OK, here goes.... It ended up being a beautiful night, weather wise, dry and cool. Venue wise, UGH! Our seats were almost back to the 'lawn' seating but at least on an aisle and we brought our binoculars - that was a good thing. The sign out front said different things than the people inside..... and the sign was nicer. Seems we weren't allowed to even use our cell phones they let us take in after seeing them when they went thru our things. No using your CAMERAS on the inside either? But David still got a few good pictures. Now, I mean when MR. TYSON tells the crowd to 'get out your cell phones, call a friend and tell them the TEMPTATIONS are in town and they're goin CRAZY' right before they break into GET READY..... guess who I'm gonna listen to. Oh yeah, the man! So, we brought a few friends. Nikki and I found out real fast we weren't gonna get near the stage. I don't even think the ROSE would have worked but wait till ya hear how awesome the night was.
We saw Al right away. Got hugs, said our hello's and he autographed one of his CD's for us. He is always so sweet to my babies! that means alot to a momma bear.
The TOPS were adorable! They came out so full of energy and even did alot of steps I've never seen them do! They were in red sequin jackets with red pants. I must tell ya I really had no idea just how fine THEO was till we saw him. Oh yeah, the girls loved him too! It was one fun song after another! THEO sang w/out the mike a couple of times and the crowd loved it. They put on a great show and I'm glad we got to see them. THEO even sang a couple of verses of PROMISE.
HOWEVER, the Tops had to leave, and in about 15 mins AL comes out, lites go down and here they are! Walkin out there to big time screams. The crowd was in love. They wore the black shirts and pants w/the long yellow jackets. Hehehe, I wasn't wearin a yellow rose head, I was wearin the t-shirt that had our guys in that same uniform. The guys were on fire! Now, I couldn't see that well but they sounded better than ever! CAN'T GET NEXT TO YOU, TWYDTTYD, AIN'T TOO PROUD TO BEG, BALL, saw some new moves in there! WISH IT WOULD RAIN, PAPA, GET READY. NOW, do you know how loud I scream when I hear STAY? They tore it up! TREAT HER LIKE A LADY had some new moves too. JUST MY IMAGINATION - ah!
One really 'cool' thing was between shows they played EDDIE singing Keep On Truckin and DAVID singing one of his solo songs. Sorry, can't remember the name right now. Our guys were seriously wonderful! They sang for over an hour but that's never long enough! GC tore up DON'T LOOK BACK! O introduced RON as 'Ron Symphony Tyson'. Agreed! Nothing from LEGACY yet tho. The fellow after our sweet TERRY was 9 feet tall this time! Joe was waaaay down there doin only what he can with a voice! Otis was dancin and smilin and flirtin as good as always. They all looked great, sounded wonderful and it over waaay too fast!
Ok, but here is why I can't remember the concert so well. We bugged some guy that worked there till he told us where they were comin out. As soon as the guys started shaking hands we headed in the 'out' direction. Just when we got to the barriers around the van/suv whatever, the people told us we might as well leave coz they weren't gonna stop and we couldn't get any closer. Ok, but we'll just stay here anyway..... Saw the guys starting to get into the van and we all yelled for RON. He waved and came right over! He came under 2 barriers to get to us. Hehehe, should have seen the parking peoples faces. RON was just precious! We proudly showed off our SWEET T attire. Nikki asked him if he'd sign her shirt and he said 'I'd be glad to sweetheart'. The silver metalic permanent marker worked great on his black shirt. Nikki told him to keep the marker coz he'd need it for other fans wearin their SWEET T shirts and hats. He hugged both girls and ME! He called Liz 'sweet baby' and me - 'MY LOVE'. Didn't even think about getting a picture! He shook David's hand and was so pleasant. Seemed like we had such a long time with him but it was prob coz we were the only ones there! Now, don't worry, he did walk over with a security guy but since I didn't have a rose head I guess we seemed ok. The van was just waitin on him but he took a nice long time with us. That was a real treat! Especially since we could barely see them at all during the concert. As they drove away they were all waving to us.....and the last thing I saw was this gorgeous BIG O smile. Then I fell down and scraped my knee. LOL - no kidding! Only me! At least the van was long gone! Perfect ending but now I have to get to go to AC. I wanta be close enough to see em! Everyone seemed sooooo tall that even tho I was glad there was a lot of dancing goin on I missed seeing those wonderful guys more. Hope I didn't disappoint ya. Have I ever mentioned that I don't like computers? We'll see how this works!
