    Thanks for the awesome review, PrettyMaid!

    I saw some of the You Tube stuff and Joe looked like he was wilting. I could only imagine how beastly hot it was for the fans too.

    While we were waiting for the show to start we were talking to the people around us, who were all locals. When I told them we had come 3 hours from Central IL they said, "You didn't come just for this, did you? You came for the whole thing [Ribfest], right?" When we told them that we had come just to see Joe, they said WOW! They couldn't believe it. (These were the few people in front of us who obviously were not big Joe Walsh fans like us. Seemed a little unfair to me that they were in front of me! Lol!)

    I agree PM - you should have totally been in front of those people. I guess they should never underestimate a hardcore, huh.

    And as you can see, I created a new thread for the show.

    I had the same thing happen in Pittsburgh...people said "you didn't come all the way from Buffalo just to see Timothy did you?" they thought we had come for the art fest and just happened to be Timothy fans...funny...yeah they looked really shocked when I said...no we came just for Timothy (what art, never noticed it!)...so I get what you're saying about Joe...definitely unfair anyone should sit in front of any of us! I wonder how Joe is feeling today?

    I am so sorry Austin & Deb that you weren't able to make it either. I'm just jutted for you, Austin. I know it meant a lot to you. To be honest, as hot as it was, I really wasn't as devastated that we weren't able to make it as I would have been had the weather been nice.

    Great review PM! And kudos to you and hubby for toughing it out.

    I almost feel guilty complaining about the weather for these things because think of the poor artist, he's got more than a decade and a half on me and he was able to endure it. Shame on me!

    July 1st is the day Joe was playing a benefit for Illinois democrat Tammy Duckworth.
