ZAC BROWN CONCERT

View of the stage from their seats.Great seats!

After that exciting flag football game, (the one where Travis and Nathan's team won the championship) Erik tells us the excitement didn’t stop there.


We have tickets to take them to see Bruno Mars next month but on Saturday we took the kids to see one of my favorite bands, Zac Brown Band for their first concert. They play country but they are the "cool kind" of country that gets played on popular radio. The concert was at the Hollywood Bowl which is a great place to go to for a concert.

Before we got there we went to Pinks Hot Dog Stand (famous) stood in line for an hour and 20 minutes and took our food to the bowl so we could tailgate. The concert and crowd were great and we all had a great time.  We got home around 1:30 am which made for a couple of long days this past weekend but it was worth it. 
Lindsey fell asleep an hour into the concert.  She was a tired girl.

Here's an opeing sentence or two part of a review of the concert that I got online.
Confidence does not come with compromise, and Zac Brown Band isn't giving an inch.
Nor does it need to, as evidenced by its country barnburner Saturday at a packed Hollywood Bowl, the most glamorous stop on the six-piece pride of Georgia's first headlining tour.

The band's decade-in-the-making meteoric rise within the genre's fan base to the unofficial title "best group going in country" has come with an equally definitive "Who's that?" reaction from outside, despite its best new artist Grammy win in 2010. But unlike others willing to cross over to "mainstream" success, with whatever that entails in today's music industry, Brown and his cohorts clearly are content to let fans cross over to them.

Here's some info on the "Bowl".  It was built in 1927 and at one time was slated for demolition.  It has since had a few face lifts, but I believe it still remains the largest outdoor ampitheater in the world.
