I won an award at work that came with a monetary bonus that afforded me a ticket to go to see Barry at Foxwoods this past Saturday night, May 27th, 2017. What an amazing concert! I filmed as much of it as I could. I regret not fully charging my camera battery before going. I thought about it and decided against it because I had just charged it within the last week or so and had hardly used it since. However I should have charged it fully because the low battery icon started blinking well before the show was over. I filmed as much as possible and the battery never did die. I recorded "I Write the Songs", "I Am Your Child", "Even Now", "Weekend in New England" and "Daybreak", which I had never seen him sing live in its entirety but always wanted to, so that was a wish fulfilled.
My other regret was not studying the layout of the casino to figure out the best (meaning closest) parking garage for this theater. The first garage I parked in was ridiculously far from the theater but I had a lot of time to spare, so I went and tried to move it closer. If possible, I think the second lot was even further! But whatever, I can use the exercise.
Upon leaving, I discovered the very first garage entrance I had passed when I first got there, had a huge sign that said it was the best lot for the show. And that was when I remembered that that was the same one I had parked in the last time I had seen him there, the night I won $1,800 and sat in the second row on my nephew's birthday, March 28th, 2015, and it was ideal, indeed the closest lot.
I just love this man so much! I loved him when I was young and I still love him now. I am so happy he's still alive, especially with all these great musicians dying lately, like David Bowie, Prince and more recently, Gregg Allman. I'm so grateful he's still performing! Even though his shows these days are few and far between.
