Foreigner - They Rocked

While we were in Reno we were researching some things to do - entertainment for the evenings - and my brother found out that Foreigner was playing at our hotel - I had no clue who Foreigner was but my family said they were a band from the '70s. I listened to the oldies so I figured I must know at least one of their songs. Unfortunately, due to the late notice, we were only able to get 6 tickets and there were 8 of us. Thinking that I didn't have a clue who this band was I told my family I didn't care if I went. We all struggled over who would go and then finally, Dennis and Katie decided they wanted to stay with the kids and the rest of us would go. Let me tell you, I was so glad I went!

From the second they hit the stage I realized I totally not only knew who they were, but I knew ALL of their songs! Too funny. However, those that know me well know that I am one of those people that can sing along to all of the lyrics of nearly every song but I could never tell you the name of the song or the name of the band / singer. It's a gift really - HA! Anyway, the band was rocking and they totally gave 110% to their performance. The crowd was filled with middle aged women who were screaming, dancing, getting told to get down off of their chairs, getting told by security that they couldn't rush the stage, and altogether totally out of control. It was hilarious. Another thing that was hilarious was the fact that a majority of the band was still original. The best member was this old guitarist - how old is this guy, seriously?? He has to be in his 70s. P.S. yes I took both of these pictures, shows you how close I was to the stage - awesome!

Anyway, the concert was awesome and we had great seats - second row! It was a total blast. There are not many concerts that you can go to with your parents and you both enjoy the music. I am really glad I got to experience Foreigner live - and, I learned who sings all those great songs, Cold As Ice, Feels Like The First Time, Hot Blooded, Double Vision, Dirty White Boy, Head Games...and the list goes on. Going to concerts of bands I don't know, but then realizing I actually do know them - not the first time during my Life As A Wife.
