My family once talked about what our "dream concerts" would be. Like if Rascal Flatts opened for the Beatles. Or REO Speedwagon opened for Elton John. (That would be Tay's dream concert, by the way, not mine.) Something to think about. What would your dream concert be?
I have to say that my dream concert for the Summer of 2011 would be if Sara Bareilles opened for Sugarland. And she did! At Usana. On Saturday night. It was awesome!
My friend Sara introduced me to Sara Bareilles when I stayed with her on a trip to New York. (Introduced me to her music. Not the real Sara B. Although I know we would all be good friends if we actually knew each other. And Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland would probably want to hang with us too.) So listening to Sara Bareilles always reminds me of being with Sara in Manhattan and what a great time we had.
Listening to Sara Bareilles perform live did not disappoint. I love her voice, love her emotion, love her lyrics. I mean really. Don't you wish you could write lyrics like, "You sound so innocent, all full of good intent, swear you know best. But you expect me to jump up onboard with you and ride off into your delusional sunset." And then you could introduce the song at a concert by saying "This is for all the girls out there who have a d-bag in their life they need to get rid of." Pure genius. I would sell my soul to the devil to be able to write things like that.
Moving on... Sugarland was amazing as well. Very upbeat, very raw, very real. I was on my feet the whole night and didn't want to leave when the concert was over. If they came back tonight - or every night this week - I would be there.
