I got my admission wristband and walked about 6 steps into the club, where I run into none other than Glen himself. When I said I felt bad about missing Dibs, he told me that they didn’t play. Spiraling was onstage, a few songs into thier set. I went in and chose a spot to stand with a good camera angle and started snapping pix. Then, while still enjoying the show I moved to the other side of the room and used the shelf table to gather a few things out of my concert bag… fliers, clipboard, pens, etc. Once I had everthing ready to roll, I let myself be carried off by the incredible music pouring out of the speakers. 신용카드현금화
Even though I’d seen them play at the Xtravaganza, or with Glen at his shows, this was only my 2nd time seeing a Spiraling gig. Oh sweet stars! Tommy’s skill with the keyboards is beyond brilliant. Marty’s guitarwork is amazing. Paul & Bob create a rhythm section that flows so seemlessly that, in my opinion, could turn a few ‘national’ acts I know green with envy. I am so blown away by this band! I strongly suggest that if it’s possible to be in the area of Sayreville NJ on August 15th, get yourself to the Starland Ballroom in a hurry! They’re having a release party for the new CD ‘Challenging Stage’. This is one band you don’t want to miss! 신용카드현금화
After Spiraling finished, I went over near the stage to wait for Glen to start his set.
I had the opportunity to chat briefly with Spiraling’s guitarist, Marty. What a nice guy! As we were talking, a lady I’d seen at shows before came over. As we got to chatting, I found out that her name was Karen & she is Tommy’s sister. This is one of the things I love about going to see Glen play… I always end up meeting the coolest folks & making new friends! If you go see Spiraling & see a lady with short, dark hair doing some awesome dance moves, be sure to go say hi! Karen rocks! I then got to say hello to my friend Jeff, who was working hard at the console during both sets. Haven’t seen him since Glen’s show at Harry’s Roadhouse a while back, so it was cool to catch up with him. Sending best wishes and good vibes his way for the new assignment Jeff’s starting. Also, I had the pleasure of seeing Rosie Burtnick for a moment. As those of you who’ve met her know, she is a wonderful lady. Always a pleasure to have a chance to say hello. 신용카드현금화
About 10pm Glen took the stage, and I decided to stake out my favorite vantage point at the headliner… front row, to my right, in the space between the first floor amp and the big wall of amps on the side. Glen got onstage..The setlist:
Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough (played solo on an accoustic guitar)
Roses
Here Comes Sally
Another
Bam!
Super Boy
KYAG
Heartbreak Time
Welcome To Hollywood
Cry
Love Is The Ritual
Follow You
I have the feeling I missed a song or 2.. not sure. :-/ I do have the setlist, but there are a bunch of extra songs on it which I’m thinking were either warm up tunes, or extras on standby. I don’t remember them being played. (I’m EXTREMELY curious about “You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away”, by the way. I don’t recognize this title.) 신용카드현금화

During the show, Glen paid homage to Krispy Kreme donuts.. which got me craving one almost instantly. lol He also mentioned that his song ‘Delicious Suprise’ was going to be a single for country artist Jo Dee Messina. A member of the band ‘The Youth Ahead” came up onstage to join them for a double-whammy version of KYAG, and Glen mentioned his new cd.. claiming that his strategy was that you couldn’t buy it.
Well… lol
I will blame what happened next on having so much fun that I didn’t give any thought to speaking out during a concert in progress. I called up to him about NEHrecords.com having it available to buy. When he asked what I said again, I repeated it as clearly as I could. He then spoke it into the mic and asks me “They have it?” When I said yes, he jokes “That’s just a rumor!”.. then that it was true. lol Then he ‘introduced’ me by name to the audience. *blush* LOL At this point, I felt it somewhat prudent NOT to call out a request for Ooga Sha La Bango, Rainbow Day, or Flood Of Tears. ;-D
Before I knew it, this incredibly fun show was coming to a close. I tell y’all honestly.. nights like this pass by WAY too fast. But what a fantastic show!
After the set, I walked around a bit with my fliers and clipboard. Folks I talked to said they enjoyed the show, and I even got to meet a married couple (whose names, sadly, escape me at the moment) that met years ago at one of Glen’s shows. Nice people! A few minutes later, I ran into my dear friends Missy and Jimmy! (Thanks again for the ride home! *hugs*) The white kitkat was heavenly, by the way.. thanks again Missy! 신용카드현금화
Shortly after, Glen took time to stop and chat with me a bit. He signed an LP I’d brought with me, as well as a personal memento from the WTH listening party in Atlanta. (Thank you again for everything!) Before long he had to get his things together, so he went to get that underway. I spoke a bit more with Karen, (and a few more brief words with Glen as he went back and forth lol) as well as Tommy and Marty, and Missy & Jimmy. Then the club pumped up the volume on the house speaker system… which, I’m thinking, was their subtle way of letting us know they wanted to go home. lol
And with that.. one heck of a evening came to a close! I’m so very glad that I managed to get there. Thanks to everyone there for a fun night.
Now… who’s coming to BB Kings on the 25th?
