Tonight MT and I went to see Sheryl Crow in concert at Red Butte Garden. A couple of things: first, the venue is fantastic. I really enjoy going to concerts at RBG. You can take in your own food and beverages (including grown up drinks). It's super casual. You take in your blanket or low-back chairs and you find your spot and enjoy the show. Tonight we got a great spot at the very back of the amphitheater so we had a wall to lean up against. We also could stand up and dance when we wanted without worrying about anyone behind us and we had a good view of the stage. I could see Sheryl all night. It's beautiful in the garden. The sound is very good. The venue only holds about 3,000 people, so even when it's sold out (which it is for nearly every show), it doesn't feel crowded.
Second: Sheryl Crow herself is pretty damn great. The woman has been making music for a long time and she has plenty of hits. She had us rocking and singing along all night. We have seen her at least once but maybe twice before and I thought this was the best show. She's quite petite. Next to some of the guys in her band, she seemed very small. What a great voice.
MT said that this was his favorite show he has seen this year. It was fun and I think part of that has to do with the fact that we are familiar with her music and so we were able to sing along for a lot of the songs. I believe knowing the music adds to the fun factor.
One last thing about the evening: the weather was perfectly gorgeous. September in Utah can be spectacular. It rained a little bit off and on during the day and I was a little concerned about having some rain this evening or the temperature cooling off a lot or winds picking up out of the canyon. None of those things happened, though. There were some clouds, but they were puffy and pretty. The temperature was in the upper 70s and there was no rain or wind.
Overall a wonderful night!
