One of the top five best concerts of my lifetime.

Went to see the Doobie Brother and Chicago in concert at the Verizon Amphitheater in Alpharetta, GA. Sat night.
I was a mess. Outer bands of Tropical Storm Cindy, only off and on, but pretty hard at times. As a result of the weather delays and a parking FUBAR, we finally got to see the last two songs of the DB's. This was ok with me because I only cared to see Chicago anyway.

When we got in we were on the lawn. No worries, I had a golf umbrella and it make a very efficient little tent over Val and I. There was a familiar smell in the air, classic rock, and I really felt young again.

I took the long walk to get liquor and in line I had a couple interesting conversations. I told one guy that I had never seen so many old people except at a funeral, he laughed and told me he had heard several references to Woodstock.
I thought about that and wondered if the current group of people would be able to stand three days of this, thought ....don't think so.

Anyway, I was talking to a cute young couple behind me and said I was retired and she said, "It must be great not to have anything special to do on any one day."
I laughed and said, "You don't understand, the "Honey Do" list gets a lot longer." Sweet young thing she was she said, "What's a "Honey Do" list?

It was at this point a couple other guys in the line next to us couldn't believe she didn't know, so explained it to her. She got a light bulb look on her face and the guy just looked blank.
I thought I was going to fall over laughing, but I didn't.
I just was so grateful to be able to talk to young'uns and help them understand life.

Maybe that was the best part of the concert, interaction with other people.

Chicago shortly was and continues to be a prodigious band. I didn't follow them much but heard most of their hits listening to my car radio on the way to work. I also heard the Doobie Bro hits as well and never followed them. I don't think that Chicago is the same after Peter Cetera left.

One of my favorites was Credence Clearwater Revival. A few years ago I got to see John Fogarty here at Reliant Center. It was obvious he was the center of CCR because even solo, he brought back the old songs better than when I heard them on the radio.

I wish I had been at Woodstock, too and to the Monterey Pop Festival in those years. Some of the greatest rock 'n' roll ever performed.
