Definitely feel 8) .

 

My daughter got "dragged along" as she put it , to a Def Leppard (?sp) concert a few days ago.

 

Her bass had a spare ticket and said "you're from Sheffield aren't you...get your glad rags on and join us. Posh box with food....the works.

 

She had a great time....and I bet you will too.

My Mum is a huge Country fan. Even though she prefers "New" Country to old, she still likes Dolly. I'm sure it would be a great night out. Please don't be embarrassed. I took my Mum to the NIA to see Alison Krauss and Robert Plant recently (I'm a Zepp fan of many years standing), and I had a great time! :D

I think that there are artists that you really like their songs and others who you wouldn't necessarily go out and buy but would be a great show to watch.........for me Dolly Parton would probably a good entertaining fun show - but I wouldn't buy her album in a million years :lol:

Have just got back in form the concert and had to post this before I went to bed. The concert was fab - she is such an entertainer and played so many instruments. She was on from 8pm-10.30pm with only a 15 minute break.

 

She did a real rock version of the Fine Young Cannibals hit She drives me Crazy (she also played electric guitar like she was auditioning for Nickelback 8) )

 

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole night and would go out and buy tickets to see her again! :clap:

I'm with you AMO, although I was a fan beforehand.

 

My favorite number was the fantastic accapella number with the 10 men in her band - that was really something else!

 

When she played 9 to 5, the whole place was dancing and singing - even your truely :oops:

 

Were you in one of the boxes, or on the floor with the rest of us plebs?

I'm glad you had a good time. I quite like her, always sing along when she comes on the radio! And of course Steel Magnolias is one of my favorite films. :lol:

 

When we went to Florida a couple of years ago, there is a Dixie Dolly Stampede (I might not have the correct name there). Its a wild west show with horses, buffalo etc, with some of her songs and they show a film with her on it at the end. It was great. :oops:

Yes the acapella was brill - my favourite was Jesus and Gravity with the Gospel style chorus - gave me goosebumps!

 

I loved the way she spoke between the songs so you got a real understanding of her life and the story behind the songs. The story of her dad, the stature and the pigeon poo had me welling up.

:cry:

We were to the left of the stage in one of the raised areas - quite a way back from the stage and yes we were all up singing along! 8)
