06/25/2010 Rick Springfield Taste of Joliet Joliet, IL
Opening Band: 7th Heaven
Typical Rick show. We had fun :) There was a group of 6 of us, and it wasn't terribly far from home. We were a bit far away, so I only got one good pic.
A couple of cool things did happen. He had a young 14 year old kid, Dustin Walker, from Joliet play guitar with him on What's Victoria's Secret. Jack White's kid (Jackson) played drums during Crossroads. I love when Rick plays that, and especially more so because we were going to go see Mr. Clapton play it the next day :) Jack White also came out and played drums during the encore. Jack was the Rick's drummer during the 1980s, and was also on tour with him back in the late 1990s when he first came back. We actually met him back in 1999, and he was so cool :)

06/18/2010 Dave Matthews Band Verizon Wireless Music Center Noblesville, IN
Opening Band: Robert Earl Keen
One wild night. It was sweltering hot. We were camping at Close By Campground. When we pulled in with our pop-up in the early afternoon, they first wanted to park us next to the dirt road and porta-potties, with a little hill behind. After some deliberation, they decided that we would be better off on the back side of the little hill. Good thing. We headed off to the show on the school bus. Even though the weather was good, we zipped up the camper before we left, and made sure most of our stuff was put away. Another good thing. The opening band played, and it was almost time for DMB to take the stage. An announcement was made that there was a severe line of storms headed toward the venue. The show was delayed. They recommended taking shelter in your car, and they would let everyone back in when it was done. We were in the pavillion, so were not worried. First, the wind started blowing. Hard. It was refreshing. Then it started raining sideways, and we were getting wet. After over 1.5 hours of this, it got old. It finally let up, but now we were freezing! The band came on and kicked butt! We were still freezing, and wound up buying long sleeved tour shirts. I never, ever, wear a tank top...but did that day because it was so hot. Go figure!
Setlist: JTR * Squirm * Seven * Don’t Drink the Water * Lying In the Hands of God * Shake Me Like a Monkey * Break For It * Tripping Billies * Corn Bread *+ Road *+ Gravedigger * #41 * Crash (Into Me) * You Might Die Trying * Two Step * Ants Marching * __________________

We wound up walking back to the campground, because the drunk kids were so obnoxious trying to barge back onto the bus. When we got back, we asked one of the workers how it was. "Wet, muddy, and torn up." The road was dark, and it definitely was muddy. We saw a lot of mangled tents and equipment, and wondered how we had fared. Luckily, all was well. Even the awning had survived. The only thing that was out of place was our small cooler, which we had put leftover burgers in so that they wouldn't heat up the small fridge too much. The cooler was on its side, open. The contents were on our little table. One of the burgers was half eaten. Some of the people camping near us (who didn't go to the show) told us that there were some wasted kids who were wandering around raiding campsites. Other than that, everything was intact, including the awning.
Around 1:30 AM, it started lightning and thundering again. We got round 2. Bryon hung out in the storm, helping our neighbors hold down their backup shade tents. All turned out well :)
