Ahh Sunday. It was a good day. One of those truly good days from start to finish. Took our time getting to Nashville. Arrived around 5:00 and had dinner before heading over to the venue. Went straight to will call to pick up the tickets with the venue change after the flood and all I was a little nervous about the tickets being there. Alas, they were there and all was super. We waited in line for about half an hour to be the first few in line for the merch stands. Love my shirt. Van said it must have been made just for me.
The quacking best ever doesn’t even really convey how awesome our seats were. Just as I could never ever get across how amazing the entire show was. Van, bless her, was teary almost every song. We had awesome seat neighbors. The girl beside me was the best of them all. She was probably in her late 30s, dressed to the nines with her glass of wine. I thought she would be one of those who sat motionless through the entire thing and then just stands up to stiffly leave when its over. Ha! She was awesome. She and I could barely keep it in the seats. Her crazy dancin’ was encouraging my crazy dancin’ and we were just two crazies breakin it down in our own crazy ways. Vans neighbor was a guy in his late 20s probably who was easily pegged as a hard core like us. He was smiling the entire time and pounding his fists on his legs with vigor.
This is the third time I’ve had such awesome seats to see Ray and didn’t bring my camera. I always regret it a tinge but am always glad I didn’t. I just can’t see me with a camera in Rays face snapping away. That’s just not his way and I wouldn’t want to disrespect him that way.
Every song was amazing. He sounded wonderful and came back out for one more which was also specially just for me....Jolene.
We decided to leave after Ray and not stay for David Gray, which I only partially regret. It was late already and with a 3 hour drive we bailed. I saw what I came to see. Sooo we went on a mad hunt for someone up top to give our tickets to. I was so excited about making someones night that I was running up the steps toward the top like a mad woman. We picked a couple two rows from the very top in the very back. They were so cute. I asked them if they were big David Gray fans and they looked at us all confused but then I told them that we had two second row seats right in the dead center and we were leaving if they wanted them. They asked if I was serious. YES!! I think I was more excited for them than they were for themselves! I know that excitement to sit that close to someone you love. So they jumped up and ran towards the floor! Yay! I hope they enjoyed David’s show as much as I enjoyed Ray’s show. It definitely ended the night on a high. Not that I could really get any higher.
I found a couple videos from the show...

My absolute favorite of the night though was Henry Nearly Killed Me. Oh my God!! I am heartbroken that there’s not a video of it on youtube yet. I don’t even know what happened. I almost broke the chair slapping the seat up and down on the frame. After the song was over I looked at Savanna and the girl beside me and we all had the same look on our faces like....did that just happen? That’s the only time I’ve ever wished I’d recorded a show. I’d rather enjoy it in the moment than trying to hold up a video camera but the second it was over I was immediately sad that I wouldn’t get to experience it again.
