I’m way behind on my blogging. Sawry! I helped a college friend celebrate a birthday this weekend–a nice round number. Heh. Her husband booked the famed Stone Pony for the night! (Where Bruce Springsteen got his start.) It was pretty awesome. Much fun was had by all. Asbury Park rules!

Tamera’s recap from the Elliott Yamin concert at the Maryland Theater in Hagerstown, MD 11/5/07

**********

I had previously been to only the season 4 Pop-Tarts tour. Tonight was my first individual “Idol” concert. And I was PUMPED to see Elliott! My dear hubby was enthused about seeing one of his fav Idols. (His #1 fav is Bo Bice) No pictures because hubby left the phone that takes pictures at home.

Venue is in a restored historic circa 1915 theater. It is absolutely gorgeous—gilded carvings, box seats on sides (think the old guys in the box seats on The Muppet Show) The acoustics are phenomenal.

The crowd was pretty mixed age wise. There were quite a few 30+ guys with their significant others. There was a big contingent of seeing teens. Our seats were in the center 5 rows from stage(about 20 feet) The stage is low (eye level) which made it feel very intimate. In front of us were contest winner and VIP seats.

Sarah from http://teamplaid.com attended the Elliott Yamin concert Sunday night at the House of Blues in Orlando Florida. Here is her recap:

The concert was GREAT. I’m really glad we got there early. Well, on time, really, but you know what I mean. My roommate and I both loved both opening acts. Josh Hoge has SO much soul in his voice, but on the whole, his songs seem pretty versatile. He was fantastic - his whole set was acoustic. His “breakup” song, 360? Yeah, totally identified with that, and I told him as much when I got the chance to talk to him later. Oh a little Josh Hoge scoop - he’s been signed to a new label out of New York and is going into the studio in January to begin recording a full length album that will be released sometime next spring or early summer, they hope. He’s also been signed to an endorsement deal with Geico and has some big things with them in the works. And yeah - he’s not bad on the eyes at all. Okay…

The Last Goodnight - also fantastic!! My roommate loved the 80’s influences in their sound. *cough* At first, I thought the lead singer looked a little like Adam Levine, but as their set continued my roommate pointed out that he looks more like a non-tatted up Joel Madden, and I TOTALLY see that! Anyway, we both agree that The Last Goodnight should definitely make it big. The band is tight and they have a great sound. It’s obvious that they’ve been playing together for a while - their transitions are seamless. It’s also obvious that their target demographic is young females - not unlike Maroon 5 - and the ladies there tonight certainly responded well to them. And my roommate and I both recognized their single as a song we’d heard before, so that’s a good thing. Anyway, we really really liked both opening acts. So, if you’re going to an Elliott concert - make sure you get there on time!!!

Okay… Elliott!!!
