Kelli's Review
Denver, 7/28/99
I just got back from my first
concert of any kind (Denver July 28 99), and I'm sooo tremendously
happy that it was Goo!!!!!! I think I'll be hoarse tomorrow cuz I was screaming
out lyrics at the top of my lungs. I probably wont get any sleep tonite....I'm
still full of energy! Anygoo, I thought they were really funny in
between songs. You have to understand how much it smelled! I smelled a
lot of pot, ciggie smoke, and alcohol there, and the three combined really
reek. So John goes, "Is there someone really big out there farting? Cuz
it really smells in here!" I don't guarantee that's exactly what he said,
but close enough. He said something like we better appreciate this, cuz
they're sweating their asses off up here. Hehe we appreciated it
and then some! John asked if everyone liked Sugar Ray, and everyone
went wild It kinda seemed to me like there were more SR fans than GGD =(
Then John goes "You know, it was my idea to bring them with us." LOL he's
so funny! And when he was talking about Name, he said he got more
shit for that song than Marilyn Manson did when he got his boobs put in!
LOL I love those boys! He also made his little speech about how his nephews
and nieces ask him if
he knows the BSB and how
they'd kick his ass. Everyone BOOed him for that one cuz we all know thats
not true! Just for those of you who want to know (you know who you are)
I believe John was wearing a white tank top and his khaki cargo pants (I
THINK). And I loved that film @ the beginning! But they wouldn't let us
go down @ the end of the concert to get confetti or anything =( Oh well,
I'm just glad we were in the seats and not on the lawn (sorry for
all u who were, though I'm sure it was still GOOd right?) Sugar Ray DID
perform, and Mark was teasing John Elway about his retirement (who
was apparently there w/ family) He said "John what were you smoking?!"
Then he said something about Bubby Brister, but I couldn't hear over the
roar of the crowd. He also said, "To all the grown ups and young kids out
there--never smoke marijuana.
But if you chose to, make sure you have lots of Fritos around." Later the
rest of Sugar Ray were saying "Mark you need your fluids at this altitude"
LOL I wouldn't know I've grown up here. He said something about thank
you to our personal bartender
(so apparently they were drinking onstage ugh I personally don't approve).......ummm
what else do I wanna say......I dunno! Fastball was pretty good, although
the crowd didn't really seem to be into it for them. A LOT of people left
after Iris (dumb people!) so my friend and I were able to move even closer
after that. Johnny threw his guitar through the big screen for Two Days
in February when they were done. He said that 2 days was about "a boy,
a girl, and a phone bill".....the whole thing was just surreal for me.
I was absolutely in awe...and everyone around me was looking at
me weird for screaming so loud,
but I don't care! Oh and when I got into the car and turned the radio on,
Alice 106 was playing Slide!!!!!!! Could this night have been any better?!
Who cares if there was lightning and a little bit of rain? I was just happy
to be there. Well I have to go now =( I'm sure I've bored you enough with
all my rambling, and I'm surprised if you actually
read this whole thing!
