I'm getting old...dammit.
Last night was the make up/benefit concert for BVJ 2009/Donna Moore (thanks mama and papa bear for the tickets - thanks for travelling the world, so Brittany and I could go!! Love you, see you when you get home!)...and i'm exhausted and deaf, but had a blast! (Thanks Tash for watching my baby ninja while I enjoyed a night out!! Love you!)
The night had its somber moments...opening with a fiddle playing 'Amazing Grace' in honor of the lost life. There were moments of silence to be had, as well a party atmosphere to be created...Both Rexall Place and Ticketmaster came through for the celebration of life last night, as they both donated their services...Rexall donated the building for free, and Tickemaster waived all of the usual fees that you would incur with getting tickets through them...and we all know how lovely those service charges are!
The estimate thus far is that over $20,000 was raised for the Donna Moore Trust Fund last night to benefit her two boys.
Tim McGraw was fantastic as usual...playing hit after hit, letting the fans scream out the lyrics. I have to say, in all of the shows that I have attended, Tim McGraw was the most 'fan friendly'...Performing on a round stage, he made sure he touched hands with every single person that stood at the fence to shake his hand...no matter if he had to wait for you to arrive as you were a slow walker or not...he waited, touched hands (hello Swine Flu epidemic people!! hahaha...i'd be bathing in hand sanitizer if I were him, haha), and continued on performing...
All in all...a great night!
He's such a fantastic performer. When I saw the Soul2Soul tour, it was quite obvious who the "opener" was (Faith) and who the headliner was (Tim). She's fabulous, but he's amazing!!
