Well, it looks like it's not going to turn out for me after all at this point. It was a nice idea, though! lol
At least The Border will be represented. Have a blast on behalf of all of us!
You guys don't have long now until your solo concerts! I can't wait to read your report and find out what is on Don's set list! Wonder if he will throw in some surprises like he did that summer in Dallas & OKC?
Nope, not long at all, DF! I've been busy doing some last-minute shopping and speculating as to what he'll sing, what he'll be wearing, etc. I'm just about to print off my flight tickets actually (I bought them a week or so ago, but they've only just come through. Talk about raising my heart rate!) I so can't wait. It's going to be incredible.
What surprises did he throw in when you saw him?
Oh, I also forgot to say, as all of my gushing has been in the other thread... Jess managed to get me a ticket in row 11, front center block, for this show!
you better put it all behind you, baby, 'cause life goes on
you keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside--
Troub, he sang a fabulous new slow version of End of the Innocence that took our breath away. He also sang a ballad by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits called "I'm the Fool," and a David Gray song called "Disappearing World."
I also absolutely lost it when he sang "I Will Not Go Quietly." That was the one solo song I wanted to hear the most, and it ROCKED.
I too am wondering what the set list will be. I love that he covers quite a few songs. I wouldn't mind it if he covers the same songs I heard last time. I think I love his versions of those songs even better. I hope hope hope that he does that same BEAUTIFUL version of End of the Innocence again. **SIGH** And I think I would if he does Come Rain or Come Shine.

Well, I don't think we'll be much use to each other anyway, as we're in different rows! Here's hoping I have a big, beefy bloke sat next to me (for safety reasons, obviously.) Preferably one that doesn't get freaked out by extreme female hysteria!

Aw Troub, just bat your eyes at your concert neighbor and call him a big beefy bloke to his face and you will have no trouble at all! In fact, you just may make him melt into a puddle!

And I dream I'm on vacation 'Cause I like the way that sounds,
It's a perfect occupation for me.
Oh crap!!! I didn't even think about that. I've just been sooo excited about seeing Don again that I didn't even think about the affects of actually seeing the man. I mentioned in another thread about getting Lou some smelling salts in case she faints but I didn't even think that I may need some for myself.
