Juke Box Hero ! !

While I was in Sacramento visiting my friends The Roses, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a once in a lifetime concert.  Jason Bonham, Cheap Trick, and Foreigner at the Toyota Amphitheatre ! !  The tickets came complete with a back stage tour, VIP hour before the concert, pictures with Foreigner, and Row 2 center seating.  Thank you very much Keith and Nancy.  It was a crazy night. The temperatures had hovered around 110 all day and even the scant shade there was, offered little relief.  I’m not sure if I was in shock from everything, or what, but I feel like the night flew by.  We were escorted to a VIP tent complete with free drinks and hor d’oeuvres designed by lead singer Kelly Hansen, where Kelly himself stopped by to talk about the tour and his recipes.  Not really what I pictured a rock and roll lead singer would chat about, but it was pretty cool.  By the time Jason Bonham was done with his set, the sun had set enough to make the temperature bearable, and when Cheap Trick hit the stage the party was on.  For a group in their age bracket, they put on one heck of a show.  I was very impressed and found myself wishing I knew more of their songs.  Ok, so now it was time for Foreigner, wow, they were pretty amazing.  Mick Jones is a guitar genius.  I thoroughly enjoyed the concert, the whole experience was awesome ! !
