what happened.. right before Brad started, the security guys were like telling people they could go right up next to the stage. We were like no, we dont want to. Well, the older couple behind us were like, you girls should go up there! So we did.. and got right next to the stage! He was soo good! All these guys sounded as good live as they do on the radio. Brad was more into playing his guitar (he plays the guitar in all of his songs), then really connecting with the crowd. But, he is an amazing guitarist, so he was really fun to listen to. And he would stop and talk to the crowd and he was very funny. These guys just seem so down to earth and so nice in person. This was the best concert I have EVER been to. Brad Paisley performed for like 2 1/2 hours. We were tired of standing (we had basically been standing the whole time.. like close to 4 hours). So we took off a little early. As we were walking out, we heard everyone screaming- we turned and Dierks and Jimmy Wayne both were back out on stage RIGHT where we WERE standing!! We freaked! But, we were like oh well! So we left! But, the concert was so entertaining and FUN the whole time. Even better because we had such AWESOME seats!!
