Post subject:  Hank Williams Jr and Skynard at the Sears Center
In all my years of going to a concert, I had never saw anything as retarded as I saw last night. First, considering the price that we paid for these tickets, we have every right to stand for the entire show. I kid you not, everyone in the place was standing EXCEPT for the people in our section. I cant help you if you dont know how to have fun.

Anyways, in the middle of the concert, this old guy sitting next to my wife grabs her arm and asks her to help him work his cellphone! Who does this! Then, a guy that was probably in his late 20s is hitting on and asks for the phone number of one of the three 50-60 year old women in front of me. I thought he was kidding at first until he walked away crying :shock:

I will say, Hank Williams Jr. is a good musician as well as performer, though I do think he has a multiple personality disorder while he is on stage. Skynard actually kind of seems like they still enjoy playing the same stuff they have been playing for 30 years. I thank Frank mentioned it also, but the accoustics were terrible. Several times it seemed like the guitars were drowning out everything, which I dont think was their intention.

Statistics from the night:
- 3 guys in overalls
- 4 guys and 1 girl sporting the Larry the Cable Guy look
- 1 guy who was way too skinny to be sporting the Larry the Cable Guy look.
- 15 mullets
- 1 guy in a Grateful Dead hockey jersey
- Over 1000 people who want the south to rise again.

She should have told him to get the Jitterbug.

You forgot to mention the slender nature of the crowd....

Yes, watching two giant people try to struggle out of their chairs to stand up for Sweet Home Alabama was damned funny :)

One other story I forgot about. We saw the Loop booth and some old guy with long white hair who looked like Blue in Old School was broadcasting. I said to my wife "is that the loop rock girl?". She looked at me and laughed. Then I thought about Stink's story and it stopped being funny.

I was about to get the crisco for the two struggling to get up.
as for the accoustics they sucked, bocephus was really pissed by the end because the reverb was terrible and there was nothing in the ceiling to eat up the extra sound so it wasn't bouncing as much.
