    Concert

    Hellol,

    I am new to this forum, but have been a Blue Rodeo fan for many years.  By far they are my favorite group.  I have seen them 4 times thus far, and love every time more than the last.

    Their music really seems to reflect my own personal feelings.  My wife and I recently caught theier show at the Royal Jubilee in Edmonton....WOW.  Best concert ever, by far.  The acoustics were awesome and the band was sensational.

    They played "hasn't Hit Me Yet", initially Greg (my name to, weird or what I know...hehe) let the audience sing the lyrics and I didn't hold back.  Greg even commented on how good we sounded, due to my vocals I am sure...lol.  

    What an amazing expierience, intimate, open and classy.  I guess that what I love about Blue Rodeo.  I can't wait until the next tour.

    Welcome to the board  WatchingTheSnowFall.  I'm with you in that I can't wait for the next tour either which is saying a lot since this one isn't finished yet.  It sounds like you and your wife had a great time at the show.  Enjoy the board and be sure to jump right in.  Welcome.

    Greg Keelor met Jim Cuddy and then I met you people. Serendipity is a marvellous thing.

    Welcome to the board WatchingTheSnowFall. 

    It still amazes me how Greg (not you) can make the place feel close personal & intimate even when you are surrounded by thousands of others.

    I hope you enjoy your time here.

     Hi Greg!! Welcome to the Forums. People are really nice around here, you'll just love it.

    When I read this part of your post :

    I litterally got goosebumps. Wow. What a great experience! It must have been amazing.

    Again, Welcome.  Mims

    Hello Greg and welcome to the DB. :o)

    I'm glad you enjoyed the Edmonton show. I'm really psyched to be seeing the guys tomorrow night!

    Don't be a stranger, okay?

    Love and understanding are the best answers I've heard yet.
