REO Speedwagon Concert

November 12, 2014

A selfie of Brad and me at the concert.

Aubrey text me one day and said that her friend in Kentucky won free tickets to an REO Speedwagon concert, but were unable to go, so Aubrey asked if I would be interested. "Interested? Absolutely!", I said, "But for that to come to pass, the moon and all the stars would need to align just perfectly in the sky, and that's never going to happen!" Well, I am here to testify that miracles do happen!

It's hard to believe that I went to an REO Speedwagon concert twenty seven years ago, when I was just sixteen! This is what the band looked like then!

The concert was held at a brand new event's center in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, about an hours drive from our house.

Even though our seats were towards the back, we still had a great view of the stage.

These pictures were taken with my phone--which shows you what a great venue it was, every seat in the place was a good one.

This was Brad's first concert, so I was hoping he would have a good experience (and want to go to more in the future).

I also expected the concert to be a little more chill than the one I went to twenty seven years ago, especially when you consider the band members are old now (their first hit was in 1971, the year I was born), and my obsession for them occurred towards the end of their reign at the top of the charts (even though they have stayed together all these years, and keep up a crazy touring schedule!). Not to mention, the age of the fans--technically Brad and I should of been on the younger side.

All and all, it was the best date-night I've had in a long time! Even though I have gotten older,

And the band members are all grey, I still love their music, and will continue to listen to them for many years to come!
