As everyone has said already, what an awesome show. For all those who were attending their first Randy concert, you picked one of the best. What a Grand Theater. My first time to to the Paramount, but not a Randy first for me.

I took my sister and niece with me. Neither one of them had been to a Randy concert. My niece is almost 19 and she said it was the best live concert she had ever been to. And she has been to a lot. My sister called me again today to tell me thanks for the wonderful experience and she really understood now why I was so in in love with Randy. My niece was even singing along with quite a few songs. However, on "King of the Road", she didn't know it, but my sister and I sang our hearts out. My niece was in shock.

We were in the second row of the balcony and had a great view of Randy. The acoustics were outstanding. There was a pretty rowdy bunch in the balcony. We just all really had the time of our lives. As Ronda mentioned about the Nebraska show, Randy graced us with a special encore of really "golden oldies", Merle Haggard, Hank Sr., etc. What a treat.

For all of you who were honored with the M&G, congratulations and I know you had an experience you will never forget. (I had my M&G in July.)

Randy just gets better and better every year. I am glad to hear he and Lib are taking some well deserved time off.

Randy was great, but my greatest moment that night was meeting Sharon (pdRTfan). She may be small in stature, but has a really big presence and a really big heart. We both got there early enough to be able to have about a half hour visit together. Of course, that wasn't long enough, but sure didn't want to miss the beginning of the show. Hopefully, we will have a chance to be together again some time. In the meantime, we will surely keep in touch through the fan club.

I was so glad to hear that they gave special consideration to the fan club members when rushing everyone through. That's the way it should be.

Sharon, I am so happy we were able to meet and greet also. It was wonderful meeting you, your sister, and your friend. (See picture in my gallery.)

P.S. Sharon, I drove into my driveway at 2 a.m. Saturday morning. We stopped to eat on the way home. Was sure glad to see my bed.
